While the number of condo units available at City Federal has dwindled down to single digits, Atlanta-based developer, Carter, is on the hunt for retail tenants to fill more than 15,000 square feet of space available at the 98-year-old building on Second Avenue North in downtown Birmingham. John Akin, vice president of Carter’s advisory services group, confirms that three spaces in the lower levels of the 27-story mixed-use building are on sale, including; 7,500 square feet in the basement, 4,330 square feet on the ground level and 3,200 square feet on the mezzanine level.
City Federal’s downtown location and easy access to parking make it an ideal setting for almost any business. “It’s a great spot,” says Fran Godchaux, interim president of Operation New Birmingham. “Second Avenue North is kind of a vitality street. It is literally work/play.”
More and more mixed-use buildings are surfacing downtown, which is encouraged as the city continues to grow and anticipate new projects like the planned baseball park near Railroad Park. To find out more, see the article featured in the Birmingham Business Journal.
