Developer puts finishing touches on Briggs Building in Birmingham

One of downtown Birmingham's most innovative redevelopments is wrapping up its final loose ends. The last of the businesses will move into the Briggs Building in November.

Fuller Central Park Properties gave new life to the historic building at the corner of Old Woodward Avenue and Maple Road. It added a third floor and filled in an adjacent parking lot with a 5-story addition.

Today the project features 42,000 square feet of Class A office space, 10,000 square feet of ground floor retail space and another 10,000 square feet of luxury apartments. It's a big step up from the 2-story office/retail building constructed in 1930. It's also an even bigger step forward that the entire structure is leased and occupied in this tough economy.

A 175-space structure behind the building replaces 165-space surface parking lot, helping create more density in the already vibrant downtown.

Office tenants that mainly consist of money managers and attorneys will occupy the second, third and fourth floors. Universal Watch and Tactical Alliance Group (commonly known as TAG) will occupy the ground floor retail space facing Old Woodward.
