International Park

International Park is a corporate office park located between I-459 and Cahaba Lake, off of Acton Road in Hoover. International Park Drive is accessed primarily from Acton Road, with a secondary access from Old Rocky Ridge Road. International Park Place branches off of the main boulevard south of the lake.

The office park was developed in 1986 by Polar-Bek, a joint venture of Polar Construction and BE&K engineers. The $75 million project initially included plans for six buildings with a total of 600,000 square feet of office space.

The development is the site of five public art installations: "First Impression" by Merrill Stigge, "Lackawanna II" by Michael Bigger, "Man with Frog" by Michael Lucero, "Mia's Dance VIII" by Michael Todd, and "Untitled" by Jonathan Kirk.

IberiaBank bought the 2000 building in 2017 for $13.5 million. Shamrock Investments purchased the 1800 and 1900 buildings for $34.5 million in 2019.
