Unfortunately, Gateway, I can't help you out with that. I'm sure there will be some sort of announcement regarding this or maybe frequent Dominium's website (They are both the developer and property manager). I believe their website is www.dominiumapartments.comGateway City wrote:Do you know if I can pre-lease yet?

Or Gorlocks.
Formal announcement for tenant should be a week from today. Closing is moving along smoothly considering the complexity of this project. There are technically 2 closings on Arcade: one for the HTC/LIHTC side and one for the HTC/NMTC side.

Biz journal story today:
Webster’s new “Gateway Campus,” which will include offices, classrooms, a café, art museum and small auditorium, will open with the Arcade in 2016.
“This expansion marks the next phase of our partnership with the city and those who live and work downtown,” Elizabeth Stroble, Webster University president, said in a statement, adding that the Gateway Campus will also include classrooms currently housed in the Old Post Office, 815 Olive St., where graduate courses have been offered for nearly a decade.
http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news ... us-in.htmlThe 18-story, 538,000-square-foot building will also include 282 artist lofts and market-rate apartments, according to Tuesday’s statement. Dominium previously said two-thirds of the apartments would be affordable units with the rest as market-rate units.

^ awesome.... I hope I am reading things right that the Gateway Campus will include the OPO space. It will be nice to hear how many more Gorlocks we can expect to zombie around downtown.
And in other residential news the neighborhood development block said that another $500,000 permit has been issued for the Alverne work, so that conversion should be ramping up in earnest now.... that's 360+ units underway right there.
Great news.
With SLU Law, Webster University, Stevens and A.T. Still Dental School (close enough), downtown is forming a nice collegiate base.
Now let's get some extension of UMSL or Rolla.

Gorlocks and Billikins "zombie-ing" around downtown. Sounds like an episode of 'Fringe.'

Gorloks and Tritons and Billikens, oh my! For UMSL, how about moving the B-school? The Miners should have an urban transportation program housed downtown and an IT program. I'm not sure what the ATStill students will be called -- the Dentures? -- but I'm glad they're coming and will be providing a great service to the community.
(btw I heard when you mate a male Gorlok with a female Triton you get Trilok offspring; the reverse is a Gorton... cute little creatures both.)

It that really a dental school or more of a clinic for students to get their hands wet?

^ It'll be more or less a residency for upper-level students whom I believe will have completed their Kirksville work. There will be around 100 professionals and staff as well, so it is a major presence.
Here are details on the Gateway Campus --- it indeed will consist of the Arcade and OPO sites:
http://www.webster.edu/news/2014/news/0 ... unced.html
"[Dominium] plans to restore the first two floors and the building’s mezzanine into offices, classrooms, a café and an art museum. There also will be a small auditorium built where lectures, small group concerts and presentations will be held."
If the café and art museum are readily available to the public then I think that's sufficient.... other currently vacant storefronts in the surrounding area can absorb the expanded retail opportunities.

This is great news out of Webster. It sure will raise the profile of the university in our region as well as help bring a lot of investment and prosperity to downtown. I sure hope its downtown campus is successful and they aggressively expand it after a few years of operation.

It will be great to have an Art Museum for visitors downtown available year round. Does Webster have a collection somewhere they will draw from, or will this be more student and faculty art, I wonder?roger wyoming II wrote:Here are details on the Gateway Campus --- it indeed will consist of the Arcade and OPO sites:

More details:
"The university, which will occupy 54,000 square feet in the building, has signed a 20-year lease, the terms of which were not immediately known.
Webster will locate its cybersecurity and undergraduate degree completion programs at the Arcade, according to a Webster University spokesman. Art classes could also be held in the building, he said."

^ Gary, if they need art for the gallery, they should partner with SLAM to get some of the works of art out of storage and into public view... despite the expansion, they still got a lot under wraps.

Looks like from the plans the museum is slated for the ground floor facing Olive and the café would be in the Wright building with Pine entrance at the corner of Pine and 8th. Can't wait for work to begin.

Does anyone know how many square feet Webster U occupied in the Lammert Building? Just wondering how much of an increase in square footage, this is for the university Downtown. I recall, when attending Webster for grad school, they didn't have that much space in the Lammert Building. I took a few classes down there. It is a great building, but it didn't seem as if Webster had a lot of room to grow. I assume T-Rex has occupied a big chunk of that building.
I'm excited about the Cybersecurity program moving to this building - they'll only be a couple of blocks from T-Rex. Hopefully we'll see a steady stream of new companies coming out of this program.

Up to 1,000 students will be able to be accommodated at the Arcade,
Here are renderings and a FACTSHEET about Webster University's new Gateway Campus.
The 18-story, 538,000-square-foot building will also include 282 artist lofts and market-rate apartments.

The 18-story, 538,000-square-foot building will also include 282 artist lofts and market-rate apartments.
The Lammert Building is 180,000 Sq ft. When T-REX moved in they occupied the Stolar Partnership space with is 1/3 of 6 and all of 7 & 8 or about 46,000 sq ft. T-REX is in the process of building out the 5th floor to be a Conference center which will contain a co-working space, conference rooms, a large board room, classroom, coffee cafe, bar, and auditorium. The grand opening of the conference center will be in September. The 4th floor is being renovated for Arch Grants award winners who will occupy on July 1st. Presently, 85 companies and 220 employees are occupying T-REX. In July with Arch Grants there will be over 100 companies and 250 people working at T-REX. An interesting stat is that only 50 parking passes have been issued so over 150 of the employees are either car-pooling, walking, or taking the metro to get to work. It is very exciting to work there.
This is a great move on Webster's part. It's a university that I know of to be a quality school but gets overlooked the same way that Fontbonne or Maryville also get overlooked when considering colleges in the area because they aren't WashU, SLU, or SIU. This makes their name and their brand much more prominent and attractive as they now seem to be offering a more unique and customizable experience than others in the region.

Apparently the funding for this isn't a done deal yet, it's close but not done yet...US Bank had a final step before their internal approval of the funding today. Tho my source says unless there is some major issue internally or externally, this should close soon
This is a big big deal - not easy at all to close on the financing.

I talk to one of the engineers and some construction workers just outside the arcade buildings today and they are planning to start construction in about two weeks around July 1.
