The Avenue adds to more development in downtown Huntsville

With more construction in the downtown area, the newest story to come out is "The Avenue" by WHNT. The Avenue is being developed by Charlie & Sasha Sealy who also developed Belk Hudson Lofts. According to the article there will be 197 residential lofts & and retail space. The Avenue will join the quickly redeveloping downtown Huntsville scene which recently has included the Belk Hudson Lofts, the Publix shopping complex, The Artisan apartment complex, and the space of the former Holiday Inn downtown across from Big Spring Park, which is currently being turned into a mixed use development. We look forward to see how downtown Huntsville continues to be redeveloped. For more information on The Avenue please click the link.
