Fairway Investments and Pope & Land Real Estate have announced plans to begin demolishing more than half of the structures at Brookwood Village mall in early March 2026. The demolition will involve all buildings not part of the current redevelopment of the Andrews Sports Medicine facility, which was the former location of Belk. The companies say the building's age, configuration, and infrastructure make adaptive reuse impractical, and demolition will allow them to move forward with redevelopment plans that they expect to share more details about in Fall 2026.
Why it matters
The redevelopment of Brookwood Village, a long-standing retail hub in the Birmingham, Alabama metro area, represents a significant shift in the local commercial landscape. As shopping malls across the country face challenges, this project signals an opportunity to reimagine the site as a mixed-use development that could better serve the needs of the surrounding Homewood and Mountain Brook communities.

What they’re saying
“We thoroughly evaluated adaptive reuse, but the building's age, configuration and infrastructure ultimately make it impractical for the range of solutions we considered. Demolition allows us to move forward decisively, accelerate redevelopment once plans are finalized and salvage usable materials where possible.”
