Makes you wonder how in the world anyone could have abandoned that for so long.
This building is going to be jaw-dropping when finished.

Arcade should be PIS in the next week or so. I'll be down there next Tuesday after the draw to tour. If I can figure out how to post pics on this site I'll definitely post a few.

^ look forward to it!
John, if you can shed light now or after next week on these questions I'd be most appreciative:
- do you if public will be able to see the arcade as they go to the art museum, etc., which I assume will be open to public?
- do you have any details on the corner cafe/coffee shop?
- and projections on the number of students/staff for Webster?
Thanks!

^ thanks!
post-dispatch just had a short update btw telling reader's behind the paywall
-- about 85% of the building is done
-- should open in December
-- about half the units have already been pre-leased.
Looking good!

Roger - you are correct. About half the units have been pre-leased. What's impressive about that is those were leased site unseen. I don't think there will be any issue filling the remaining units. If anyone has a friend/family member/acquaintance looking for a new home, make sure they check Arcade out!roger wyoming II wrote:^ thanks!

As to your questions above:
-the arcade will be public space and you should have access from art gallery
-the corner cafe/coffee shop is part of Webster's space. I believe they're currently working with a 3rd party to occupy the space. Not sure on details but I believe they will serve Starbucks coffee (won't be a Starbucks though).
-I'm not sure on the number of students/faculty
The clubhouse on the 19th floor is going to be amazing. In my opinion, it will be the nicest rooftop clubhouse of any downtown building.

^ to me, that is about as beautiful a picture as you can get! Man was that one ugly corner not long ago.
(And that corner of the Arcade project will house the Gorlok Grind, a coffee shop and bookstore open to the public.)

Does Metro plan on cleaning up that entrance/overhang? That bad boy is still covered in dust from construction and is rusting in places.

Hopefully that 80% applies to the market-rate units as well.... I don't think there was much doubt the subsidized artists' units would have high demand.

Residents, jobs, students, market-rate apartments, subsidized apartments, an expanded major institutional presents Downtown, unmatched transit proximity, and top-notch historical preservation - what an absolute resounding success of a project.

Looked on their site and they have some 1 bedrooms going for $1050-1175 but cannot make more than $39,500, I haven't rented in a long time and when I did I was in Jeff city and got a huge 2 bedroom for $385 a month but that seems like steep rent for that income....
Side note...I did date a girl who's dad was ceo of a Macys sub and his developer friends would get their children's friends live in those "low" income units. So she was making $28,000 a year but living the lifesyle of someone making $100,000 thanks to dad
