Here's a new article on the new 7-story building proposal. So this makes nearly new three hundred market-rate units for DeBaliviere Place.

Apartment building proposed for DeBaliviere area

A seven-story, $29 million apartment building might replace a parking lot in the DeBaliviere Place neighborhood in St. Louis just north of Forest Park.
Proposed are 165 apartments wrapped around three floors of parking at 5510 Pershing Avenue. The site, currently a parking lot, is owned by an affiliate of Asprient Properties of St. Louis.

The St. Louis Preservation Board voted Monday to approve Asprient’s project, subject to review of the developer’s final plans. Board approval was required because the site is within the city’s Central West End Historic District, which covers an area north and east of the park.

As part of the design by Klitzing Welsch Associates, the building would have an exterior of brown and red brick, stone banding elements and fiber cement panels of gray and off-white. The city’s Cultural Resources Office noted that the building would be larger than its immediate neighbors but would still be compatible with other apartment buildings on Pershing.

The site is on the south side of Pershing between Union and DeBaliviere avenues.

Nearly directly across Pershing is the site of another Asprient project, also designed by Klitzing Welsch.

In May, the Preservation Board approved plans for a five-story building of 117 apartments on the site of a swimming pool and tennis courts at 5539 Pershing. Asprient recently acquired the site from an affiliate of Mills Properties. Plans for that project include building materials and a contemporary design similar to the latest proposal.

World Wide Technology - the largest African-American and minority owned firm in the nation with nearly $7-billion in annual revenues - is building a new HQs in suburban Maryland Heights (Westport Plaza).

Just two years after building a smaller 60,000sf HQs building about a mile away, WWT has grown so fast that its growth has necessitated a new office facility.

It is the largest free-standing private or public IT technology firm in Missouri by revenue.

Plans are to add 1,000 new workers to the local workforce of 3,000.

Overall, the project related to WWT's expansion is to cost around $95-million.

Get more information HERE.

Concept renderings:
-A 6-story, nearly 210,000 sf building overlooking a reconfigured Westport Plaza lake
-A 5-level, 763-car parking garage with a walkway to the main building
-Will be visibly prominent from I-270.

Another Central Corridor mixed-use proposal.

A St. Louis alderman, whose ward (district) includes much of the Central West End, tweeted out this rendering below.

The project will include "office, retail and residential' according to his tweet.

The six-story building will go up across the street from the CityWalk Whole Food's project, which is nearing completion.

More information is to come later as the proposal is under review.

If approved, an existing structure will come tumbling down to make room this project.

Here's a Downtown West/Union Station are project currently underway.

Quote:

Work began early this year to redo a 126-year-old brick warehouse built for drying tobacco as a 87 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Sherman Associates, a housing developer based in Minneapolis, hopes to complete the project at 1900 Pine Street in December.

Sherman Associates’ $10.5 million project, called Station Plaza, also uses state and federal low-income housing tax credits, which will allow the developer to offer below-market rents, according to the company. Monthly rents will be as low as $525 for a studio apartment.

Renovation of the six-story building near Union Station is obliterating offices put into the now-vacant building in the 1980s.

Liggett & Meyers Tobacco Co. completed the building in 1889 as a warehouse to dry chewing tobacco. According to documentation for the building’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the building had a key role in what was then the city’s thriving tobacco industry.

The apartment parking would be in the basement of 1701 Locust and in another building the New York-based real estate investor owns across the street. Also planned are a club room, a fitness room and streetscapes with new sidewalks and trees.
