Mixed-use redevelopment proposed at former Weekends Only store in St. Louis County
One of Weekends Only’s former St. Louis retail properties has sold for nearly $10 million and will be converted into a mixed-use redevelopment with multiple tenants.
The 9.47-acre site and building that housed the former South County location of Weekends Only, the St. Louis-based furniture retailer that closed all its stores earlier this year, sold for $9.9 million June 23 to an entity affiliated with Apple Investors Group, based in Chino Hills, California, according to St. Louis County records. The prior owner and seller was Brentwood-based Pace Properties.

A proposed mixed-use redevelopment of the site, which is in unincorporated St. Louis County, was on the agenda for the St. Louis County Planning Commission’s meeting Monday, but was listed on the county's website Thursday as postponed. A representative of the St. Louis County Department of Planning said that the hearing was postponed at the request of the petitioner, who needed more time, and the hearing is expected to happen next month instead.


Under the plans shown on the county website, the 92,000-square-foot Weekends Only building would be subdivided into multiple tenant spaces. Development costs were not disclosed.
Dogwood Social House, a restaurant and bar with activities such as axe throwing and arcade games, would occupy about 28,000 square feet. Another 39,300 square feet would be taken by a self-storage facility.
A smaller restaurant and a bank are proposed to be constructed on outlots of the property in the large existing parking lot lining Lindbergh Boulevard.
Should be interesting to see if this comes to fruition.

Builder's Square! Now there's a name I haven't head in a while. I remember one on Watson where the Social Security administration and an indoor go-cart track are now. I wonder how many of those there were. :)

Didn't know that was a hardware store before it was ValueCity (RIP).

Circa 1969-1970, May Company was attempting to purchase this land for a South County Venture Store.  The neighbors in the Concord Oaks subdivision behind this land put up a major battle to defeat the rezoning for this project.  IIRC, there were lawsuits or threats thereof.  These people did not want any commercial development or the related traffic going in there.  Obviously, at some point they changed their mind, because the land became retail and auto dealerships anyway.  

The GEM store at Lindbergh and Lemay Ferry went out of business in the same time period, and May leased that space for their South County Venture store instead.
