The Cahaba Center at Grandview (formerly HealthSouth corporate headquarters and Grandview Corporate Park)) on U. S. Highway 280 in Birmingham was constructed in 1997 for the then-fast growing outpatient and rehabilitation services company chaired by Richard Scrushy. The $38 million facility occupies 200,000 square feet on a 103-acre site.

The architect for the project was Birmingham's CLJ Associates, Inc, though Scrushy himself was actively involved in the design. The headquarters, now known as Grandview Plaza, a 200,000 square-foot Class A office building, originally featured a private elevator for executives, a trophy room for Scrushy's awards and souvenirs, and a company store. Also on the campus is Richard M. Scrushy Conference Center (now the Cahaba Grand Conference Center) with room for meetings and events, the 66,000 square foot Riverpoint building, a 44,000 square foot distribution center, and the and the 19-acre tract of land contiguous to the corporate campus that includes the unfinished HealthSouth digital hospital containing almost one million square feet.

The entire campus, with the headquarters, conference center, and unfinished hospital was under contract to be sold to the Dallas-based Trammell Crow Company in June 2007 for $60 million, however, Trammell Crow backed out of the deal weeks later. In January 2008, the complex was sold to the Daniel Corporation for $43.5 million. A hotel and new office building are on the drawing board. In March, the Riverpoint building on the campus was sold to Nexity Bank to serve as that bank's headquarters and operations. In September, Trinity Medical Center filed a letter of intent to move from eastern Birmingham to the unfinished hospital.

In June 2009 Trinity released an economic impact study claiming that the proposed medical and office complex at the site (including the hospital, two medical office buildings, two hotels, retail stores, office buildings and parking decks) would cost $750 million in all and would provide 5,500 jobs by 2023 (including those relocated from Trinity's current location). The study projects tax revenues of $143 million for the City of Birmingham over the course of the project, not counting $55 million in tax incentives promised by the city.
