Master-planned Community Opens in Leeds
Master-planned Community Opens in Leeds
LEEDS, Ala.—The Grand Opening of Leeds’ newest community was held Tuesday, Aug. 17, at
Grand River located off of Rex Lake Road adjacent to Barber Motorsports Park. Leeds Mayor
David Miller performed the honor of cutting the ribbon to officially open the Model Home in
the master-planned community.
Developed by USS Real Estate, Grand River now offers new homes for sale starting in the
$300,000s with square footages ranging from approximately 1,500 to 2,900. The first phase of
Grand River is named Unali which means friend in Cherokee.
“Grand River is a special place where community and nature are front and center. This led us to
name the first neighborhood Unali to symbolize that this is a place to foster friendships,” said
Brian Sparks, Vice President at Ingram and Associates, the company handling the marketing
and sales for Grand River.
With homes built by Newcastle Homes, Unali is an enclave of 56 homes with a community park
and sidewalks. Future phases as well as a pool and clubhouse amenities are in the planning stages
of this 3,000-acre master-planned community. One of the most popular features of Grand River
is the nature trail system within the community. Residents have access to miles of woodland
hiking trails with creeks throughout the trail system. The developer plans to build a primitive
camping site for resident use. In addition, land within the community has been reserved for
building a future elementary school to serve Leeds.
