Downtown Residential Projects

[Southron]

2015 is shaping up to be a banner year for residential projects in downtown Montgomery. Over 300 residential units, more than all the units completed downtown in the last 10+ years combined, are in the works and slated for completion this year!

 

Two large infill developments account for over 200 of those units:

 

The Heights - 165 apartments  (pictured above)

 

Commerce and Bibb Development - 54 apartments

 

Market District and other Lower Dexter/Court Square area projects:

 

Market District - 45 apartments

 

Kress building - 30 apartments

 

Sous La Terre building at 80 Commerce St - 10 apartments

 

These projects add up to 304 new residential units, and more are rumored to be on the way soon.

The 11-story historic Bell Building at the corner of Montgomery and Lee streets was vacated in December 2014 and will be converted into 80 apartments with retail and restaurant space at ground level.  The $21.4 million project is supposed to be underway by late spring 2015. The Bell Building was built in 1907 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

This afternoon I snapped a couple of photos of two recently completed downtown residential projects:

 

The Printing Press Lofts on North Court Street opened in 2013 and includes 21 apartments in a renovated historic building.

 

The 40 Four Building opened last fall in a 1970s-era former bank administration building and includes 35 loft apartments on the 4th, 5th and 6th floors. The other five floors will remain commercial, with a new restaurant planned for the ground floor. This building is actually part of the Market District development, and the developers have their offices on the 7th and 8th floors.

 

I'll take some photos soon of some of the other completed residential projects downtown.
