PostJan 02, 2015#2

^ updated to put the Veterans Landing project into the planned category... it is slated for the old Cass Bank building (owned by Northside Regeneration) that also served as the home of the Greyhound Station before moving to the Gateway station. Looks like the people behind the ambitious project are hustling to make it a go.

the permit for the grading and foundation work for the OPUS building was issued earlier this week so I'm moving that bad boy over to Under Construction! I count exactly 600 new construction units underway in the CWE now.

PostJan 07, 2015#4

With the OPUS project about to get underway and joining the Blues Museum and Missouri Theater as recent lift-offs, it seems like the Loop Trolley is the last of the real stragglers. (Although we did lose the Chemical along the way.)

I suspect we'll hear more on the Silo Lofts project before long as well as Midtown Station but larger planned projects sure seem to have quieted down in recent months. I hope I am wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if fewer residential construction permits get issued this year than last.

PostJan 08, 2015#5

Good news as Union Station entertainment phase is indeed moving forward with plans to begin work next month! Added to planned.

PostJan 09, 2015#6

nextstl reports that the Polar Wave conversion project got approved and permits issued!

The Crowne Plaza hotel in downtown St. Louis is in large part returning to its 1960s origin.

HREC Investment Advisors said Friday it had arranged the hotel's sale by Hallmark Hotels LLC to 200 STL Holdings LLC. The new owner will convert the 440-room hotel into 140 hotel suites and 300 residential units, HREC said.
When it opened in the mid 1960s, the 29-story hotel was part of the three-tower Mansion House apartment complex near the St. Louis riverfront.The southernmost tower, at 200 North Fourth Street, became a Crowne Plaza hotel in December 2006. It previously flew the Radisson Hotel & Suites flag.
Like the rest of Mansion House, the Crowne Plaza tower was built as apartments. It was converted to a Holiday Inn in 1974 before picking up the Radisson banner in 1998.An HREC official did not return a call seeking more information about the deal. HREC did not disclose how much STL Holdings paid for the property or when the remodeling will begin.
Scott Kaniewski, an HREC senior vice president in Chicago, said in a statement the “hotel's location across from the Gateway Arch speaks for itself.”Geoff Davis, HREC president and senior principal, in Denver, said the deal “was a very complex transaction, involving land leases, multiple uses, and financing complexities, but Buyer and Seller worked together to resolve these issues and allow the asset a new life."
HREC is a lodging and gaming real estate advisory firm specializing in property sales, mortgage brokerage, and consulting in market studies and appraisals. I copy and paste the article

The P-D really needs to address their subscription pricing. Just digital costs the same as print+digital. And it's too much. The extra content is not worth $13.50 a month.

I'd be glad to support the local paper, but they need to come down in price. I've told them as much. Hopefully they'll re-evaluate.

In the meantime, here's a fun tip:

The safe way of saying this is that they seem to offer you a free preview of every article for roughly one-half second. I cannot comment on the intent or lack there of. All I know is it happens. ;)

So if you hit the stop button as soon as the article content loads, you can preserve your "free preview" and enjoy the entire article.

It's interesting, or perhaps a better word is discouraging, that a 440-room hotel is being converted to 140 hotel suites and 300 residential units.

I'm all for adaptive reuse, the growth of downtown's population and residential housing stock, and the continued diversification of housing options away form Wash. Ave., but it sounds like this will be 100% studio/1-bedroom units (i.e. converted hotel room apartments). Perhaps that's what's leasing these days (although OPOP Tower has similar stock and has been sluggish, albeit relatively expensive), and it's obviously the cheapest way to do the conversion, but it would be nice to see more 2 & 3 bedroom units coming on line, both to appeal to urban minded families, but moreso to attract young professionals who want to cut costs by having roommates instead of individual studios and one-bedrooms.

^ Wait til the micro-unit trend really hits here and we put 2,000 units into the Railway Exchange!

I, too, would like to see more 2 bdrms and some 3 bdrms downtown but the way I look at it the more units the merrier for now and those larger units may become more integrated in future projects as rental rates climb higher. Also, I think we should note that this looks to be market rate, which in itself is a positive as a lot of the recent action has been with subsidized units. I'd also have to look more closely, but I think the guy whose name I can't remember without more coffee but who is doing the Alverne and 720 Market projects tends to offer more of a mix of larger apartments than what we tend to see in others.

Some news for South City. Not sure if it's new, but if someone posted this, I missed it.

Infill and possibly one rehab in Benton Park, infill in King's Oak, and a rehab of an old school in Dutchtown.

nextstl also sez TGNA will be building 1 infill on DeTonty and 4 in TGS but I don't think I'll add it to the list due to the relatively small project size. Also on the southside I don't think I'll add the S. Grand Starbuck's moving along (the old dry cleaners has been demolished) because of the drive-thru site plan and the replacement Tin Can building on Morgan Ford.

But it is good to see stuff move forward.
