Today, two prominent local Birmingham developers announced the construction of a new boutique coworking office project anchoring the emerging Avonwood Commercial District.

Called the Offices, the development is led by Phil Amthor and Jeremy Erdreich. Currently under construction, the space is located at the intersection of 5th Ave S and 45th Street (4439 5th Ave S, Birmingham) near the popular Jones Valley Trail.  

Avondale + Crestwood = Avonwood

“Flexible, convenient private coworking offices are growing in demand. We see terrific interest in turnkey work spaces, with one simple monthly payment covering furniture, high speed internet and printing that are closer to neighborhoods and not in the CBD but also still convenient to nearby restaurants, bars and greenspace. We’re calling this area ‘Avonwood’ due to its history and sense of place perfectly located at the intersection of Avondale, Crestwood, Woodlawn, Forest Park and Crestline.”

Phil Amthor

The space includes:

  • 9 private offices
  • 2 office suites
  • Lounge
  • Conference space
  • Onsite parking

Natural light, comfort and a Century-old Magnolia tree

Amthor and Erdreich, who are both architects, have also installed several creative design elements.

  • High ceilings 
  • Modern design
  • Large common lounge facing a garden featuring a magnificent, century-old Magnolia tree
  • Private offices with natural light
  • Community outdoor and indoor areas that will lend itself to cross collaboration amongst tenants

“We wanted to create a sophisticated yet relaxed environment. Our distinct design has already attracted entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to have their own office while being able to invite in clients or pop out into Avondale for lunch.”
