The Sheraton Apartments is a 107-foot tall, 131-unit apartment tower located at 2909 Highland Avenue in Birmingham. The 11-story, $1 million building was constructed in 1950 by the J. A. Jones Construction Company to designs by architect Horace Weaver. Nelson Weaver and Mark Hodo of the Hodo-Weaver Companies developed the project.
Originally the modern-style brick building consisted entirely of efficiencies and 1-bedroom apartments, accessed by a pair of elevators in the lobby. Each unit included hot and cold running water, lights and heat, as well as a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator. The large steel windows were provided with venetian blinds. They rented for $68-83 per month.
The east side of the building was extended into a row of seven shops facing Rushton Park with a terrace above. The top floor of the building was a six-room penthouse.
Currently the apartments range from studios to 3-bedroom units, furnished and unfurnished, renting from $460 to $1,500 a month. The apartments are managed by Kahn Properties.
