Bravo!
Like I said before........if you are going to build 'em short, design 'em sweet.
This is current and sweet!

Fun fact: the lot and the one next to it used to have twenty matching townhouses with a little bit of retail on the corner, so the world is coming full circle (albeit slightly more dense with 54 units). The townhouses down the block from 4155 to 4147 Laclede are each pretty similar to what was there. All were built around 1905, each is about 2200sqft and valued at around $275K.

For those of us who have bitched about design in the city recently, rejoice! This looks awesome.

Think this colored brick might be the material used on the exterior?

^Looks like it to me. The bricks look kinda funny in the rendering, but I'm sure they'll blend together in real life. Good looking building.

Do you know about how long ago?
As a potentially helpful data point, the Demun Pointe development at 6451 Clayton Rd. (designed by St. Louis' own Core10 Architecture) was built in 2007-2008 for $13.9-$15 million and used real iron colored brick. That development was a bit smaller at 3.5 stories and 29 units - although the units were significantly bigger, ranging from 1,200 - 2,300 sq. ft.
$16 million seemed low to me for this proposal, but in light of the Demun Pointe development cost and execution, I think it could turn out pretty well.

MUCH better than what was previously proposed for this site.

Oh, I don't know. My parents moved to the city in '75, and my father, as an idealistic young architect always imagined some kind of mixed use building on that site. So they were gone by then.

Here is the website for the property. The main page has two enlarged renders (with more detail) which I'd post here if I knew how to.

Are those planters or has someone moved some concrete medians and lined them up in front of the building? Why put trees on the building side of the sidewalk when the noisy cars are on the other side? Otherwise that's some of the best St. Louis infill I've seen.

Those are walk up town homes, so they are most likely dividers for the homes' porch from the sidewalk...
Looks like this is moving forward; they've erected a "Coming Soon" sign at the site.
^ I believe Tim Bryant's PD building block update on the project stated that groundbreaking will be based on pre sales but definitely some confidence.
It will be interesting to see how well this does. Developer dropping the old Maryland school lot in Clayton because of opposition might create an opening for some more CWE townhouse, attached, acondo projects if you only see high rise/mid rise apartment offerings in and around Clayton CBD.
