A couple of the prospective tenants seem a little cheesy, but I'm just glad Trump Hotels is no longer going to flag the hotel.

A Turkish contemporary furniture store is part of the retail plan, according to a tweet from a Post-Dispatch reporter.

Like what I'm hearing and he said he's seen worse when it came to the condition of the building so I'll take it

I really like the developer's optimism and knowledge of St. Louis. His optimism could transfer to other potential projects.
Sarimsakci said St. Louis is "an emerging U.S. market." He said he is impressed by the metro area's diversified economy, educated workforce, $150 billion gross domestic product and "thriving" startup industry.
Also, the developer is planning a 4,000sf Koleksiyon Furniture store.

Currently, there are only three in the United States - New York, Chicago and Dallas.

^^ He is the same guy (I believe) that said he could envision building a 50 story tower on the North Riverfront. I like the way that guy thinks! If only everybody in the region had that kind of optimism.

Fitness Factory is moving there to make room for LockerDome to move into the old Fitness Factory space. There will still be parking above.
Now open! Looks pretty neat.

Anyone know what's going to go into Lockerdome's current location once they move into the now old Fitness Factory space?

Most likely a "For Lease" sign.

There has long been a rumor that Sen Thai would relocate to that old J&W/Lucky's Space, but I'm not sure if that ever had real legs or not.

I saw this picture of the building on the Vintage St. Louis FaceBook Page today. I like all the surrounding buildings.

The thing that gets me about this photo is the old buildings. WHY did we have to demolish those older buildings for garages and lots? What a waste, hopefully developers can fill in those lots soon.

10 story building that could have many jobs, residents, etc, instead a drive thru bank. And we wonder why the city can't pay its bills.

I am sure that bank would gladly move if the right price for the property was given but even if there was no price given, that Bank will move within the next few years. When that happens, that whole corner will need redevelopment from the abandoned garage attached to the Board of Elections Building to that gigantic lot on Locust at Tucker. This could be a very busy corner if precautions to make it busy were made.

So Much Undeveloped Land here. The Garage is in the Lower left along Locust.

The building to the right - the Silk Exchange - was destroyed in a fire.

As for the building on the left, it is the Star building. I can find some pics but no reason for it being torn down.
