BIRMINGHAM, AL — Bayer
Properties announced the historic Pizitz
building will house a food hall on the ground floor. The Pizitz Food Hall will offer a curated
collection of local and regional flavors.
The re-imagining and $66
million renovation of the circa 1923 department store building began in 2015.
When complete, the iconic landmark in the heart of downtown Birmingham will
include 143 rental apartments, 11,000 square feet of modern temporary office
space, The Pizitz Food Hall, and an entertainment component in the basement.
“This architectural gem
means so much to the history of Birmingham, and we are delighted to be part of
the resurgence of downtown by repurposing this historic building,” said Jeffrey Bayer, president and CEO of
Bayer Properties.
“Our goal is to create an
environment that is a vibrant gathering spot for residents and visitors of
Birmingham. The Food Hall is a tremendous complement to the office space and
apartment homes that are part of the new vision, and help fulfill our
commitment to creating an urban village atmosphere.”

The Pizitz Food Hall will
feature innovative food and beverage options designed to showcase growing
culinary trends. Additionally, plans are for two full-service restaurants, an outdoor
seating and entertainment area and an interior bar.
Most significantly, the
Food Hall will also serve as an incubator for Birmingham’s up and coming chefs.
One of the stalls will rotate quarterly to feature a new and different chef.
“We have engaged local
food bloggers from What to Eat in Birmingham to help identify unique restaurant
concepts and best-in-class food entrepreneurs,” said David Silverstein, principal of Bayer Properties. “The Food Hall is
a wonderful way to support Birmingham’s talented chefs and create a fun and
interactive atmosphere in the heart of downtown.”
Rule Joy Trammel + Rubio has been hired as the architect for the Food Hall,
whose experience includes Krog Street Market in Atlanta, which is best known
for its communal feel and free-flowing layout.
The Pizitz Food Hall will
open concurrently with residential in Fall 2016. For more information visit www.bayerproperties.com/property/thepizitz.
