Golden & Associates renovates Birmingham Water Works building as new headquarters

Renovation was recently completed at 2212 First Ave. South in Birmingham, Ala., to be Golden & Associates Construction's new headquarters.

Golden & Associates moved into the two-story, 10,000-sq.-ft. building in August. Ty Cole of Giattina Fisher Aycock of Birmingham was the project architect.

Golden & Associates was one of the first companies to move into the historical area and President Geoff Golden wanted to stay in the area because of its appeal and to be supportive of the downtown renaissance.

The company has renovated many of the other downtown historical buildings, including the old Chamber of Commerce building, which is now Jemison Flats lofts and commercial space; the AC Legg Spice Company Building, which is now luxury lofts; the Eubanks Building, which is now a private residence and office; and the Bebco Building, which is the current headquarters for the company.

Golden founded the company in late 1997 and currently has more than 40 employees.
