Lewter District in Downtown Huntsville

To be completed in three phases, the $50 million project is being developed and constructed by Emergent Properties and RNGD, which will open a local office within the district.

• The first phase of the development will involve construction of the Lewter District Townhomes, a community of 14 luxury residences on Washington Street. 
• Phase two, which started construction in October 2024, involves restoration and renovation of the historic Lewter Hardware Company building. Brick & Tin, a farm-to-table fast casual restaurant, bar and bakery, will occupy the 5,500-sq.-ft. first level and adjacent outdoor spaces.
• The third phase includes a new five-story, 75,000-sq.-ft. Class-A office building that will feature 4,500 sq. ft. of ground-floor retail.

“With forward-looking design that is rooted in its historic context and a careful curated mix of uses, the Lewter District builds on the inherent strength of historic downtown Huntsville to further its standing as the live, work and play heart of the region.”

David Hecht, co-founder and manager of Emergent Properties
