URGENT UPDATE: A new apartment complex is set to transform Birmingham’s Parkside, as preliminary plans have just received conceptual approval from the Birmingham Design Review Committee. The proposed development, known as Sherman Multifamily, will rise on the site of the former Sherman Industries at 1110 Second Avenue South, adjacent to the Denham Building.
The design, crafted by Fifth Dimension Architecture & Interiors, envisions a striking five-story structure featuring 335 residential units along with a dedicated parking garage. Abraham Odrezin, a landscape architect for the City of Birmingham, confirmed the committee’s decision on Wednesday, marking a significant step forward for the project.
This ambitious development is not just about housing; it promises to enhance community life with courtyards on both the east and west sides, complete with a pool, pavilion, and a dog park. Residents will enjoy numerous outdoor amenities designed to promote a vibrant lifestyle.
The first floor will house a variety of essential services, including leasing offices, mail rooms, and coworking spaces. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the state-of-the-art fitness and yoga studios, while a clubroom and bike storage add to the convenience. A stunning roof terrace on the fifth floor will provide residents with panoramic views and a perfect gathering spot.
Final approval for Sherman Multifamily is expected to be reviewed at a future meeting, which will be closely watched by local residents and stakeholders. The community is buzzing with anticipation as this project promises to bring much-needed housing and amenities to Birmingham’s Parkside area.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops and the project moves closer to realization.
