Northside Regeneration

^ my main issue is the McKee has barely gotten a gas station and grocery built in what, 2 decades? What at all makes us think he will all of the sudden pull off something even remotely close to the scale of this? He couldn’t even get an urgent care built when they are going up all over the place.

I hope for the best and maybe there isn’t anyone else out there with plans but so far all we have seen from him is 2 buildings and what borderlines on tax fraud schemes. So my optimism on anything he touches is very low. He has had a lot of words and ideas and he has followed thru on very little.

I would like to say that seeing Clayco and the Lamar Johnson Collaborative on the renderings could be a good sign. Maybe this means that McKee is getting Clayco/CRG involved as a development partner. If not, then at least it means that there's a real architecture firm that can be traced back from Northside Regeneration instead of some renderings we've seen that we didn't know much about. In other words, this just seems more refined. This is 1500 acres/2.3 square miles we are talking about. This is no small undertaking and honestly, this puts to shame every single project we have seen in St. Louis in terms of scale by far.

If Clayco/CRG/Lamar Johnson Collaborative are in fact all involved now, then I'll amend my previous pessimistic statements. That said, some of what's being marketed is obviously pie in the sky (i.e. the rugby stadium and an insane amount of retail / office space), but I have faith in Clayco to actually get something done.

2 building permits for the Homer G. Philips urgent care hospital were issued this month.

The first was applied for in September and was issued on October 2nd. Amount totals $800,000.

The second was applied for on October 8th and issued the same day for plumbing. Amount totals $350,000.

These are the first permits issued since April 1st, 2019.

I'd echo Laife and hopefully what's happening now is actually and at the same time sadly was the "long" plan in the first place...

Get NGA into the area and get that under construction and then begin to build connections into the city... and the MLS stadium and work going on at the same time being the connector. Throw in the Hodiamont Trail + Brickline Greenway and McKee finally has some sort of viable path to make some of those projects above make sense from a developer's standpoint. It does seem like proper timing for all of this to work out finally.

Stltoday - After huge fire captivated St. Louis, the remaining mess tells a deeper story

"We have over 150 buildings to demolish, and they will happen in sequence,” he said.

The building that's for sale that they want to destroy. Looks like a great piece of CITY.

That's a gorgeous building. What a shame.

Perhaps the choking amount of green space in the area has formed the island?

"We are on this island, on the North Side, and we’ve put millions of dollars into beautifying the area around here and adding green space,” Executive Director Carol Clarkson said after answering the front door."

"She’d like to buy the burned, vacant warehouse property to turn it into more green space."

Yesterday was a beautiful day to enjoy some McKee-owned greenspace in that area.

Is McKee's GreenLeaf Market closed, and is it permanent?

Never been there, but I see some folks on their Facebook saying they've been closed lately.

Love the new art installation.

Much better placemaking than "green space"

I used to own a small art gallery. We once had an artist who wanted to blow up a car (on private property in the country) and have it transported to the City and park it on the street in front of the gallery. We didn't think the City would go for that, so we passed on that idea.

^ The City probably would have just put a ticket on it and left it there

Strange, I'll go by tomorrow to see what's up. They must have been doing particularly poorly closing during COVID. I'm pretty sure the pandemic single handedly brought Field's Foods back from the brink. This was in the comments of Green Leaf's most recent FB post (Dec 22nd)

There's a notice on it dated for 1/1. So it'll end up being there for two-ish weeks assuming nothing is towed over the holiday weekend. Meanwhile everything of remaining value is removed.

Not sure why they boarded up for COVID.

Drove past today and couldn't snag a picture but there is now a foundation in place for the urgent care in Pruitt Igoe (not talking about the fake little corner foundation put up last year)

MattnSTL · PostDec 31, 2020#6712020-12-31T00:46+00:00

^The foundation has been there for a couple months now. They're taking their time getting anything built. So faster than the three years the joke of a corner wall sat there, but still slow.

eee123 · PostJan 26, 2021#6722021-01-26T21:30+00:00

Sounds like Greenleaf is still closed "due to COVID," a month later.

Also, Chris got some pics of the hospital that apparently is actually under construction.
