The Alabama Supreme Court Thursday let stand a lower court’s ruling to reject an injunction request involving the former Baptist Montclair hospital property in Birmingham.

At issue was an appeal by the 790 Montclair office property, which had sought a preliminary injunction against The Station at Crestline Heights, a $60 million, 277-unit apartment complex.

Back in 2021, The Station requested a “curb cut” or entrance to connect the Station’s property to Dan Hudson Drive South, to allow more than one entrance for emergency vehicles. The City of Birmingham approved the request.

But 790 Montclair said that violated a 2018 reciprocal agreement by Baptist Health System Properties by altering the sidewalk on Dan Hudson Drive South without 790 Montclair’s prior permission.

790 Montclair sought the injunction some seven months after the “curb cut,” according to court documents.

The Supreme Court, in its 15-page opinion, agreed with the trial court’s ruling that the 2018 agreement was never meant to restrict access to properties along the road.

Baptist Montclair, later Trinity Medical Center, has been the site of development over the last decade. The medical center closed in 2015 and relocated to a new facility – Grandview Medical Center – on U.S. 280.

A previous plan to develop the Trinity property was scuttled in 2018. Another plan was announced at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier this year, Avondale’s Redeemer Community Church announced it was working to acquire part of the old Trinity Medical Center campus for use as an expanded sanctuary.
