Maryland-based Berman Enterprises isn't moving forward with plans to transform the former Trinity Medical Center campus in Birmingham into an upscale mixed-use development.

Ben Berman, a partner at Berman Enterprises, confirmed to AL.com that his company has nixed the proposed project. He declined to provide additional comment.

Berman Enterprises had the hospital campus and surrounding property located off Montclair Road under contract. The property includes nearly a million square feet of former hospital buildings and about 79 acres.

Trinity Medical Center closed in 2015 and relocated to a new facility - Grandview Medical Center - on U.S. 280.

During an April interview, Berman said the company had "several months of due diligence" before deciding whether to purchase the property. As part of that, the medical buildings were inspected to determine what can be redeveloped.

He said he was looking for hoteliers, restauranteurs, retailers, residential developers and others to partner with on the project.

The concept for the property, dubbed Trinity Heights, included luxury apartments, for-sale residential condos, townhouses, office space, upscale hotel and retail and a complete luxury senior living community, offering independent living, assisted living and memory care.

Upscale entertainment venues were also being considered including a bowling concept or movie theater.

Berman Enterprises had developed conceptual plans for the proposed project.

Brad Edmonds, who lives in the Crestwood South neighborhood, where the hospital site is located, said he's positive the property will be developed sometime in the near future.

"It was an ambitious proposal to say the least - and maybe it wasn't the right time for a project of that scale, but I'm confident the property won't be sitting still for long," he said in an email. :The site is too well positioned not to be utilized so I'm hopeful a right-sized project will come to fruition that can turn the economic potential of the property into reality while also protecting the environmental assets the nearby neighborhoods enjoy. I have faith that something positive is still in store for the Trinity site."
