Located in the center of historic Trussville, Trussville prings will be a scenic, traditional neighborhood on the banks of the Cahaba River. The 160-acre Brownfield development will be built on a former factory site, and will include 560 homes, as well as retail uses, parks and a swimming hole.
Both Main Street and the Cahaba River run through the center of the property, offering the chance to integrate the new development with the town’s historic fabric. The village center will be located directly on the riverbanks, with a central plaza featuring a riverfront restaurant and other commercial uses. Many of the existing factory buildings will be rehabilitated, providing historical architectural precedents to the development. The town center will be a gathering place for residents of Trussville and the region at large, with ample parking provided behind retail liner buildings.
Residential uses will include townhouses, apartments, mansions, live/work units and carriage houses, in order to accommodate the area’s wide range of homebuyers. Stately riverside houses and hillside mansions will take larger lots, while other homes will be built on smaller lots, in order to preserve the trees on site. Additionally, the areas with more delicate topography will be less densely developed, in order to preserve the site’s hillsides. Pedestrian walkways and bridges will also enable residents and visitors to enjoy the site’s natural features.
