Proposal to demolish 5 Highland Park buildings removed from Design Review agenda
Reading time: 1 minute
On Monday, Dec. 15, proposals to demolish five historic buildings in the Highland Park neighborhood were removed from the Birmingham Design Review Committee’s (DRC) Wednesday, Dec. 17 agenda.
The action to postpone consideration of these agenda items came shortly after the Highland Park Neighborhood Association distributed a newsletter to residents a petition opposing the project.
They also included a link to the applicant’s proposed conceptual plan that was presented to the neighborhood’s historic advisory committee.
In the proposal by Robert Brown from Stone River Company, buildings at the following addresses would be considered for demolition.
- 2310 Highland Ave. South
- 2312 Highland Ave. South
- 1024 24th St. South
- 1051 24th St. South
- 1054 24th St. South
In addition to demolition, the Design Review Committee was slated to consider a conceptual plan.
Next meeting
According to the DRC’s website, they are only holding one meeting in December. The next regularly scheduled meeting is on Jan. 14, 2026, 7:30AM in the Birmingham City Council Chambers on the third floor in City Hall.
