RESIDENCES AVAILABLE FOR LEASE

With an eye on the future, the historic Webb Building traces its roots back to 1871, the same year the City of Birmingham was founded.

The fledgling city’s first spring well was dug at the intersection of 2nd Avenue and 20th Street, and it was against this backdrop that a modest three-story brick building was built.

Holding the corner, the masonry building bustled over the decades, home to enterprises ranging from barbershops, saloons, and jewelers to dentists, drugstores, and design firms. Shuttered since the 1980s, the building is back—fully reimagined and renewed with a thoughtful modern upgrade that builds on its classic frame and timeless features.

Second & 20th unites the former Webb Building with two neighboring structures to form a gracious mixed-use community at this storied site.

The renewed building leverages historic details for a warm and unfussy architectural update. Its notable bones provide a sophisticated, striking backdrop to minimal, contemporary architectural updates.
