After purchasing the property, Millennial Bank sold the first parcel to Southern Care Internal Medicine in September 2020 for $950,000, with Millennial providing $760,000 in financing, according to public records.

The medical company is owned by Dr. Amy Bentley Illescas, who moved her practice from Greystone to 10 Meadowview Drive. The two-story building was built in the spot of the former Petruccelli’s restaurant and is also home to several other specialists.

The practice is open Monday-Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit totalcare280.net.

Millennial Bank

According to its website, Leeds-based Millennial Bank was chartered in 1997 as Covenant Bank, and the two merged in 2018. It is a full-service, locally owned and operated, locally managed, community-oriented institution.

“With roots in the Birmingham area for more than two decades, our relationships with our customers, employees and shareholders run deep,” the website said. “Our mission is to deliver quality financial services to our local friends and patrons in a manner reflecting the highest level of customer service and integrity.”

In October 2022, a ribbon cutting was held for the Millennial Bank location at 20 Meadowview Drive. This is the bank’s second branch and also now serves as the headquarters. This was the second parcel sold at the property and is 15,000 square feet, built in the space of the former Joe’s Crab Shack restaurant.

Lobby hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday with drive through hours extending to 5 p.m.
