The mixed-use structure is being developed by Bobo Development Group, Retail Specialists, and Boaz Ventures. Capstone Building Corporation has started construction on the development, which is designed and engineered by Williams Blackstock Architects.

“With Huntsville’s current and projected growth, this new project is breaking ground at a perfect time. Arcadia is coming to the market as Huntsville continues a population boom creating demand for housing. The retail and restaurant amenities that will accompany the residential units at Arcadia are ideal for someone that wants to live and work in a high-end development.”
