Brookwood Village Mall Demolished for Redevelopment

0:00From Birmingham, this is your March 16th update. Workers started demolishing the 52-year-old Brookwood Village Mall this week to clear space for a major redevelopment project along U.S. Highway 280. Meanwhile, crews are transforming the old Belk store there into a $124 million orthopedic clinic for Andrew's sports. Medicine spanning 135,000 square feet. The mall had been empty for two years after its last stores closed, hit hard by the COVID lockdowns, tougher competition from other shopping spots, and the rise of online buying. Owners, fairway investments, and Pope and Lan bought the property in 2021 and revealed demolition plans last month, noting that much of the site no longer fits modern retail or mixed-use needs despite past upgrades. More specifics on the redevelopment will come later this year, with full tear-down set to ramp up in April after initial interior work wraps up. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor.
