The Venue at the Ballpark is a 255-unit luxury condominium development in downtown Birmingham, Alabama. The facility consists of five stories of wood framing over two stories of concrete parking. The Venue is built in a 1.8-acre site consisting of pinnacle rock formations. This challenge made the foundation design critical to the project. Subsurface Investigation The Venue is located along a contact between the Ketona
