If you get a chance walk in the lobby and check out the historic ceiling that was recently discovered. I cannot understand how anyone could hang a suspended ceiling over mosiac as nice as this. When this lobby gets rehabbed its going to look great.

Gotta love those 1980's drop-ceiling rehabs.
70's too!
Looking back, it's amazing any one thought that was a good idea, but it must of seemed like it was at the time. Remember too that HVAC systems weren't as advanced as they are today, so "cutting off" all that unused space saved a lot in heating and cooling costs. Or at least that was the intent.
So the old ceiling's actually mosaic? As in lots and lots of little tiles? That's awsome. Hopefully most (if not all) of the original ceiling is still up there.
That Thai place is the BEST LUNCH downtown. ok, one of them. $6 bucks for a HUGE plate of thai.. MMMMMMMM that restauarant should stay.. I'm sure it won't though..
Please post that picture in the thread where we were all arguing with that lady about not needing more parking. I don't see a single car anyhwere in that picture. Cool view, though.
The only times I've ever had trouble finding a spot east of Tucker has been when there is an afternoon Cardinals game. Otherwise, parking is a relative breeze.
but its certainly not a lack of spaces that's the problem, more-so the getting to them, finding a meter (or entering a labyrinthine overpriced parking deck) by fighting the traffic and the ridiculous amalgamation of one-way streets, haphazard lane markings, and unsynched traffic lights.
also, I <3 the chemical bld. its a fun building to explore since all the stair wells and floors are open. my eye doctors office is there also. i wonder if he'll be displaced.
It appears they have their website up and running.....provides building layout information but no detailed floor plans yet(I'm sure they will update). This looks like one sweet project.
Lowest priced unit (756 Sq. ft) is $170,418 on the lowest floor and $193,808 on the highest floor...Lowest priced 2BR2BA (1,178sq ft) is $265,545 on the lowest floor and $301,992 on the highest floor. There are 3 2BR 2BA plans. Also some 3BR plans with 2 or 2.5BAs.
