Great to see Kirkwood getting things that Webster outright rejects.

Looking at aerial photos of Kirkwood, they could add a lot more projects like this if they choose.

Especially in this part of Kirkwood. Just go northwest from this site, and there’s some parking lots that make great candidates for similar sized infill. If someone wanted to be ambitious, the Alpine Shop, Walgreens, and Global Foods could all be replaced with Walgreens and Global Foods occupying ground floor retail space.

At Clay and Adams, a 3-family condo building was proposed there but that seems to have gone no where. I’d personally do a 6-family or something like that there.  Downtown Kirkwood is showing what it’s capable of with Savoy’s condo buildings on Madison and the James, it just needs some more. In many ways, it’s my favorite suburb and it’s clear to see why (if you can look past the NIMBYs).

Commerce Bank has been completed for a while now. Site prep is underway for the new apartments.
