Apparently, there were not too many NIMBYS/Shit-disturbers to show up at the Town Hall. So far, a really good sign this project could happen. NIMBYS in this neighborhood have killed a many solid projects in the past.

An overflow crowd listened Monday night to a developer and an architect describe their $130 million project to build a 36-story apartment building in the Central West End.
The project, called One Hundred, is proposed for the parking lot at North Kingshighway and West Pine Boulevard.
Alderman Joe Roddy, whose 17th Ward includes the project’s site, arranged the meeting for the public to hear from Eli Ungar, founder of the developer, Mac Properties, and Juliane Wolf, design principal at Studio Gang, the architect.
Ungar and Wolf provided the crowd of more than 100 people at the Schlafly branch library their views on how the 305-unit apartment tower would affect the St. Louis neighborhood.
Wolf said the building’s scallop-shaped facade would provide each apartment with lots of daylight and ventilation. Ungar said he believed One Hundred’s strikingly modern design would impress people in the future the way the neighborhood’s old buildings were revered now.
