Red Mountain Development President Robb Crumpton said his company will close this week on the purchase of the Terrace Court apartment building on 20th Street South, home to Dave’s Pub and Sipsey Tavern.

Working on a 12-month timeline, Crumpton said the finished product will include 40 high-end apartment units, a terraced space for a white-tablecloth restaurant and a 44-space parking deck adjoining the building for residents.

“We want this to be a catalyst to revitalize the area and push the whole Five Points South revitalization,” said Crumpton.

The building is currently half-occupied with apartment rental tenants, whose apartments will be renovated as leases expire, and retail tenants will stay put, he said. Four apartment units are already preleased.

Crumpton said the building is an even mix of one- and two-bedroom units and average rent will be $950 a month. Average unit size is 1,030 square feet.

Red Mountain Development believes there’s more to long-term value than short-term profit. Based in Birmingham, Alabama—and focusing on the Southeastern region—we specialize in townhouses, apartments, and condominiums. But more importantly, we specialize in developing property responsibly.

It’s an approach that starts with a commitment to building in communities where we’re welcome. It’s a philosophy built on a steadfast dedication to integrity—in everything from design, construction and materials to the way we conduct our business. It’s a mind-set that means there will be no unwelcome surprises—for our investors, our end users, or our prospective neighbors.

At Red Mountain Development, we’re not just building profitability. We’re building dreams. We believe it’s the future of quality multifamily development. At the very least, it’s the future of ours.

We have a great group of internet professionals and creatives in Birmingham and it’s a shame that many of them are having a hard time getting work while hacks are being imported to the city to consult with our businesses. Now, don’t take this the wrong way, I have plenty of work to do and love the people that I work with but this is just ridiculous. I don’t have enough digits to count how many times over the past few years that “intelligent” business people decide to use firms from outside the city rather than pump dollars into the local economy.

There are fantastic firms locally that I know personally, Cayenne Creative, Scout Branding, Provenance Digital, & Intermark not to mention countless others that I know I am forgetting. (Sorry guys!)

So come on Birmingham businesses, support your local firms! They will work hard for you and probably use your services down the road.

One other thing, many of the folks from the “Big Firms” out of state, put crappy people on your account because they don’t think very highly of you.

The founding Triangle team was looking for a firm that could understand their business and create a website that would talk specifically to their customers.  Created quickly, the website serves as a customer contact point for their services.  In the future, the site will expand to encompass lead capture and customer engagement technologies that are proven to grow business opportunities through technology.

Financial institutions and the customers they serve are the foundations of our communities and their local economies. Community Banks are experiencing numerous obstacles that include tight credit climates, capital constraints, pressure from competitors and increasing regulatory oversight which has negatively impacted their ability to address the needs of their customers.

Triangle Financial Advisors is a resource that was designed to bridge the gap between community bankers and the needs of their customers in order to provide viable financial solutions for both. Our business model was developed by listening intently to the concerns of community bankers and developing products and services to address their changing needs. Our partners, utilizing over 50 years of experience in the financial industry, have the knowledge and resources to find the solutions YOU, community banks and their valued customers, need today.

We have been working on interactive projects since essentially its popular birth (around 1995) and the one constant has been change. I like to tell stories about the first time I sliced an image or not having layers in Photoshop, it blows the newbie’s away but I tell it over and over to reinforce the concept of change because it never ends. You have to keep up.

Change is frustrating and tiresome, so they come to someone like us and ask the general question “How do we make it better?”

I always counter with this question in return, “What is your goal?”

They are often taken aback because they haven’t thought about a goal. Most think of a website as a two dimensional product like a brochure or a printed ad but the beauty of the web is that it has many layers, many facets and the goal can be so different for each client.

I have often said that with enough time and money anything can happen on the web but unless there is a goal and that goal is met, nothing was accomplished.

My advice is that before you ask the question, set the goal and make sure you measure the success toward that goal. A good partner will help with all this, our team will have done their job and that is to make you happy.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and hopefully this was helpful.
