The shell of the building appears to be reaching completion.
Here is the website for the Senior Living phase of Manhasset Village. This is rising on the most eastern portion.

The massive apt building
Noise, pollution, added heat from all the cars and asphalt, typical questionable construction. No thank you.

^ They have a $525M view, or a view of a $525M highway, whichever.

The new apt complex is called EVO and parts of it are open for move-ins.

I think the flat-roof building looks fine. The other one looks like a McMansion on steroids.
Toured Evo Apartments Today: We were interested in this building due to its proximity to tranist. We asked about public transit accommodations and suggestions, and their response was "mmm we don't really look into that. If you want to get to a metro I guess you should take an Uber. I don't think there are any buses around here."
HOW CAN YOU BUILD AN APARTMENT BUILDING WITHIN 0.5 MILES OF 2 TRANIST STOPS AND NOT INFORM YOUR CUSTOMERS! Also their website incorrectly states that they are a premier option in DOWNTOWN ST. LOUIS. Since when is Richmond Heights considered Downtown St. Louis?

Noticed on my way out that there's construction signs up at the lot next to EVO living. More apartments?
Edit: (The sign says Fischer Homes, so it could just be they are putting up a marketing sign up there, as google shows they have an office there).
Edit 2 (lol): Looks like Gateway Heights is the name of the subdivision.

I remember when the 1940s-era apartment buildings were torn down. A friend of mine lived in one in the early 2000s when we were both students at Webster. She got to paint the walls however she liked, since she was the last tenant in the apartment. I'd assumed the empty lots would be developed pretty quickly, and I'm surprised it's taken this long.
For what it's worth, Evo seems to have TERRIBLE ratings on Google.

These and the ones down on Texas have that modern farmhouse look that’s so popular in single family homes nationally.
It would be great if this development, EVO, and surrounding multi-family jumped in on a commuter shuttle service.
Many who live in this area are likely working in the Brentwood retail corridor or between Clayton and CWE. No immediate bus service and poor pedestrian infrastructure.
A shuttle between Eager/McCutcheon Rd and Clayton every 15 mins during commuting hours would be 10/10.
Here is the existing 35 min bus ride to downtown Clayton.

The 2 (serving Wash U and The Loop) and 57X (serving BJC) are an 8ish minute walk - less that .5 a mile. And Metrolink is just under a mile away. The development can offer whatever amenities it wants, but when its major selling points are "it's close to 40!" and "behind a popular strip mall!" and the residents are choosing to live in brand new apartments or houses that are not immediately transit adjacent and overlooking a highway, I have little sympathy for their additional transit wants.addxb2 wrote: ↑Sep 30, 2021It would be great if this development, EVO, and surrounding multi-family jumped in on a commuter shuttle service.

To be fair, I don't think people who will buy these future homes are going to be working in the retail corridor, based upon the price point, so they probably are car focused and don't have any additional transit wants. So no sympathy needed. Not sure I see much demand for any shuttle service here.
Not suggesting we give anyone sympathy. Suggesting it would be great if private developers wanted to offer a transportation alternative. This area has a good density and abysmal pedestrian infrastructure, it’s ideal for shuttle.
I’ve lived in apartment complexes where everyone owned a car yet every morning the private apartment shuttle to the local transit stop was at capacity.
That’s a trend yet to show up in STL… but this would be a great place to see it tested.

Not exactly linked to Manhasset Village but found a footprint/vision of what Galleria could become on a mall redevelopment in the Bay area, also named Galleria. The potentional has been there and actually surprised in some respects that Boulevards next phase hasn't broken ground yet, that second hotel @ Big Bend & Clayton wasn't built or even the that something more substantial then a stand alone bank branch was built next University tower.
But here is too some wishfull thinking for Richmond Heights which could have a dense little urban area in itself.
