Downtown Birmingham’s Historic Land Title Building Sold for $2.9 Million
Birmingham, AL – The Land Title Building, a notable structure situated at the corner of 6th and 20th Street North, has been sold for $2.9 million. The transaction was completed by Land Title Partners, LLC, a Tennessee-based entity, and marks a significant milestone in the downtown Birmingham real estate market.
Constructed in the 1940s, the building showcases Greek Revival architecture designed by the esteemed Birmingham architecture firm Warren, Knight, and Davis. Its aesthetics are characterized by a combination of Alabama limestone and marble, contributing to its historical significance within the city. The four-story structure comprises a total area of 31,000 square feet and is currently 84% occupied with various tenants, including:
- Jaffe & Erdberg
- Parnell & Parnell Law
- Land Title Co.
- Sydney May Engineering
- Sheffield & Lentine
The sale of the Land Title Building is indicative of a broader trend in Birmingham’s commercial real estate landscape. Recent activity includes the acquisition of the Birmingham City Board of Education building by the owners of the Tutwiler Hotel, which suggests a revitalization and repurposing of key properties in the area. Additionally, the Birmingham City Board of Education plans to relocate its headquarters to 2101 6th Avenue North, just one block away from its former location near Linn Park.
Real estate experts are observing how these transactions could influence local business dynamics and property value trends. With the Land Title Building being a significant part of Birmingham’s architectural heritage, its sale raises questions about future development approaches in downtown. The involvement of Land Title Partners, LLC, a firm outside Alabama, could indicate growing interest from out-of-state investors in Birmingham’s real estate potential.
Casey Howard from Harbert Retail represented the seller, Land Title Building, LLC, a segment of the Sixty West company, in the transaction. This representation and the buyer’s interest might signify a strategic shift in how historical properties are managed and revitalized in line with modern commercial needs.
