@goat314 posted the link to these renderings in the Butler Brothers Building thread. Definitely a solid direction for this if it can be pulled off in-full.

Phase 1 consists of 89 units and could start next year (according to Trivers). The new Clinton-Peabody include garden-style walk-ups, townhouses, and standard apartment buildings with commercial space. Apartments will range in size from 1-4 bedrooms. Phase 1 doesn't appear to include any townhouse style units, so I imagine those will be a later phase and make up the "heart/core" of the development.

I am a huge fan of this project. The facing on Chouteau is much improved and should hopefully pave the way for new developments across the street. That area to the north needs infill in the worst kind of way

My old idea for Clinton Peabody was to demolish all of it and build the NFL stadium there. Huge missed opportunity!

This is great .  If they did a similar redevelopment of the Lasalle park Apartments i think this part of town could become VERY desirable as it is sandwiched between the key nodes of Soulard, Lafayette Square and Downtown.

I am sensitive to the fact i don't want to see the current residents with no where to go though so i hope someone has looked at that and has some kind of plan.

Agreed Enginerd. Don't forget about the close proximity to the Gateway South development.

This will be huge for getting some development going on the north side of Choutaeu. Hopefully phase one is the north side of the complex.

Really appreciate that they are including some retail bays here too. Will bring much some much needed activity to the neighborhood

This is not a $150m project. The goal is to raise $150m over the next decade.

Phase 1 demolition to begin for the Clinton-Peabody redevelopment. Phase 1 will cost $32 million, demolish 6 buildings, and add 89 apartments.

^The full project is to cost $150 million for all 350 new houses and apartments, but they obviously have not raised that yet, which is why it'll take ~10 years.

$428,000 per unit? That's insane.

Considering all the site improvements, seems about right.

Affordable housing is expensive housing.  Lot's of extra soft costs due to dealing with tax credits and multiple funding sources, plus additional requirements placed on the projects for using those various sources.

Do we know the design elements? I’m
hoping brick/colorful row homes and some gentle density multi family

The redevelopment will have 350 new houses and apartments, but how many are there currently there? I'm wondering if this is a 1-1 renovation or if hopefully it also includes growth, anyone knows?

358 --> 350, meaning a net negative of 8 units. However, from what I understand, occupancy was/is low. All the current residents are being given an opportunity to stay in the new units.
