^I think the Chemical and/or Union Trust will get done before any of those projects to"keep an eye on." But that's not based on any hard evidence or even rumor.

Curious if anyone knows how prevalent Section 8 housing may be in all the various developments downtown. Not the affordable housing programs subsidizing artists in Arcade, etc. but through the actual Section 8 program.

PostFeb 02, 2016#405

I thought I'd also post the recent 2015 Housing Occupancy Report from Downtown STL that true-dope posted on the State of Downtown thread:

http://downtownstl.webtestdev.com/wp-co ... -Final.pdf

The data is supposed to be from March, so we've added another 500 units or so since, which is much more than typical. If things lease up decently, I think we could definitely climb from the March count of 8,300 DT/DTW residents to 9.000 by the end of the year.

PostMar 22, 2016#406

My mind is mushy on specific dates, but I think these larger projects have all come online since the 2010 census bringing new units to the Downtown neighborhood (east of Tucker):

Gallery 400
Laurel
Tower OPOP
Arcade
Millennium Center
720 Olive

And Alverne soon. There's been some smaller ones as well but am I missing any significant ones of size in downtown proper since 2010?

Leather Trades is a pretty good sized renovation was finished in 2011 or 2012

^ thanks... I was thinking east of Tucker; of course west of Tucker we also have Park Pacific and Station Plaza among others. (Can't remember the name of the one by Tap Room, but I think it had 40 or so apts., decent size.)

Anyway, we've averaged at least one decent-sized apartment project in the Downtown neighborhood since 2010 and maybe slightly less than that in Downtown West. That's pretty good I think and hopefully we'll see some more solid announcements to keep the momentum going.

whoops! did not read your full post - But considering that we didn't reach recovery till 2014 we have had an OK run. If Jeff Arms and Chemical building go it will just about clear up all the obvious big residential conversions

^ Yup. Of course there is the RR/X but that is kind of a whole other level of beast. Mercantile hopefully gets tackled, too. LaSalle is a great building but I don't think would have too many units. So it looks like the rehab energy necessarily will move back to Downtown West (and possibly into the Landing and maybe those near north Riverfront warehouses) unless things like the Crowne Plaza and Millennium towers get converted.

^Don't forget about Butler Brothers. That's a HUGE beautiful building with mixed use written all over it.

In regard to the population, I would also take into account that most of the City View towers were empty or being vacated prior to 2010 and they are active and presumably near capacity now.

^ yeah, I can't recall exactly what the state of City View towers were in 2010 -- were 2 completely empty? -- but we should see some growth there for sure.

Also, I came across this from St. Louis Construction News & Real Estate:

Largest Apartment Projects 2015
http://www.stlouiscnr.com/features/arti ... ects_2015/

3 of the 9, were downtown. Not bad!

#8 Station Plaza
#6 Gallery 720
#1 Arcade Apartments

(#4 & #2 were the Standard & West Pine Lofts, respectively)

With the Alverne wrapping up, it sort of is the culmination of a pretty impressive slew of new apartments that came online in the past 18 months or so.... there's the project at 18th & Washington and a few more floors at the 720 Olive tower are still being converted, but that's about it right now.

And unless the 1706 Washington (old CPI building) proceeds soon, it'll be awhile before any other apartment projects get under construction.

You have to love this quote from a developer who is adding downtown units without tax incentives or abatements. However, I would qualify his quote that buying building stock on the cheap and converting has to be a lot cheaper than new build. The question, is it strong enough to get Railway or Jeff Arms going forward?

http://www.stltoday.com/business/local/ ... 9efaa.html

Hayden said the downtown residential market is strong enough to continue absorbing apartments. Retail will follow, he said.

“Our goal is to generate foot traffic in downtown St. Louis,” he added.

I just read that article and was trying to understand what his next apartment project was going to be. I could not exactly figure it out. Can anyone elaborate on what the article was saying?

^ I'll give it a stab... he already has been issued a permit for parking garage ramps for the building at 512 Locust, which is mid-block.... residents will enter there and be able to drive up to their apartment on higher floors in the buildings on either side (the one to the east at the corner of Locust and Broadway is the Mercantile Library Building, which had an unfortunate mid-century re-cladding).

Should be interesting... good thing is that block is so messed up as it is so it's the type of place well-suited for something a bit different.

PostNov 14, 2016#418

Current residential pipeline... although some of these still have a long way to go to imo. There are a couple smaller projects (under 25 units) that I haven't included.

Under Construction:
The Alverne/Gallery 1014 - 81 units
1900 Washington - 36 units
117 units under construction

Planned
The Monogram - 168 units
The Chemical - 125 units
913-921 Locust - 88 units
Jefferson Arms - 239 units
Railway Exchange - 550 units
Mercantile Library - 100+ units (guesstimate)
Ballpark Village - 200+ units (guesstimate)
1470+ units planned

Is The Monogram (1706 Wash) still not under construction? It was supposed to start in September.

^ I don't believe so... not sure if it's too early to be worried about but no permits have been applied for yet and I think it has all the city incentives in place. So we'll see.

Also, I fixed some of the unit counts for a couple of the proposed projects.

When does the residential/office report come out for downtown? Seems like it's usually released around this time. I'm interested to see their estimates for 2017. My estimates for downtown core population 2020 is upward of 5,000

What boundaries are you using for "downtown core?"
