Wildwood Centre South
Wildwood Centre South is the main section of the Wildwood Shopping Center located at 217-265 Lakeshore Parkway, to the west of the Wal-Mart Supercenter and across the parkway from Homewood Commons (originally Wildwood North). The 225,921 square-foot center is accessed from Wildwood Parkway and Wildwood Circle, and backs up to Shades Creek and the Wildwood Preserve. The eastern section of the complex is in the city limits of Homewood, while everything to the west of the 259 building is in Birmingham City Limits.
In 2005, the western section of the shopping center within Birmingham's corporate limits was demolished.
The shopping center was acquired by an affiliate of the TPA Group of Atlanta, Georgia for $12.05 million in early 2016. They sold it to a group affiliated with CRS Realty of Houston, Texas for $17.8 million in October 2019. The 259 Building, formerly housing Office Max, was bought separately by a New York City-based investment group for $3 million.
