The Homewood City Council approved at their December 8th meeting, plans to redevelop a portion of the former Brookwood Village into a new health facility for Andrews Sports Medicine.

The unanimous vote by the Council paves the way for a $110 million two-story center that will include:

  • 55,000-square foot clinic 
  • 65,000-square foot ambulatory orthopedic surgery center 

The redevelopment plan also includes improvements for parking.

“We are excited to have the world-class Andrews Sports Medicine clinic move to Homewood, and to see the beginnings of a re-imagined Brookwood Mall. 

This property is not just important to Homewood, it is a keystone piece of property for Jefferson County. As a neighbor to the property and as Homewood’s mayor, I can’t wait to watch the progress unfold!” 

Jennifer Andress, Homewood Mayor

Brookwood Village redevelopment

First opened in 1974, most of Brookwood Village closed in January 2022, with the shopping mall’s last remaining tenant, Five Guy’s Burgers and Fries, departing in 2024. 

In late 2024, Bham Now reported that world-renowned orthopedic clinic Andrews Sports Medicine was developing plans to redevelop a 135,000-square-foot section of the vacant shopping mall as a new Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center.

According to the BBJ, the move to Brookwood Village will roughly double Andrews Sports Medicine’s capacity resulting in an increase of roughly 10,000 to 20,000 patient visits a year.
