ST. LOUIS | 21st & Locust | 29 FLOORS | -FT

[Chris Stritzel]

A 29-story, up to 290-unit, mass-timber and concrete apartment building was proposed as part of a 5-component development in Downtown West. The developer is the AHM Group, a smaller local development firm that's been ramping up on the project side of things recently. The architect is Korb and Associates of Boston and Trivers of St. Louis.

The building will include ground floor retail and restaurant space, a 7-story parking podium with space for 350+ cars, a 7th floor restaurant and amenity deck, and of course apartments.

No timeframe on construction has been announced, but this project, like it's much smaller sibling properties, were preliminarily endorsed by the city's LCRA board today for a 10 year, 90% tax abatement.

The tower will rise just about a block north of Centene Stadium, which will be home to St. Louis City SC. This is also the fourth high-rise residential tower announced in the St. Louis area this year (the others being 50 South Bemiston, 10 South central, and Albion West End). This will also be the tallest building west of Tucker and east of Euclid in the City.

St. Louis is on a roll. It's not just the development of towers. The design of them has been very good, too.

I believe you meant west of Tucker, and not sure what you meant by west pine as that street runs east-west

Yea, I meant west of Tucker and east of Euclid. I wrote that post later on last night and made a mistake. Whoops. Post edited to reflect that.

Evening rendering. The 8th floor will include a restaurant.

I really hope this gets built and continues the slow infill and rise of the middle of the Central Corridor. Any solid update on it?

I know this was up for review at the LCRA meeting a month or two ago and I believe it passed. I also believe the tax abatement bill cleared the Board of Aldermen. I'm unsure of where it's at beyond that though, but all indications seem to be pointing towards this one happening. It's the largest component of this firm's development in Downtown West.
