Any pics of the recent progress??
They've started to install the facade within the last couple of days. So far it's pre-cast concrete from what I've seen.

I have some photos I will try to post, probably this weekend.
Anyone know what stores are going to be on the street level?
I've heard Qdoba, can anyone verify?
Nice pics, but could you please start hitting enter between them.
The renderings depicted 5 floors. Are they putting on the 5th now or has this been downsized to 4?

There is a sign up now (I don't know how long its been up) verifying Qdoba and Jimmy John's as tenants. I'm sure some people aren't happy with that, but they could definitely done much worse if they had to go with chains (which they didn't).
How's this project coming along?
Does anyone have recent pics they can post?

The crane is down and most of the facade is complete. Looks like quite a bit of work still to go on the inside, but it is progressing nicely. This building along with the tower has really filled in the gap on the stretch of Euclid. Sorry, no pics.

I can only add that it looks pretty good, one or two balconies were left to be installed - great addition to Euclid IMO and a great use of the lot - it's a deep building.

Indy stuff would be cooler but they could definitely do worse than Qdoba & Jimmy Johns.

I feel like we're being overrun with Qdobas.

I don't think JJ and Qdoba are that bad, however, there is A Qdoba at Sarah and Lindell and a Jimmy John's at Spring and Forest Park, so they are kinda close...

The JJ should fill the gap between the aforementioned location and that of Hanley in Maplewood. The one on FPP can now focus on SLU and points east, to meet up somewhere with the downtown location. Similarly, Q can fill in a void between the Lindell location and that of Hanley in Maplewood. Also, they are walkable from the hospital, so they will become a nice, quick lunch destination for lots of BJC workers.

Opus is rebranding its Park East Lofts project as Nine North Euclid to give it a chic new identity and to differentiate it from Park East Tower, so I thought it deserved a brand new/redefined thread of its own. It even has a new website:
http://www.ninenortheuclid.com
I know I’m not the only one here who is absolutely enthralled by this development! It embodies all the elements of a truly urban building, through and through. My favorite aspects of this project:
It was built on a parking lot -- no building had to come down to make way for it, and it is so great that the almighty automobile is finally taking a back seat to urbanism in this city. Nine North is creating life on a formerly dead space.
It is modern -- how refreshing to see a new building that isn’t made to look old! Finally some truly contemporary new construction!
It is dense -- this building packs a lot of punch. It is built right up to the street, demonstrating an urban form that would make Jane Jacobs salivate. With living above, retail below, a pool and numerous other amenities, this sucker has all the trappings to promote a truly urban lifestyle.
It is innovative -- St. Louis has typically been used to either lofts or traditional condos, but this project mixes both into one unique urban living style. It has the openness and versatility of lofts, but the sophistication and luxury finish of condos. What a combo!
It contains streetfront retail -- this project is capitalizing on all the qualities that make the CWE an attractive, lively neighborhood by adding new amenities to the streetscape and offering its residents a lot more at their doorstep.
It creatively hides parking -- this is something we don’t see enough of in St. Louis. I love how this building offers a public parking garage to accommodate visitors to the neighborhood, but the entrance was thoughtfully placed on a sidestreeet (Buckingham Ct), so as not to disrupt the walkability of Euclid.
It symbolizes optimism -- in an age of canceled and stalled projects, Nine North is a bright spot and a true success story. It is one project raises the bar for St. Louis development, proving that solid, new urban design can work here. The folks at Opus have not only proposed impressive new projects in St. Louis City, they have also delivered them, despite an ailing economy. We need more of that progressive foresight in this city!
If I were on the market for a new place right now, this would be at the top of my list. It has all the qualities I look for in urban living. It is obvious that Opus is one company that definitely gets it.
**MODERATORS** Please don’t merge this with the old Park East Lofts thread. Nine North is a brand new image for the project, so it deserves a brand new thread.

^Definitely a great project and you did a good job of articulating the positive features it provides to the built environment. The city could really use more buildings like this one.

AHHH - look at the shadow cast by the Park East Tower!!!!! My garden will never grow.

That roof garden should get some summer sun in the morning and the afternoon. Other than that, yeah, it will be in the shadow of the Park East Tower. Of course that tower isn't the only reason the roof deck will be in shadow for most of the year; the massing of Nine North Euclid itself will block significant amounts of light. Not saying they shouldn't have built the deck, but it is what it is.
And the roof garden will get really cold in the winter. In addition to the southern light being blocked, it is largely exposed to the north. The buildings across the street will funnel the wind directly at the garden. Not good for energy efficiency for many of the units, especially with the significant amounts of glass. Hopefully they used insulated glazing.
But even with those problems, it's a great project.
