SUMMARY:Let’s Build Birmingham II Returns With Focus on Real Estate Ownership\, Development and Generational Wealth (September 18 - 19)
DESCRIPTION:BIRMINGHAM\, AL — As redevelopment continues to reshape neighborhoods throughout Birmingham\, an upcoming two-day conference is looking to make sure everyday people have an opportunity to participate in that growth—not simply watch it happen. \nLet’s Build Birmingham II: The National Real Estate Development Conference will take place September 18–19\, 2026\, at Boutwell Auditorium in downtown Birmingham. \nNow in its second year\, the conference is expected to bring together hundreds of investors\, developers\, contractors\, builders\, entrepreneurs\, lenders\, real estate professionals and people who simply want to learn how to get started in real estate. \nThe central message behind the event is straightforward: ownership\, opportunity and generational wealth. \nAccording to organizers\, attendees will receive practical education on finding and purchasing land\, acquiring tax and auction properties\, building new construction\, understanding zoning and permitting\, securing financing and working with architects\, builders\, contractors and lenders. (Luma) \nParticipants will also learn about income-producing real estate strategies ranging from traditional development to furnished rentals\, Airbnb properties\, truck parking and group homes. Organizers say no previous real estate experience is required. (Luma) \n \nWhy This Matters for Birmingham \nWhat makes Let’s Build Birmingham particularly timely is what is happening throughout the city. \nBirmingham continues to wrestle with vacant\, abandoned and tax-delinquent properties while simultaneously experiencing new investment and redevelopment. The Birmingham Land Bank Authority was specifically established to return vacant and abandoned property to productive use\, reduce blight\, stabilize neighborhoods and encourage redevelopment. (Birmingham Land Bank Authority) \nThe City of Birmingham has also made neighborhood revitalization and affordable housing major priorities. Its 2026 legislative agenda calls for additional tools to return abandoned properties to productive use and help longtime residents remain in their communities as redevelopment occurs. (City of Birmingham) \nThat creates both an opportunity and an important question: \nWho will own the Birmingham of the future? \nThere are properties that need rehabilitation. There are vacant lots capable of supporting new construction. There are neighborhoods positioned for additional investment. And there are Birmingham residents who may have the desire to participate but don’t necessarily understand how to move from an idea to actually acquiring property\, obtaining financing\, navigating zoning and permits\, hiring contractors and completing a development. \nThat is where education becomes important. \nMoving From Consumer to Owner \nFor Birmingham’s Black community in particular\, conversations surrounding real estate can also be conversations about generational wealth. \nNationally\, the Black homeownership rate continues to trail the White homeownership rate significantly\, and historical barriers including redlining and discriminatory lending have contributed to today’s wealth gap. Birmingham itself has been at the center of recent federal action involving allegations of mortgage redlining in majority-Black neighborhoods. (The Washington Post) \nAt the same time\, Birmingham remains attractive to real estate investors because property can still be comparatively affordable relative to many larger American markets. \nThat combination makes it increasingly important for local residents to understand real estate not only from the perspective of buying a home\, but also owning land\, developing property and participating in the economic growth of their own neighborhoods. \nThe objective shouldn’t simply be watching outside investors recognize Birmingham’s potential before the people who already live here do. \nMore Than Classroom Education \nOrganizers say Let’s Build Birmingham II is designed to move beyond the traditional conference experience. \nAttendees can expect live development case studies\, ground-up construction education\, financing and lending workshops\, access to experienced builders and developers\, networking opportunities and real-world examples of redevelopment taking place around Birmingham.

SUMMARY:Built with Love: Dad & Daughter Edition Creates Space for Connection in Birmingham (April 18)
DESCRIPTION:In a time where schedules are packed and meaningful connection can often take a back seat\, STREAM Innovations is creating intentional space for something simple—but powerful: quality time. \nFollowing the success of its inaugural Galentine’s Day experience\, the organization is bringing back its Built with Love series with a special “Dad & Daughter Edition”—an event designed to strengthen bonds between fathers and daughters through shared\, hands-on experiences. \nA Different Kind of Experience \nSet for Saturday\, April 18 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.\, the event invites fathers\, grandfathers\, uncles\, mentors\, and father figures to step away from the everyday and lean into intentional\, one-on-one engagement. \nParticipants will take part in guided LEGO® building projects\, enjoy lunch together\, decorate cookies\, and capture the moment with a mini photo session—creating both memories and meaningful conversation along the way. \nAttendees can choose between creative LEGO® builds\, including a colorful hummingbird scene (which can also be transformed into a butterfly or tropical fish) or a panda family design that can be rebuilt as a penguin or orca whale. \nWhy This Event Matters \nAt its core\, Built with Love is about more than activities—it’s about intentional relationship-building. \n“After seeing the impact of our first Built with Love event\, we knew it was important to continue creating spaces like this\,” said Dr. Adrienne Starks\, Founder and CEO. “This series is about being intentional with our time and investing in relationships that matter.” \nIn communities across Birmingham and beyond\, conversations around youth development often focus on education\, access\, and opportunity—but events like this highlight another critical component: connection at home and within families. \nBy creating structured yet fun environments for fathers and daughters to engage\, STREAM Innovations is helping to reinforce confidence\, communication\, and trust—elements that have long-term impact well beyond the event itself. \nBuilding More Than Projects \nSTREAM Innovations has been committed to developing the next generation through hands-on learning since 2015\, focusing on Science\, Technology\, Reading\, Engineering\, Arts\, and Mathematics (STREAM). \nThe Built with Love series reflects that same mission—combining creativity\, learning\, and relationship-building into a single experience that benefits both youth and their families. \nNo prior building experience is required—just a willingness to show up and be present. \nEvent Details \nBuilt with Love: Dad & Daughter Edition\n📅 Date: Saturday\, April 18\, 2026\n🕒 Time: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM\n🎟️ Cost: $75 per adult-child pair\n➕ Optional add-ons available for siblings\n📍 Location: (Available upon registration) \nAdvance registration is required. \n👉 For more information or to register\, visit: streaminnovations.org\n📱 Follow STREAM Innovations on Facebook and Instagram for updates
