It looks like a little ray of sunlight is peaking through the cloudy real-estate forecast in Birmingham's Rail District. Three new deposits have gone down for units at The Districts Lofts within two weeks of an on-site model opening.
There are 24 units in a four-story, mixed-use building that represents the first phase of the project. Those lofts are above ground floor retail space and an underground heated parking garage.
The lofts are single-story homes with at least two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 10-foot ceilings. The units range in size between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet. Prices range from the upper $400,000s to the upper $700,000s.
The development at 275 S. Eaton Street is just south of Maple Road and a few blocks east of downtown in what was once Birmingham's industrial corridor. The project is a key part of turning the area into a walkable, mixed-use residential and commercial district. In recent years the old factory buildings have been converted to lofts and businesses as the city redeveloped the area.
The District Lofts first residents are set to move in later this year when construction is wrapped up. The second of the project's two phases will feature 23 units and begin after most of the first phase has sold out.
