Avondale Mills Shopping Center (formerly Avonwood Plaza) is a shopping center on the 4400 block of 4th Avenue South in East Avondale. The building has a partial lower floor on the back end facing the intersection of 44th Street and 3rd Avenue South. A Birmingham Police Department substation was once located in that space.

In the 2000s the property was owned by Louis and Helen Boohaker. In 2012 it was transferred for a nominal $1 to Avonwood Properties LLC, which shared an address with Boohaker & Associates contractors.

In 2016 the center was purchased for $700,000 by Avondale Mills LLC, an affiliate of Cahaba Realty & Property Management Co., which includes Payne Baker and Blake Millican, and which had previously purchased and redeveloped the Shoppes of Crestwood. They announced that new tenants coming to the center would include Sheppard's Pet Supply and City Vision.

Avondale Mills LLC sold the property to BHH Realty LLC, also led by Baker, for $2.75 million in 2021. Cahaba began to market the spaces in the shopping center for sale as "retail condos".
