It's unfortunate that sc4mayor apparently deleted their accounts on this forum and on the UrbanSTL forum. Many of valued posts all lost and they'll be impossible to recreate because of just how many there were.
I'll try to keep this thread alive as time allows starting most recently and onward. There's too much interesting stuff happening in St. Louis not to share.
7-Story Apartment Building Could Join the JCMidtown Lineup
Quote:
Cooper at JCMidtown is a 7-story mixed-use apartment building that will take up space currently occupied by the Sam Light Loans company building, State Farm Insurance office commercial building and parking lots. The structure will consist of 175 apartment units and 5500sf of ground floor retail space that wraps around from Olive (near the AT&T Building) along Jefferson and down Locust Street. The building will be the largest component of the JCMidtown development and will also be the largest multi-family building, by unit count, built between Grand and Jefferson in decades.
The building is being designed by Trivers and will be clad in a metal facade.

Plan Emerges to Reimagine Clinton-Peadbody
Quote:
Originally built in 1942 and designed to house 950 residents, the complex houses far fewer residents than necessary due to maintenance issues and safety perceptions. Earlier this year, local media reported that the Housing Authority tapped Trivers, and Boston-based Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH) as master developer, to reimagine Clinton-Peabody as part of a $100 Million+ investment to improve living conditions, densify the development, and correct mistakes made back in the 40s.
The redevelopment plan contemplates 350-400 mixed-income apartments in a variety of styles (townhouse, garden-style walk-up units, and standard apartment buildings with commercial space) and sizes (ranging from 1-4 bedroom units), meeting a variety of family sizes and economic needs.
Phase 1 will consist of demolishing four buildings on the block bounded by Chouteau, Dillon, LaSalle and St. Ange and replacing them with three buildings totaling 89-units. This phase could begin in 2024.

Proposal at 121 South Meramec Would Change Clayton's Skyline
Quote:
Clayton's boom continues with a proposal from Kansas City-based Revive Capital Development.
Planned is a new, 21-story apartment tower at 111 South Meramec with 258 apartments (252 will be market-rate and the other 6 will be affordable), 25 underground parking spaces, 2500sf of retail space, and a sky art wall that "will be admired from afar and strengthen Clayton's commitment to public art". The current 7-Up building at 121 South Meramec will be cut down from 11 to 5-stories and the 4 below-grade parking levels be retained, but only 2 will be used for parking purposes. The reasoning behind the 7-Up building's haircut? Reduce the weight burden on the structure of the 60+ year old building. The 7-Up building, or the 121 South Meramec component, will have 40 apartments, 133 below-grade parking spaces, and amenity space. All-in, 298 new apartments will be built here.
Another 200 parking spaces will come from the neighboring parking garage on Bonhomme. The existing plaza space on Meramec Avenue will be reimagined as a result of the project.
Chris Cedergreen, who worked on the Koman Group proposal a few years back, and the Lamar Johnson Collaborative, are the architects on this project. Paric Construction is set to be the general contractor. 2B Residential is set to be the property manager.
Development costs for "The Shaw" are estimated at $108 Million.

4100 Manchester Advances
Back in the City, AHM Group's 4100 Manchester proposal is heading before the Forest Park Southeast Development Committee on September 26th. This incentive-free proposal replaces the former Attitudes Bar at 4100 Manchester with a 5-story, 23-unit development with a 1200sf commercial space and 10 parking spaces. JEMA is the architect on this one.
Mark Twain Building in Downtown Could Become a Hotel
New Orleans-based Campo Architects reportedly purchased the Mark Twain Hotel building at 9th and Pine with the intent to convert it into a hotel. A brand hasn't been named yet. The Mark Twain is currently a low-income housing building in the shadow of the vacant, 44-story 909 Chestnut/AT&T Tower.
Chemical Building Redevelopment Advances
Speaking of Campo, with a tax abatement awarded, and Historic Tax Credits approved, Campo's redevelopment of the Chemical Building at 8th and Olive is moving ahead. Construction on the dual-brand, $82 Million, 240-room Residence Inn and Springhill Suites could begin in the coming months. The intent is to reopen the property in 2025. Getting this building reopened after decades of sitting vacant will complete the transformation of the blocks surrounding the Old Post Office.
