Summary
By incorporating reclaimed materials that recall the industrial past of Birmingham’s bustling Parkside neighborhood, NBA adds an additional level of design and architectural interest to Foundry Yards, a multi-generational apartment development. The pair of five-story buildings located across from the 19-acre Railroad Park green space are within easy walking distance of the Rock Creek trails system, the Historic Business District, the Loft District, the University of Alabama Birmingham and Five Points South. Residents in the 268-unit complex of studio, one- and two-bedroom units can take advantage of a double height clubroom, co-working lounges, and a state-of-the-art fitness center which opens onto the resort style pool, landscaped courtyard, outdoor kitchens, grilling areas and two dog parks.
