The Pepper Place Complex is the focal point of the Lakeview District. Formerly the Dr. Pepper Syrup Plant and Bottling Company, the complex is a group of seven buildings totaling more than 227,000 square feet. After extensive renovation, the complex currently houses Birmingham’s premier design center as well as a Farmer’s Market, theater, and several resataurants. The Pepper Place Complex is among Birmingham’s 24 commercial revitalization districts that are subject to design review protection. This highly visible renovation project has been celebrated in several major magazine articles and a CNN television feature.
