The Board of Adjustment approved zoning variances
- 9,542
For this size of a building I think it will take the city about 60-75 times for permit review, so maybe?

Looking at the renderings for this and looking at One Hundred, I think I'm going to end up liking Albion more when all is said and done. I know renderings aren't always accurate, but that's not what I'm looking at here. The fact the mechanical stuff will be covered, the facade has curves on it broken up only by two recessed balcony areas, the facade has bronze metal accents, street level on Kingshighway will be more inviting than One Hundred, and the stair stepped pattern it creates on this stretch of road is a good thing to see.
Definitely looking forward to seeing this rise.

I think this tower is going to look really well next to One Hundred. The jagged edges of One Hundred and the curvy edges of Albion will compliment each other really well.
An word on what the height will be in ft.? I'm assuming around 350'-360' including the walled off mechanical components?

Based on this, height to the top of the mechanical roof is 335ft.jacob_rb_15 wrote: ↑Aug 01, 2022I think this tower is going to look really well next to One Hundred. The jagged edges of One Hundred and the curvy edges of Albion will compliment each other really well.

So anyone with a realistic timeline on final approval(s), permits and possible ground breaking. Consider that One Hundred almost fully leased it will be nice St Louis could at least have the permits go on the books for 2022.
same question as dredger- for those of you that know how this stuff works- what is a realistic timeframe to expect any news or tangible progress on a project like this? Thank you!
The next HUDZ meeting at the BoA is September 22nd. It’s not on the agenda.
I believe Pihl has to file legislation for it to clear the board. If it even gets approval this year I’ll eat a f*cking brick.

How can we convince another Alderperson to ignore courtesy and write the bill themself?

Last I saw in the press was that it has to go to the BoA for full approval. I’d imagine a board bill would be involved there. Though I could be wrong.
https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/local ... f94f342b0cA St. Louis board approved a series of variances for a new 30-story apartment tower in the Central West End, bringing the $135 million project closer to final approval from the Board of Aldermen.
Huh, wish they were specific. For instance a changing zoning or a tax abatement requires a board bill.
Do variances have to go before the board of aldermen? Because if so, Tina has a lot of board bills to introduce
If variances don’t have to go before the board of aldermen, I think this project is fully approved already. It’s not seeking a tax incentive anymore, so that skips out of that process.

Since they are not seeking incentives at this point, I don't see any need for a Board Bill. The variances are already approved from the Board of Adjustment. I'd guess things right now are progressing through the typical due diligence work of nailing down the final financing details, construction cost estimating, and detailed design work. That takes time.
^^^ Asking this as someone that isn’t 100% clear on the process. If this is true, why the delay?
They’re not looking for specific incentives (abatements or TIFs) so what’s the hold up? Why not send this one through and get it going?
Again, I’m just not clear on the process…just repeating what I saw in the press.
^ Appreciate the reply, that makes some sense.

I think what's left needed from the city is a building permit approval.
Well, then I hope construction gets going soon. They're probably doing some closed-door bidding right now.
Also, found these online explaining the facade materials and verifying that the height to the tip is 345ft (previous was 335ft based on a site plan showing the overhead).
Additionally, here are some floor plans showing the 1st, 5th, typical, 23rd and 30th levels before the shift southward. I doubt these have changed much since then. It seems like the 23rd floor will be home to premium units since they'll include their own terraces.
