MOORESVILLE– Monday, May 6 marked a significant milestone as Rochford Realty & Construction Co., Inc. and Land Innovations, LLC solidified their commitment to shaping the future of north Alabama by signing a contract for a transformative project that lies between Huntsville and Decatur. This strategic partnership signifies a monumental step forward as both entities unite to embark on an endeavor poised to establish a gateway to north Alabama while preserving the cherished traditions of Mooresville.
Spanning 411 acres at the crossroads of I-65 and I-565, this visionary project represents a bold commitment to sustainable growth and community enhancement. Rooted in a deep respect for Mooresville’s heritage, the initiative aims to celebrate the area’s rich history while propelling it into a dynamic future.
At its core, the project is a testament to scale and ambition, with projections indicating an impressive outcome: over 3,500 meticulously designed residential units and 200,000 square feet of commercial space, reflecting an estimated valuation of $2.2 billion upon completion. What sets this development apart is its implementation of New Urbanist designs, placing emphasis on the human element. By prioritizing walkability, mixed-use spaces, and community interaction, the project promises to cultivate a vibrant, people-centered environment.
“We are thrilled to announce the signing of a contract for this landmark property, solidifying our commitment to shaping the future of northern Alabama,” stated Trey Rochford, Vice President of Administration at Rochford Realty & Construction Co., Inc. “Yesterday, we had the privilege of finalizing the agreement with Lawrence McCrary whose insight and dedication to the community have been invaluable throughout this process.”
David Horwath, President of Land Innovations, LLC, echoed this sentiment, saying, “Together with Rochford Realty &
Construction Co., Inc., we are charting a new course for sustainable development that honors the past while embracing the future. This project represents a unique opportunity to establish a lasting legacy that resonates far beyond its physical footprint. Leveraging the lessons learned from our 8 years of development in Stephens Valley, Nashville, TN, we are committed to creating communities that not only thrive economically but also enrich the lives of their residents.”
“For me and my sister, Margaret Anne Crumlish, being a 5th generation Mooresville family means that this area is not only where we live, it means we have a responsibility to maintain what makes it special,” said Lawrence McCrary. “Finding likeminded developer partners who bring an expertise in land planning, placemaking, architectural design, and incorporating surrounding nature has enabled us an opportunity to grow the surrounding area the right way: honoring the craftsmanship that came before us while building for future generations to come.”
As the project unfolds, Rochford Realty & Construction Co., Inc. and Land Innovations, LLC remain steadfast in their commitment to transparency, community engagement, and environmental stewardship. By fostering open dialogue and collaboration with local stakeholders, the partners aim to ensure that the project continues to reflect the aspirations and values of Mooresville and its residents.
