Lane Parke of Mountain Brook Village is a proposed 27-acre, $200 million commercial, office and residential development planned for a 27-acre site near Mountain Brook Village. The owners of the property, which includes the Mountain Brook Shopping Center (1955) and Park Lane Apartments (1942), are Rele Evans and his son John, incorporated as "Evson, Inc."
MVE & Partners of California has completed master planning for the proposed development, assisted locally by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood. The proposal calls for phased construction, coordinating with the Watkins Brook Flood Hazard Mitigation Project being planned by the City of Mountain Brook to reduce the risk of damage caused by flooding of nearby Watkins Brook. The first phase would include space for retail tenants of the shopping center whose businesses would otherwise have been disrupted by the flood mitigation project. Ultimately the center will have 217,000 square feet of retail and commercial space accessed from pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and plazas, centering on a new "main street" at the center of the site. Ken Findley and Retail Specialists, Inc have been contracted to target local, regional and national retailers to fill the other available spaces.
The project's 1,200+ parking spaces will include street-side parking, parking lots and covered parking. Automobile access to the property would be cut from the current 12 points to five. The proposal includes a 75-room boutique hotel and 45,000 square feet of office space above the shops. The final phase of development is set to include a residential component of condominiums, town houses and/or apartments.
The project plan is subject to approval by the city's planning commission, city council, and architectural review board.
