A Birmingham developer is nearing completion on the first building of a large apartment development near the I-459/U.S. 280 corridor. Kore LLC announced this week that it has started the pre-leasing stage for the first building at 4700 Colonnade, a three-building, 215-unit multifamily development currently being built at the intersection of Colonnade Parkway and Cahaba River Road.
