The City of Valor on three county lines
Leeds steel buildings across three counties
Leeds sits along Interstate 20 and reaches into Jefferson, St. Clair and Shelby counties. RBC Buildings serves Leeds from our Blountsville office.
We have one office, in Blountsville. We do not have an office in Leeds.
A cement town with a folk legend
Leeds was founded in 1877 and incorporated on April 27, 1887, and it first housed workers and families of the Lehigh Portland cement plant. It is nicknamed the City of Valor because of three Medal of Honor recipients.[2]
The city covers about 23 square miles along the Little Cahaba River, and it spans three counties. Land that covers three counties may mean different permitting offices depending on your parcel, so check first, then talk with us about the building.[2]
Leeds details
Leeds property questions
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
My Leeds property is in St. Clair County. Does that matter?
It matters for permitting, because the county for your parcel decides which office you contact. RBC serves the area either way. Call us with your questions.[2]
Is a pole barn a good fit for a lot near the Little Cahaba River?
Land near water needs careful site planning, and low areas can be a concern. Ask the county about your parcel, then we can discuss the building.[2]
Can I build a business space near I-20 in steel?
Many businesses along interstate routes use steel for flexible space. The design depends on use and approvals.[2]
Are barndominiums used on larger Leeds parcels?
On larger parcels, a barndominium is one option. Utilities and zoning decide whether it works for you.[2]
