Lane Parke developers to break ground on apartment buildings

Now that financing has been secured for developers Daniel Corporation and Evson, Inc, Hoar Construction has been released to begin work on The Residences at Lane Parke, a 276-unit apartment community in Mountain Brook Village.

You should be able to see visible demolition of the old buildings in early to mid February, said Pat Henry of Daniel Corporation. Master site work like the removal of utility lines, relocation of sewer lines and bringing dirt on-site is happening concurrently to the demolition process. There will be no road closures during this phase of the Lane Parke project.

“It is extremely exciting to begin work on this amazing project,” said Dana Caudell, Daniel Corporation’s Director of Multi-Family Operations. “In addition to the many benefits the development will provide to the Mountain Brook community, The Residences at Lane Parke will also deliver exemplary luxury living to the area’s residents.”

The Residences at Lane Parke will feature a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. The design of each will be environmentally sensitive.

Resort-inspired recreation areas will include gardens, a pool, a clubhouse, community Wi-Fi and access to the new Woodland Park that will border Watkins Branch.

Like its predecessor, Park Lane apartments, The Residences will be located within walking distance of Mountain Brook Village retailers and Birmingham Botanical Gardens, as well as the remainder of the 28-acre Lane Parke development once it is completed.

Lane Parke will include the recently announced 100-room Grand Bohemian Hotel and approximately 185,000 square feet of commercial lifestyle retail and office space, both of which are scheduled for completion in 2014.

The Residences development has been designed by Atlanta-based Wakefield Beasley & Associates. Goodwyn Mills Cawood, Inc. is the project engineer. Construction financing for the project is being provided by First Commercial Bank.
