Market District at Crabapple
This high-density, mixed-use development has been under construction in the city of Milton—located on the east side of Birmingham Highway and just south of Crabapple Crossing Elementary School—since early February, and the first three of the project’s eight buildings are set to open in the fall after a brief delay in construction in March due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
"Like everyone, it seemed like the world came to a grinding halt in March, but after we figured out all the implications, our construction got back on track ... and is steadily moving forward," said Brent Beecham, one of the developers of the project. "Truthfully, if you stand on top of our buildings and you look out over the town, you realized just how much changed while most people were sheltering in place."
The project, under construction by Market District Development LLC, includes office and restaurant space, a food hall with a mezzanine bar and 42 condo units, 80% of which are designated for active seniors age 55 and older. The development has a locally owned Starbucks and a jazz club/speakeasy under contract in Buildings 1 and 2, respectively, Beecham said. Retail and office space are still available, as are 15 condo units.
"Though many restaurateurs have had to focus on existing locations, we are now seeing new franchises express interest in our project," Beecham said. "Our chef curator is personal friends with many of the restaurateur chefs we have been working with, so we have no concern that once things have stabilized, we’ll see them add new locations or concepts in Market District Crabapple."
Space: 172,000 square feet (all buildings)
