MidCity District is strategically located at the gateway of Redstone Arsenal and Cummings Research Park, surrounded by over 80,000 government and contract employees. Cummings Research Park is the second largest research park in the United States and is the headquarters of the defense, aerospace, and tech workforce in the Southeast.
Built on land formerly occupied by a regional mall, MidCity District’s footprint implements forward-thinking urban design. Fitness, recreation, public gathering spaces, walkable streets, inviting architecture, vibrant amenities, and intimate thoroughfares form our 140-acre MidCity District.
MidCity District offers a balanced mix of uses connected by urban plazas and walkable streets. The District is adjacent to a 40-acre, city-owned park that integrates a kayaking lake, the award-winning Orion Amphitheater, TopGolf, an outdoor climbing area, and a one-mile biking and running trail. This trail will connect to the City of Huntsville’s Master Greenway Plan, the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s campus expansion, and the trail system in Cummings Research Park.
Once complete, the development will include 350,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment space; approximately 400,000 square feet of high-tech office space; 1,600 residential units; and approximately 650 hotel rooms. Building on the reputation of the City of Huntsville, MidCity is a workforce recruitment tool for North Alabama and serves as an entertainment and innovation powerhouse for locals and new residents.
Transforming economic and creative opportunities in North Alabama.
In this region, we have stories, music, art, and inventions that have touched people from our planet and beyond. Huntsville and its world-renowned scientists were a central hub of NASA and advanced space exploration technology beginning in the 1950s. During this space boom, a regional concentration of musicians and artists, from Aretha to the Allman Brothers, were redefining the Tennessee Valley at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. There is nothing like the spirit of innovation in our region.
