2/8/20 - 267 available. 12.5% based on 305 units.newstl2020 wrote: ↑Jan 19, 2020Figure it will be interesting to track. As of today 1/19/20 the website currently has 269 apartments available for lease. Don't know if this is current but from an original plan of 305 apartments this is sitting at 12% leased. With floor plans going live less than a week ago, watching the absorption rate for these will be telling for the next tower in the CWE.

I went on one of those tourist architecture boat tours in Chicago and was in awe of the skyscrapers. Jeannne Gang doing a building here just makes me so hopeful and proud. I love watching this thing rise. It's a joy of living in this time. I hope this makes the hoi polloi notice good architecture and learn more about it and STL in general, and challenge other great designers/architects of our time to take interest in STL. Architecture is an art form that is free and open to enjoyment/criticism from everyone...passersby. It can change you. So happy this building is OURS.
I keep seeing lots of buzz in the national architecture press about Gang's 11 Hoyt in Brooklyn and the Solar Carve on the High Line. Not much about The One Hundred, though, even though I think it's a better design than the other two. Maybe once it's finished people outside of STL will take notice.

11 Hoyt is Studio Gang light. Just as 8 Spruce Street is Frank Gehry light. You can tell these New York towers are just concrete boxes with wavy, articulated facade panels tacked onto it. Sure, it looks NICE, but it's not on the same level of inventiveness as the unique floor plates of a One Hundred or Aqua in the case of Studio Gang, or just about anything else that Frank Gehry did.framer wrote: ↑Feb 08, 2020I keep seeing lots of buzz in the national architecture press about Gang's 11 Hoyt in Brooklyn and the Solar Carve on the High Line.

Honestly, it's probably height as much as anything. 620' of quirky architecture (11 Hoyt) is often gonna get more press than 380' of quirky architecture. Agree that The One Hundred is a way more innovative design, though.framer wrote: ↑Feb 08, 2020I keep seeing lots of buzz in the national architecture press about Gang's 11 Hoyt in Brooklyn and the Solar Carve on the High Line.

My pipe dream would be for Studio Gang's next project in STL to be on the Drury Laclede's Landing lot or another nearby empty lot. I could see there being appeal in building a bold tower drawing in influences from the Arch, river, and Eads Bridge rested in the backdrop of the Arch.
^Mine would be on the large parking lot on Broadway just west of Pointe 400 (nee Pet Milk). A big tower there would be a real skyline-changer.
This is very off brand for me but I would love to see a pencil tower in the lot at 16th & Washington. A very sculptural round tower centered in a plaza taking the entire block.
Other than that, I'm solidly anti-setback.
To keep things slightly more on-topic, I'm still surprised how much more popular the balcony units are. To me, I don't think balconies are worth the extra rent cost, plus they're the smaller units than the other floors. But then again, I don't think One Hundred residents are penny pinching.

Hopefully Studio Gang partners with the Koplar family to build an accenting tower at Lindell & Kingshighway. Maybe 425' with an exclusive design that would draw architecture lovers from across the country to marvel at both towers.
Plus, you would need to keep your apartment tidy or keep your blinds closed, since your neighbor to the south will get a full view into your apartment every time they step onto their terrace.aprice wrote: ↑Feb 10, 2020To keep things slightly more on-topic, I'm still surprised how much more popular the balcony units are.

I agree with you on the balcony. In high rises they are rarely used. When I lived in the Mansion House some 20 years ago the only time it got used was the 4th ofaprice wrote: ↑Feb 10, 2020This is very off brand for me but I would love to see a pencil tower in the lot at 16th & Washington.

^^ Gorgeous! Can't wait to see these shots when the panels are complete.

Maybe this is part of the reason why balconies are only one every 5th floorRooster wrote: ↑Feb 12, 2020I agree with you on the balcony. In high rises they are rarely used.

Put me in the other column. I would never buy a condo without an outdoor space. Or in this case rent an apartment.
^^^nothing quite like waking up and taking a step outside with a coffee in hand. With a view over FP too... that's unmatched.
Those Mansion House and Gentry's Landing balconies are pretty sketchy, and don't feel at all substantial. They also don't offer any protection from the wind whatsoever. I wouldn't spend a lot of time on those either...Rooster wrote: ↑Feb 12, 2020I agree with you on the balcony. In high rises they are rarely used.

On 100, the outdoor spaces are actually terraces (there is an apartment underneath them), and are somewhat enveloped by the solid glass and metal railings, and the scalloped and angled facade. I bet those will be very popular entertainment spots in the summer and fall.
Yeah, it ruins my day every time I'm on one of the Mansion House balconies and it crumbles to the ground.urbanitas wrote: ↑Feb 14, 2020Those Mansion House and Gentry's Landing balconies are pretty sketchy, and don't feel at all substantial.

I lived on the 17th floor at the Gentry's Landing for a short while back in the day, and I agree that those balconies don't exactly inspire confidence. Even if they were and are structurally sound (and I have zero reason to doubt they wouldn't be) I went outside maybe a handful of times just because it didn't inspire a sense of security.

Now that we've started to see the metal panels go up, I'm really curious to see how the garage screen turns out. The overall building looks fantastic when looking up, but the garage could really make or break the street-level appearance.
