Mercantile on Morris
"When the condos at Founders Station sold out in mere weeks, we came to appreciate just how desperately people wanted to live downtown. With that in mind, we sped up Phase II of that project and recently announced 6 more units above the future James Beard Award Winning restaurant, The Essential, and directly on Morris Ave. We've had a lot of emails and calls about those, so act fast bc they'll be move-in ready in May 2019.
Meanwhile, we've been designing our latest mixed use project, which is a historic redevelopment of three old merchant warehouses built in 1905. You'll remember these buildings as the home of the old "Matthews Bar & Grill" (yes, we played pool there, too). They are about to become Mercantile on Morris.
Mercantile is going to be awesome. Similar to Founders Station, we'll have a walkable plaza built among the bones of the old structure connecting 1st Ave N to Morris Ave. Along this plaza will be various retail, restaurants, and bars, and above all the action will be 40+ residential units with a Morris Ave address. There isn't a single unit over $240k.
Tired of Ubering downtown? Move here! Mercantile is a 5min walk from Pilcrow Cocktail Cellar, Sprout & Pour Juicery + Cafe, Square One Goods Co., Urban Standard, The Collins Bar, The Atomic, John's City Diner, Bamboo on 2nd, El Barrio Restaurante, Paramount Bham, Carrigan's Public House. We're only a 10min walk from Railroad Park, Regions Field, The Pizitz Food Hall, the Financial District, and the Publix downtown. Ditch your car, you won't need it.
Morris Avenue will be Birmingham's own flavor of Royal Street, Beale Street, King Street, etc. in a few years, might as well get a sweet deal on it now.
Mercantile will be move-in ready in the Fall 2019, but pre-sales are going on now."
