Elek.borrelli wrote: ↑Aug 05, 2025The unit layouts are also incomparable. The deep floorplates of the Victor, being a former factory conversion, are not well suited for residential, thus a majority of the units have bedrooms without windows. While this is up to code courtesy of modern fresh air mechanical systems, this is far from appealing from a livability/ marketing standpoint. This is most likely another reason why it has struggled leasing. The above Jefferson Arms floorplans are efficient, feature unique architectural characteristics such as the bay windows, as well as high end finishes. The only issue that they might face is the lack of a pool. Besides this, I don't foresee it having any issues with lease up.
P.S. I work for a real estate developer where we target $4.50 / SF for one bedroom units.

Hello MattMattnSTL wrote: ↑Aug 14, 2025It seems like Alterra will be running these businesses themselves, so it seems like a for sure thing they at least open. Anyone's guess at success after that, but I would certainly hope they stay in operation.

The hotel would generally be taking booking 3 months out before opening.

Taking a wager:))STLAPTS wrote: ↑Aug 22, 2025I would be suprised if it was substantially completed in the next 9-12 months.
Be the end of September you will see a big improvements. I hope we can have you tour again.STLAPTS wrote: ↑Aug 22, 2025Take a tour. You can schedule showings for the apartments. It’s a complete mess. I don’t see how the City Of St Louis could issue occupancy. I hope I am wrong for it’s a big project for downtown.pdm_ad wrote: ↑Aug 22, 2025KMOV just reported on this, said it's 'coming online in late Fall'...

You might have been misinformed. On the contrary subs putting more manpower on the job & working overtime. Especially Electrical and Mechanical are doing miracle work.
Rezi & hotel should be open late fall 2025. Though retail construction would take longer to complete albeit at a much smaller crew size.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Aug 26, 2025Spoke with one of the workers on site, he said January 2026 construction finish
You can private message me for the wager.

Late October early November as it stands now.

However, the lengthy financing period (when things were "good") and the current situation would give me pause that this firm can handle the Muni Courts building and adjacent lot development.
Time will tell, and looking forward to the finish. I can imagine this will open in phases, residential - amenities - commercial.
This is correct. The reservation date might slide back and forth depending how fast the management team can bring the ops on line.dweebe wrote: ↑Sep 04, 2025The hotel is now live on the Marriott site.Auggie wrote: ↑Sep 04, 2025Post-Dispatch article on the Syndicate Building says the Jefferson Arms hotel and apartment will open in October.

The notation on the list says "Opening Soon Nov 2025" but the site doesn't let you book until December.
