It is really pathetic that the corner of Lindell and Euclid has an empty building sitting on it and an under-utilized parcel of land in this prime area of the CWE.
Leave it to people like Allison Ferring to bankrole this lawsuit to stop Opus from building a building to add more density to the city. Lyda Krewson was on board with the change in design and once again progress is squashed. It must be nice to sit in an ivory tower (4545) and throw money out to get what you and a few other people want.
How sad. This is one reason, I believe, why major national developers have stayed away from St. Louis. Hopefully, Opus will take a risk and build downtown. It's time.
Can anyone please tell me if the old St. Louis Heart Association building still standing at 4643 Lindell Blvd.? I worked for SLHA 35 years ago - the building shows up on Google Earth and Maps, so I presume it's still there, but I keep reading about plans for its demolition - thank you.
Also, does anyone know who presently occupies this building? If anyone is in the area and can take a few photos to send me, I would be very grateful - thank you!
Thanks, Moorlander - yes, I had seen these posts from December, 2007 indicating the failure of the OPUS project, but was still wondering if anything else had taken place with regard to the property at 4643 Lindell since then.
former_res don't run away - some of us are nicer than Moorlander on this forum!
The buidling's just sitting there. The portion of Euclid south of Lindell is set to get a multi-million dollar makeover and a nearly block-long new building on the northwest corner of Forest Park Parkway and Euclid. Unfortunately that still leaves vacant lots at Forest Park Parkway/Euclid, West Pine/Euclid, TWO at Lindell and Euclid (with the dentist office on another) and that's not to mention all the vacant area on the block defined by Lindell/Kingshighway/West Pine/Euclid . . .
whatever goes here, I want it to be called Patti Teper Tower, in defiance of that idiot who opposed Opus' original second tower. move to chesterfield lady.
^ I agree. I also think that this corner is better suited to a ~10 story building. The 20+ buildings should go on the next block west and especially the corner of Kingshighway/Lindell. Of course the southwest corner of Euclid/Lindell would be perfect for a very large building as well.
