MOORESVILLE, Ala. — A $2.2 billion development is set to take place between Huntsville and Decatur. Rochford Realty & Construction Co., Inc. and Land Innovations, LLC have formalized their collaboration on a significant project in North Alabama. The partnership aims to develop a 411-acre site at the intersection of I-65 and I-565.
Upon completion, it is expected to feature over 3,500 residential units and 200,000 square feet of commercial space. The development prioritizes walkability and mixed-use spaces to create a dynamic environment. Trey Rochford, Vice President of Administration at Rochford Realty & Construction Co., Inc., expressed excitement about the project and its significance for northern Alabama in a press release.
David Horwath, President of Land Innovations, LLC, echoed this sentiment, saying, "Together with Rochford Realty & Construction Co., Inc., we are charting a new course for sustainable development that honors the past while embracing the future. This project represents a unique opportunity to establish a lasting legacy that resonates far beyond its physical footprint. Leveraging the lessons learned from our 8 years of development in Stephens Valley, Nashville, TN, we are committed to creating communities that not only thrive economically but also enrich the lives of their residents."
1818 Farms co-owner Lawrence McCrary also shared his thoughts on the new development. “For me and my sister, Margaret Anne Crumlish, being a 5th generation Mooresville family means that this area is not only where we live, it means we have a responsibility to maintain what makes it special,” McCrary said. “Finding like-minded developer partners who bring an expertise in land planning, placemaking, architectural design, and incorporating surrounding nature has enabled us an opportunity to grow the surrounding area the right way: honoring the craftsmanship that came before us while building for future generations to come.”
