Constellations are beautiful in terms of what meets the eye, while also holding infinite celestial bodies yet to be seen or explored.

We love our space metaphors in the Rocket City, and it’s hard to find a more aptly dubbed place than Constellation Huntsville, an apartment community just off Memorial Parkway that’s within one small step to the city’s soon-to-come skybridge.

Read on for more about this special place and why you will want to make it home, especially if you like being close to the action and first to discover the latest developments in our growing city.

Coming soon: A skybridge next door

Constellation is positioned adjacent to our next big thing: It’s all systems GO for a cool new linear park along Pinhook Creek that will transform this downtown corridor while connecting to another energized part of the city, the Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment area.

All of this has been about 25 years in the making. In early October, the City of Huntsville formally agreed with the Federal Highway Administration and the Alabama Department of Transportation to secure $47.3 million in federal grants for the Pedestrian Access and Redevelopment Corridor along Pinhook Creek. More on the PARC project here.

Everyone’s been buzzing about one part of the project—the skybridge, a 1,400-foot cable suspension pedestrian bridge that will cross from downtown over Memorial Parkway southwest toward Lowe Mill.
