Helena City Hall

The project consists of a new $15 million, 3-story, approximately 38,000 SF +/- municipal building for the City of Helena, AL. Located at the intersection of Hwy 52 W and Hillsboro Parkway in Shelby County, the building is a successor to the 30-year-old Helena Municipal Building and is the centerpiece of a new mixed-used, public/private collaboration - known as the Hillsboro Town Center - between the City of Helena and U.S. Steel Real Estate. The town center was developed as part of the "Helena Forward" initiative, which also includes the Helena Sports & Leisure Complex. U.S. Steel donated the land for the project - which was once a former mining operation - and coordinated the site’s infrastructure work. The new City Hall was designed in a Neo-Classical style with a projecting gabled portico supported by monumental columns. The building includes an open atrium Entry Lobby with a grand circular stair at the center. Ground floor space is provided for administrative offices, files, and conference rooms, as well as a 3,600 square-foot senior center. The 2nd floor houses the City Council Chamber, Mayor's office and other municipal departments. A 10,000 SF 3rd floor is being constructed and left unfinished for the City’s future expansion needs. A ceremonial groundbreaking for the project was held on May 13, 2024, and construction is scheduled to be complete in late Fall of 2025.
