The Greater Birmingham Association of Home Builders broke ground for a new headquarters building in International Park in Hoover today.
The association for more than 10 years has been leasing space in the Alabama Associated General Contractors building off Interstate 459 on Grantswood Road in Irondale and is ready to build its own place, said Joshua Dean, president of the home builders group.
The new two-story headquarters will be about 9,800 square feet on 2.3 acres in International Park, said Cody Byrom of Byrom Building, the company that sold the land to the home builders group and will be handling construction of the new headquarters.
Today’s groundbreaking was attended by numerous elected officials, including Hoover Councilmen John Lyda and Mike Shaw, Jefferson County Commissioner Steve Ammons, state Sen. Dan Roberts, state Rep. Juandalynn Givan, state Rep. Jim Carns, and state Rep.-elect Susan DuBose.
Construction of the new headquarters building is expected to take 10 to 12 months, Dean said. “We want a ribbon cutting next summer,” he said.
