Patchwork Farms To Increase Residential Units

VESTAVIA HILLS, AL - the Vestavia Hills Planning and Zoning Commission approved an increase in the number of residential units allowed at the Patchwork Farms development last week. In addition to a planned hotel, developer Chris Reebels is planning to add 30 more luxury condominium units attached to the hotel.

A report by Vestavia Voice said the designs call for three floors of condos with the bottom floor used for retail space, attached to a hotel with a two-story parking garage next to it. Reebels said the luxury units will be between $750,000 and $1.2 million, and the development as a whole is roughly $40 million.

The commission approved the amendment to the site’s planned unit development at the Oct. 11 meeting, increasing the maximum number of units from 270 to 305, and also passed a second part to the amendment removing five existing single-family lots along Old Looney Mill Road from the PUD, as part of a lawsuit settled in May of this year.

The Vestavia Hills City Council will have to approve the measure before it can officially move forward.
