Cahaba Village is a mixed use retail and shopping center located on the former dirt pile site on U.S. Highway 280 at Green Valley Road. Developed by Bayer Properties, it is anchored by a 50,000 square-foot Whole Foods Market which opened in February 2007. The 15-acre development contains 45,000 square feet of retail space, two outparcels, and 22 residential condominiums, developed independently by Arlington Properties and marketed at between $470,000 to $580,000.

The project was designed by CMH Architects with Nimrod Long & Associates handling the landscape plan. It is envisioned by the developer as a sibling of Mountain Brook's historic commercial villages, with "a design and atmosphere similar to that of Mountain Brook Village and English Village."1

Brice Building Company constructed the $25 million development which included a reconfiguration of Green Valley Road's intersection with Highway 280, as well as moving an existing water main and burying an existing drainage ravine in a culvert. The relocation of the intersection was at the center of a lawsuit between Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills while rezoning for the proposed shopping center spurred opposition from neighbors.
