Former Mop Factory Sees new Ownership, Potential Residential Redevelopment - St. Louis City Talk Favorite from 2017

Former Mop Factory Sees new Ownership, Potential Residential Redevelopment - St. Louis City Talk Favorite from 2017

After multiple changes in ownership, the handsome brick building at Dolman and Park Avenue has not been rehabbed. Another transfer in ownership announced in January, 2017 may be the one that gets this project done. What an important building to showcase the preservation bent of the Lafayette Square Neighborhood. 

Proposal for Mixed-Use Building on southeast corner of Delmar and Skinker

Proposal for Mixed-Use Building on southeast corner of Delmar and Skinker

Last year, there was a mixed use proposal for the northwest corner of Skinker and Delmar, this year there is one for the southeast corner. Both would be higher uses at an important entry to the Loop. The Skinker/Debaliviere neighborhood would be more whole with this project and the size matches the existing buildings in the area. A favorite announcement in 2017, for sure.

Intrada Lofts in the Carondelet Neighborhood - 2017 St. Louis City Talk Favorite

Intrada Lofts in the Carondelet Neighborhood - 2017 St. Louis City Talk Favorite

The handsome corner building at Grand and Holly Hills Avenue in the Carondelet Neighborhood is seeing new life as a transitional housing for children aging out of foster care as well as seniors and families needing housing assistance. This 1928 building was in limbo for many years, so it will be good to get a new roof and interior rehab. Another St. Louis City Talk favorite from 2017.

Former Victor Iron Works Site in Soulard - Turning to >120 Apartments

Former Victor Iron Works Site in Soulard - Turning to >120 Apartments

Another favorite development of 2017 is the Whistler Apartment building at Victor and 9th Street in Soulard. This one will bring over 120 new units and some much needed residential density in one of the more far away corners of this high-visibility neighborhood. With so many tourists and visitors coming to the Brewery, this will make a nice addition to Broadway vs. the shuttered Victor Iron Works.

2016 Favorite Development Announcements: Soulard Apartments at Russell and Gravois

2016 Favorite Development Announcements: Soulard Apartments at Russell and Gravois

Another 2016 development favorite announcement that is well underway in Soulard. This one hugs the existing historic buildings and will bring a lot of activity to a former boring entrance to a popular neighborhood. Passers-by on I-44/I-55 will certainly get a taste for what St. Louisan's know. Lots of positive development is happening in St. Louis.
