They should add this blue St Louis limestonepdm_ad wrote:^^ Was going to say the same.
I think they need to utilize that roof by packing it with amenities. Strip off the upper wrapping facade then add outdoor seating or lounges along with glassed in areas, all with views over the city.
Obviously this works at an office building but idk if it works on a residential…unless you plan to provide blackout curtains to everyone
I love this, it reminds me of Tron Legacy haha.
Since the first few floors will be amenities, retail, parking, this could work. There was some rendering in recent years where Gateway Foundation/city was working to potentially try to do this type of lighting at least with the horrible parking garages facing the gateway mall.spongboymebob00 wrote: ↑5:28 PM - Mar 06We could do what Civil Courts Building does and light up the parts of the building that don't interfere with anything inside. For example they could do this with all the parking floors they have. I'm thinking something like this
(Ignore the the Peabony building lol)

St. Louis could see major downtown renovation in the coming years helped by legislation signed into Missouri law by Gov. Mike Kehoe on Monday.
Kehoe signed a large economic development bill that includes incentivizing the conversion of vacant or underused properties into new housing.
For St. Louis, that could mean changes to the AT&T tower and Railway Exchange building.
Through the legislation, cities could apply for an area to become a Missouri innovation zone and be able to use incentives distributed by the state Department of Economic Development.
Cities must include proposed district boundaries, identify vacant and underutilized properties as well as provide projections of anticipated housing and employment growth in their application. Cities may only establish one of those districts.
Additionally, the legislation allows for up to $50 million annually in tax credits toward the conversion of buildings into residential spaces.
Sen. Steve Roberts, D-St. Louis, said the legislation will ultimately lead to more people living in downtown St. Louis.
"The passage of House Bill 3231 was critical in our efforts to continue revitalizing Missouri's main streets, central business districts, and downtowns," Kehoe said in a statement.
