Relocation
In 2007 Trinity announced that they were planning to relocate to a more accessible site. Their original plan was to construct a new $315.8 million facility on the site once slated for the Falls at Grants Mill shopping center off I-459 at Grants Mill Road near Irondale. Other sites in Leeds and at Liberty Park were also under consideration. The City of Birmingham requested to work with the hospital to find a site within the city limits, but was initially unsuccessful. The City of Irondale purchased the 154 acres from the state for $6.7 million in May 2007 to lease back to Trinity for the hospital's campus. The city's attorney said Trinity is bound by contract to pay that back in the form of lease-purchase payments. Trinity won state approval to build at the Grants Mill site in May 2008.
On September 30 2008, Trinity filed a letter of intent with the state health board to relocate to the former HealthSouth digital hospital on U. S. Highway 280 instead of building at the Grants Mill site, which had been chosen by the hospital's previous owners. The City of Birmingham offered $55 million in incentives. Community Health Systems plans to invest $205 million to buy and finish the hospital, and another $70 million to equip the new hospital. Community Health also announced plans to build a $90 million medical office building at the adjacent Cahaba Center at Grandview development. Brookwood Medical Center and St Vincent's Health System, along with Select Specialty Hopsitals, had opposed Trinity's move to Highway 280. Hearings before an administrative law judge began in late September 2009, leading to an advisory opinion that went before the State Certificate of Need Review Board. After clearing all the legal hurdles, construction on the Grandview Medical Center began in 2013 and it opened in October 2015.
