Mixed-use construction is an opportunity to blend multiple platforms into a single space, fostering convenience and community. These projects can maximize the potential of a property and often focus on equitable and sustainable land use. In many cases, we are shaping a walkable and vibrant neighborhood where place-making is at the heart of design and functionality.

The Hardwick

Often, revitalizing the best locations requires more ingenuity and elbow grease. This was the case for our Hardwick project, a former steel processing plant originally constructed in 1910. The site, located in an emerging area of downtown adjacent to Birmingham’s popular Rotary Trail, had been empty for several years. Our team shored up the foundations to allow for second and third floors, while working through pre-existing conditions with multiple items arising during construction. We abated asbestos and lead while carefully preserving the building’s industrial character. Existing steel, timber brickwork and even a crane lift remain exposed, and we added skylights to improve tenant health. The result is a mixed-use hub with restaurant and retail space downstairs and Class-A office space above.
