"You are my density!"
Er, destiny.
Birmingham's downtown is about to get a little denser if the Brownstones of Birmingham project becomes a reality.
The development, currently under review by city planners, will build four brownstones on the 500 block of West Brown Street, a few blocks west of downtown. The two buildings that stood on the now vacant 0.25-acre parcel were razed in 2004. A 2.5-story building would rise on the property.
The exterior would be composed of brick and limestone materials. Each unit would have 3,000 square feet of space and a three-car garage. The city has approved similar plans for the space earlier this decade, but they never materialized. A new developer is taking on the project.
