Seems to be a foregone conclusion even if Bentley has spend up all the available tax credits and coupons for Huntsville. Just need to dial it in.

It looks fantastic! That modern facade will add a lot to the area... Especially with the renovation of the Lyrics across the street.

Agreed. I was only slightly worried that they would just put their name on the top and move in without changing anything. Glad to see that this is not the case.

What Atlanta investor Travis Taylor has planned for the Ideal building - Birmingham Business Journal

Quote:
The investor who recently purchased downtown's historic Ideal Department Store building has big plans for the property.
Travis E. Taylor said plans we reported earlier of a mixed-use residential and commercial redevelopment are indeed in the works. But there's more.
"We're also entertaining the idea of adding two to four stories," Taylor said of the six-story building. "We'd like to go eight or 10."

I'm not sure how they would design the extra 4 stories, but I definitely don't mind them going higher. I saw them advertising units in the building on Craigslist so I guess some of them are already done.

Yes, it would be interesting to see an older existing building added on to like that.

BMW Motorcycles of Birmingham opens on Cobb Street - Birmingham Business Journal

I guess this nixes the BMW motorcycle dealer that I thought was coming to a space near Barber's. Unless the market is big enough for two.
