Montelena was a proposed $50 million, 7-story condominium development to be located on a 3.5-acre site owned by the Mazer family on Hollywood Boulevard in the Redmont neighborhood of Birmingham near Mountain Brook Village. The site, which overlooks Highway 280, is part of a narrow spur of Birmingham which includes Lane Park on the border between Homewood and Mountain Brook. The site was formerly occupied by PT's Sports Grill and Mexico Lindo restaurant.
The 49-unit project was planned by Inkana Development, represented by Slade Blackwell with Williams-Blackstock Architects creating the design. Inkana was partnering with Mazer in the development. It was originally proposed as a 57-unit, 11-story tower, but scaled back to 7 stories. Each unit would have had two-bedrooms and two baths, starting at 1,500 square feet and ranging in price from $550,000 to $1.3 million, with the largest penthouse going for $2 million.
B. L. Harbert International was set to begin construction in October 2006, but sales were disappointing and plans were put on hold. In January 2007 Inkana took down their signs and relocated their sales office form the site. Those who put contracts on condominium units will be released, and the developers are seeking alternate uses for the site.
