The ongoing construction at Stadium Commons is set to enhance Huntsville's retail environment.
The Stadium Commons development near Joe Davis Stadium is on track for completion by year-end, featuring new retail and office spaces aimed at boosting Huntsville’s economy. With a $145 million budget, significant community engagement is anticipated from new tenants like Hattie B’s Hot Chicken. The project also includes a vital parking deck to improve accessibility, supporting local events. Future phases may introduce a hotel and housing complex, highlighting the area’s growth potential.
The Stadium Commons development near Joe Davis Stadium is slated for completion by the end of this year, with significant enhancements to the retail and office landscape in Huntsville. This $145 million project will feature new tenants and amenities designed to invigorate the community and generate economic activity.
Leading the construction effort is Brasfield & Gorrie, which is expected to finalize the retail and office components by the end of the summer. Once construction is completed, tenant space build-outs will begin, resulting in a delayed opening for the businesses anticipated to occupy the new space.
Located off Memorial Parkway, the site previously housed the Hollywood 18 movie theater and the Century Plaza office complex. First announced several years ago, the project has now reached a significant milestone, with the developer, Parkway Vesta, LLC, working alongside Crunkleton Real Estate to lease out the retail space.
Crunkleton Real Estate has reported substantial interest from potential retail clients eager to establish a presence in north Alabama. While specific tenant details remain undisclosed, community anticipation is high regarding the influx of new businesses that will contribute to Huntsville’s vibrant economy.
In addition to retail space, the Stadium Commons development will feature a parking deck capable of accommodating 408 parking spaces. Of these, 300 spaces will be leased by the city for $10.5 million to facilitate events at both John Hunt Park and Joe Davis Stadium. This strategic move is expected to enhance accessibility for visitors and cater to heavy foot traffic in the area.
Looking ahead, future phases of the Stadium Commons project may include the addition of a hotel and a multifamily housing complex, further enriching the area around the stadium.
Brasfield & Gorrie is also undertaking various other projects in the Huntsville area, with 10 different permits issued, totaling nearly $52 million. This includes a new office and warehouse facility dedicated to aerospace services at Cummings Research Park, as well as a separate $25 million office building being constructed at Redstone Gateway, adjacent to Redstone Arsenal. Furthermore, the Alabama School for Cyber Technology is set to receive a new gym by early next year, reinforcing the city’s commitment to educational growth.
The area surrounding Stadium Commons sees an estimated 120,809 vehicles on a daily basis, positioning it strategically near residential neighborhoods and Downtown Huntsville. This high volume of traffic underscores the importance of the project in catalyzing local economic development.
Among the new tenants expected to open is Nashville-based Hattie B’s Hot Chicken, which will make its Huntsville debut within Stadium Commons. This popular eatery will occupy a 2,800 square foot standalone building and is projected to open its doors in late 2025, adding to the culinary diversity in the area.
As the Stadium Commons project approaches completion, it promises to revitalize the vicinity surrounding Joe Davis Stadium while creating new opportunities for retail growth and community engagement in Huntsville.
