Redstone Federal Credit Union’s New Downtown Huntsville Branch and Office Building - 5 stories | 200 Davis Circle (Twickenham Square) | 66,718 sqft

[timmay143]

Looks like Redstone Federal Credit Union broke ground yesterday on a new downtown Huntsville branch and office building.  The building will be 5 stories with 66,718 sqft of total space with an expected opening of Fall 2020.  The location will be at 200 Davis Circle in the Twickenham Square area.  The Twickenham Square area is a fairly new development that contains a Publix, some retail and restaurants, office buildings, hotel, residential and parking.  Architects will be the KPS Group and the exterior design is to feature more glass and metal panels as opposed to brick.

Apparently, the building will seem to glow as "motorists travel into the city from the interstate."  Not sure how you will be able to see this from I-565...maybe the Parkway...?

Redstone’s Twickenham Square location was previously the home of Phillips Christian Methodist Episcopal Church - the second oldest African-American congregation in Huntsville.

“We will erect a historic marker on these grounds to remember this congregation’s service to its membership and to the community,’’ Newberry said.

Church officials chose to relocate the congregation earlier this year.
