Amidst the slow down in new planned construction i think theres still a great deal of steady progress. There are going to be times when some years are better than the others i think 15 should be a better year for more projects. Im really opus can get its new residential project up and going. CWE and Clayton right now are the hottest areas in St.Louis i think downtown will see a resurgence you still have BPV and Drury owns the land in Laclede's Landing also maybe something on the Bottle district union station. Im curious in whats going on with the Chemical building why hasn't that gotten off of the list of need to be rehabbed? Its in a prime area.

Took off the Intrada Lofts project planned for Downtown West and added the monster mixed-use project planned by Green Street for the Grove's east end.... another indication that the hot market is moving out of downtown.

RWII, thanks for keeping this thread up-to-date. I agree with your observation about activity moving away from downtown and toward the Central Corridor. As much as I want to see more activity downtown, I have to believe a stronger Midtown, CWE, etc. will only help to strengthen the case for downtown development, and then the pendulum will swing the opposite direction.

At the CID Property Owner meeting tonight, Doug Woodruff said that 777 Olive (Chemical Building) will be going back on the market.

Wonder why they could not get financed but I always felt the building should have a similar market-rate to affordable ratio like the arcade building.

^that sucks. What a beautiful building. I hope someone can get it off the ground soon. It is needed to complete REAL density around the OPO.

As a sidenote, what a shame they kicked Dooley's out of that building years ago for "new development". I miss walking down there for amazing burgers.

The jewelry store is close to wonder if they were kicked out.

^^ Dooley's would be great to still have downtown for sure. The Jefferson Arms also comes to mind as a prominent building that was vacated ahead of planned redevelopment but is now a ghost.... any others besides these two that come to mind?

I know one of the dudes that started Earthbound Brewing. I intend to check it out very soon. Was about to post something about it opening, since I didn't see anything here.

That sounds like a good idea. It might be a bit for two reasons: I don't have my car here. I left it behind when I moved so I could drive my moving truck. I'm picking it up over the holidays, though. Sadly, public transit to the Cherokee area is cumbersome from downtown.

But the real reason, Earthbound has its licence to operate as a bar, but is still waiting on it's Federal Brewery License, so it can only give out small samples of its own beer. For now, it's selling stuff from other local breweries. I might wait until I can order a pint.

The 73 and 11 go to Cherokee from downtown.

Use the transit app! Shows exactly how to get to Cherokee from downtown.
