Park Tower

Park Tower is an 11-story, 110-unit condominium tower at 2717 Highland Avenue South. It was designed by Giattina Fisher & Company as Park Tower Apartments and completed in 1969. Shortly after opening as luxury apartments, the building was converted into Birmingham's first fee-simple condominium project. In addition to the residential units, the modern structure also has one commercial unit. The facility features a swimming pool, poolside club room, on-site salon, parking garage, full-time building manager, and on-site security service. In addition, first floor residents have over-sized terraces and 10-foot ceilings while the penthouses feature complete views of Vulcan Park, Sloss Furnace, and the Birmingham skyline.

Construction of the Park Tower commenced in November 1967. At this time its construction was to cost an estimated $2,750,000 to complete and featured 107 total units. The project team included: Brandon Crawford & Associates as architect, F. R. Hoar & Sons as general contractor, and First National Bank of Birmingham provided construction financing. The building was topped-out on June 29, 1968 and opened to residents in November 1968.
