The Beaumont Telephone Exchange Building Redevelopment into Apartments the the Midtown Sporting Club (both are part of the JCMidtown development) are coming along nicely.
These buildings were all previously dilapidated. Future phases will include the renovation of two more buildings, an office building, box yard, parking garage, and maybe a residential or hotel mid-rise.

The "On Olive" housing development in Grand Center is coming along nicely. Numerous homes are under construction or will begin construction soon. The homes are designed by multiple architects, with the most renowned being Tatiana Bilbao of Mexico City. Attached are progress update photos from today as well as new renderings, which come from the "On Olive" project website. FYI: these are the first new homes in the Grand Center neighborhood in decades.
On Olive is located between Vandeventer and Spring in the Grand Center neighborhood. The project replaces numerous vacant lots and vacant buildings while redeveloping the Wolfner Building.

City Foundry Phase 2 is a new 368,000-square-foot, mixed-use residential development in Saint Louis, Missouri. The development includes 282 dwelling units atop a multi-level parking garage, with ground floor commercial retail. Continuing a westward expansion of the newly completed City Foundry Phase 1 development, the new residential building design envisions elegant, compact dwelling units in studio, 1 bedroom and 3 bedroom layouts permitting work/live opportunities on premise, coupled with extraordinary amenity facilities including two outdoor garden terraces at level 8 complete with extensive flowers, trees, swimming and leisure settings. Additional level 13 rooftop indoor/outdoor amenity spaces are included with vistas extending across the entire City Foundry site below and the downtown city of Saint Louis, Mississippi River and Gateway Arch beyond.
As project owner and developer, the Lawrence Group anticipates a fall 2021 commencement of construction. The building will seek Well Building certification and incorporates both natural and mechanical ventilation strategies to optimize systems efficiencies and maintain low energy consumption. The building design also explores modular unit planning with repetitive interior and exterior components, fostering construction schedule and materials cost savings.
The rendering below is of "Fassler Hall". It will open in the main Foundry Building next year. This rendering was found embedded on their website.
