Renting Retail Space in Uptown (The Entertainment & Growth Engine)

Uptown is Birmingham’s primary economic "Neighborhood to Watch" in 2026. Following over $1 billion in recent investment, it has evolved from a stadium-adjacent strip into a massive mixed-use hub (Source: Forbes / Bham Now 2026). The landmark project for early 2026 is "The Star at Uptown," a $300 million redevelopment of the former Carraway Hospital site that is bringing hundreds of new townhomes and cottages to the district (Source: Bham Now, Jan 2026). 2026 is the year of "District Maturation." With the completion of several new hospitality and retail components, Uptown is serving as the northern anchor for the city's new "Vibrancy Gap" initiative. Investors are targeting the area for its high-density residential potential and its proximity to the Protective Stadium and Legacy Arena (Source: Forbes).
