Anthem House, Meridian Arts Club among 8 new building permits

Of the 11 new building permits approved for projects exceeding $1 million in the state, eight are for projects in Huntsville. And of those eight permits, five of them are for the new mixed-use development in MidCity known as Anthem House.

As well, a new music venue called Meridian Arts Club, a project by tvg hospitality (who brought us the Orion Amphitheater) was approved for a permit on its $3.2 million project.

Anthem House should be completed by 2025. (RCP Companies)

Anthem House is a new multi-million dollar mixed-use development located in Huntsville’s booming MidCity District—an area that’s expected to top $1.5 billion in private investments over the next five years. Once complete, Anthem House will include:

330 apartment units
35,000 square feet of creative office space
32,000 square feet of street-level retail space

RCP Companies anticipates completing the Anthem House development by early 2025.

Meridian Arts Club

The Meridian Arts Club is a new music venue and entertainment spot at 108 Cleveland Ave. N.W. near Furniture Factory Bar & Grill and just off Meridian Street, the space formerly occupied by A.M. Booth’s Lumberyard.

The project includes more than just the Meridian Arts Club. It also include:

Ferrovia, a fresh take on a sourdough pizzeria
The Kiln, a rough-and-ready bar and performance space
The mainstay of The Lumberyard remains: the 1920s dining rail car stationed in the central courtyard, preserved from the prohibition era.
