The Hays Farm development in South Huntsville continued its progress and growth recently as ground was broken for a new upscale multifamily community called Liam at Hays Farm. Neither the cold nor the strong gusts of wind could deter anyone’s excitement for the new project headed by Houston-based Bomasada Group.

Mayor Tommy Battle kicked off the groundbreaking by thanking Bomasada President John Gilbert for the investment in the city and emphasizing the importance of growth in all areas of the city. “This is what is so important in making sure we see growth in every section of the city. We are looking forward to great things to come.”

Bomasada President and COO John Gilbert expressed the company’s excitement in being a part of the Hays Farm development. “Bomasada prides itself in selecting the best locations and designing the best multifamily projects in our prospective markets. We feel we have done that again with the Hays Farm development and we are excited to get started,” he explained.

“Hays Farm is a wonderful master plan development as it contains all of the best elements one looks for in live, work and play environments,” added Gilbert. “We are happy to join the new shopping center, Goodall Homes, Grissom High School and the various commercial projects.”

Gilbert also took some time to include specific details about the upcoming project. The Liam will be a 329-unit Class ‘A’ property that will include 1,2 and 3 bedroom apartments. It will be comprised of one four story building that will hold 299 units and 30 additional townhomes that will each contain three bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Those who become tenants of The Liam in 2023 can expect to take full advantage of a resort style swimming pool, zen area, office spaces, fitness center and even a dog park. A separate building will be installed for bicycle maintenance and repair.

City councilwoman Jennie Robinson explained how the new housing complex fits with the other developments at Hays Farm to revitalize South Huntsville. “In case you haven’t noticed, change is coming to South Huntsville,” she stated.

“It started with three new overpasses. We have the new shopping center with Publix opening yesterday. The Liam will complement the other 500 houses that are also being developed. Altogether, it will build the energy that will make it possible to bring new retail and commercial business and revitalize this area.”
