A local development team is bringing more residential units and retail space to the Midtown area with the redevelopment of a 1920s-era building at the corner of Twentieth Street and Fifth Avenue.
Designed by CCR Architecture & Interiors, current plans call for residential housing units on the top floor and two restaurants and a spa on the bottom floor.
The building formerly housed Rees Auto Service from the 1920s to the 1940s as well offices and restaurants in the 1960s and 1970s. Most recently, the building housed businesses including Quality Shoe Repair, Classic 13 Tattoo, The Syndicate Lounge, and Pizza Hut.
The project is significant as it will add more residential options to Midtown, and retaining the building will contribute to the preservation of Birmingham’s historic urban fabric.
