This is the Headline yesterday and this morning in the Birmingham Business Journal, behind the paywall of course.
This drives me nuts. I have been trying to figure out what this could be about.
Maybe the Steam Plant and Steam Plant Plaza will come on line, or maybe the property on 1st Avenue S. between 16th and 17th Street across from RR Park is about to be redeveloped? Or just plain ole speculation.

I started a subscription to the BBJ just yesterday and read through the story. They essentially spoke with people at Children's Hospital, UAB, and real estate about projects in the area.
Basically new buildings at UAB that we've already heard of, nothing new. Children's spoke about trying to increase green space and spoke of "planning for the future" as far as facilities. Real estate folks basically just spoke about Publix, the new residential developments being completed that are already under construction, and the hotel that's under construction.
I too was very intrigued when I read the headline, but the story didn't really provide much more detail than we already know.
