Hoover’s Stadium Trace Village’s 2nd phase could be complete by 2025

The developer of Hoover’s Stadium Trace Village has released plans for the development’s second phase, with a projected completion in 2025.

The plans are still subject to the Hoover City Council’s approval. Developer Broad Metro says the project incorporates a significant amount of green space and drainage into the project, as well as retail, entertainment and medical additions to the city landscape.

“We are committed to developing Stadium Trace Village in a way that benefits the entire Hoover community,” Broad Metro CEO William Kadish said. “Phase Two will provide new recreation opportunities, green space and retail options, while also preserving the natural beauty of the area. It will also clean up Scout Lake for the Trace Crossing residents…..We are confident that this project will be a success.”

Work began on the 44-acre mixed use Hoover development back in 2018.

The 33,625-square-foot mixed-use retail center, at 5220 Peridot Place just off Interstate 459, is home to several restaurants and shops. The existing development generates about $2.5 million in revenue for the city annually.

For the 82-acre addition, plans call for:

• A 50,000 sq.-ft. surgical hospital with 25 beds, along with 20,000 squarefeet of space for medical offices.

• A Golf Suites family entertainment center on the northeast side, with tiered golf range bays, a putting green and golf instruction.

• In the center, 120,000 square feet of low-traffic, single-tenant destination retail and dining space.

Other aspects planned include:

• 36 acres of green space for public use, and 18 acres between the Ridge and Scout Creek neighborhoods as forested area. Recreation paths in this section will be subject to approval of the Scout Lake and Trace Crossings Associations. No blasting will occur in the development of this project, according to the developer.

• A $2.25 million-dollar drainage system with five retention ponds located on land under contact to be purchased by Broad Metro above Scout Lake and along Scout Creek. The already designed water retention system will capture water, currently running under Interstate 459, and filter the sediment away, planners say.

• More than 1.5 miles of multi-use walking and bicycling trails connected to existing trails in the area, with educational observation areas, picnic spots, a meadowland and a community garden.

• A golf cart path connecting residential communities to Stadium Trace Village.

• Village Green, a 2.5-acre arts and entertainment venue including a greenspace with a children’s play area, a food and beverage area, an outdoor amphitheater and side stage.

Traffic flow will be aided by an extension of Peridot Place in the form of a two-lane country-style road with a 35 mph speed limit, developers say, which will connect to Brocks Gap Parkway. Overflow parking will be added, with a roundabout at the center of the property, and at Peridot Place and Marble Terrace.

The connection to Brocks Gap Parkway would happen in conjunction with an ALDOT plan for a new diamond exchange at I-459 and South Shades Crest Road, off Brocks Gap Parkway.
