An Experiential Mixed-Use Development

Project SummaryThe subject is currently a Super-Regional Center Mall totaling 928,550 SF of net rentablearea located on a 102-acre site situated at the intersection of Research Park Boulevardand University Drive west of Huntsville’s downtown. The mall is currently anchored bySears and JC Penney.

The Madison Square Mall was once a regional shopping destination serving a largepopulation base inside the city and the surrounding counties. Over time, the quality ofcommercial uses in this corridor has suffered from disinvestment as new locationsthroughout the metropolitan region have grown and captured a larger share of newinvestment. While the corridor continues to serve the expanding population andemployment center, the inherited pattern of large, single use businesses surrounded bysurface parking lots has limited creative and integrated redevelopment.

Background

A staid 1980s mall and its surroundings will be razed and in its place a $400 million, 120-acre urban destination will be created—located at the entrance of the second largest R&Dpark in the U.S., in Alabama’s fastest-growing metropolitan area. At MidCity, a finelybalanced mix of uses will surround parks, plazas, and walkable streets. In all, visitors willfind up to 340,000 square feet of street and convenience retail, dining, andentertainment; 156,000 square feet of office space; 900 residential units; and 120 hotelrooms, adjacent to the only activated adventure park in the Tennessee Valley. The carefularrangement of uses, both vertically and horizontally, allows boutiques and various formsof dining to coexist at MidCity with parking platforms, office space, entertainment andlarge-format retailers.

MidCity Vision

How the millennial and 21st century knowledge worker wants to live, work, stay and play

MidCity Video link:https://vimeo.com/169914948password – createthefuture21

MidCity is planned as an 18-hour, urban district that focus on enhanced quality-of-life and attractions for Huntsville residents while integrating regional destinationsinto a true live, work, play district. MidCity will create a new catalyst forreinvestment in west Huntsville’s University Corridor and Cummings Research Parkby adding a significant amenity to the existing employment centers and surroundingneighborhoods and redeveloping the site in a way that is financially resilient andresponsive to the emerging market for the next generation in Huntsville.

To achieve this, the plan identifies a series of distinct precincts and neighborhoodsdesigned to create great streets and neighborhood park spaces with an emphasis onthe pedestrian environment. Specific themes include:

A. Create social places including a restaurant and cafe district focused on regionaland local chefs and a community park focused on active recreation and regionalentertainment venues.

B. Health and wellness drives the structure of the physical plan and the selectionof public and private businesses, public spaces and commercial operations.

C. Architecture should reflect a unique sense of place that has grown over time.D. Reinforce connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods and now-segregated uses

such as the Cummings Office and Research Park, The University of Alabama atHuntsville and Oakwood University.

E. Mix uses to create activity clusters 18 hours a day for residents, businesses andvisitors.

F. Create a “5 bar” wireless community throughout.

Urban Architecture & PlanningMidCity engaged Pittsburg, PA based Urban Design Associates (UDA), world renowned urban planners and architects to master plan anddesign and guide the development character.

The MidCity built-environment incorporates simple forms, authentic materials, diverse building character and human scale public spaces

A. These design guidelines are created for the MidCity Urban Renewal Plan, located within the City of Huntsville. The organizationincludes a form-based code to establish block and building relationships but includes additional information about the character ofarchitecture and the landscape, resulting in a comprehensive Design Guidelines.

B. This approach provides more guidance on building form and public space creation in concert with existing zoning requirements. Whileconventional zoning relies upon land use designations as the primary determinant of site development and building envelopestandards, this approach emphasizes and prescribes the form of buildings and their location on a development site.

C. The MidCity Regulating Plan establishes Development Areas with their own character and rules. Some Development Areas are auto-oriented retail destinations. The Mixed-Use Core is a pedestrian-dominant district with mixed-use buildings and urban designstandards, including minimal build-to zones for building placement and detailed attention to the design of streets and public spaces.The Neighborhood Zone has rules that guide the creation of walkable residential neighborhoods, very different from the auto-oriented development areas in the plan.
