The redevelopment of the historic Ramsay-McCormack Building in Birmingham’s Ensley Business District began Oct. 1 with demolition underway of the original 10-story edifice.

Standing at the foot of the building with the sun shining brightly, city officials and business leaders announced that the demolished structure will be replaced with an office tower that will mirror the historic one, originally completed in 1929 and vacant since 1986.

“For decades, the Ramsay-McCormack Building symbolized Ensley’s thriving business district. Sadly, in more recent years, it has only signified blight,” said Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin. “That’s why I’m so excited about this project – the Ramsay-McCormack Building site will very soon symbolize revitalization in this cherished neighborhood. We will focus investment not in a building alone, but through a comprehensive plan in the community.”
