^ is the proposed 3 story apartment building on the Lafayette Square parking lot an already known project that I've missed or is this news?
282 feet of frontage. Could be pretty big. And built on surface parking!

^ I need renderings now! btw, got a comment on twitter about it not happening with Chris Goodson as owner... not sure what that was all about but apparently he has done other projects in LS.
I'm really excited about the National Register nomination for 2647 Locust, which was built in 1902 for WashU's Dental College after a move from its earlier home in the 1800 block of Locust (which now is a surface parking lot). The 1902 building was recently purchased so it looks like redevelopment awaits.
Looks better but why remove the building in the middle and just leave the wall. How many parking spaces is that adding? Not worth it to me. That parking lot will never even be close to full

It looks like it adds about twenty spaces to a lot with a little more than a hundred. That's not an insignificant difference. I'm not completely sure I'm sold, but this is starting to look better.

I hadn't noticed that the Walgreens actually incorporates the facade of the existing building. That's actually a nice touch.

I'm on board with the Bevo Biergarten, though I agree with the contingency on the materials selected; that'll make a big difference how it interacts with the current structure. That area that's currently a parking lot, but was previously (originally?) a patio hosting a less elaborate biergarten.
For fun, here's the mill at Grand Opening. I hadn't realized that 2017 will be its 100th year in St. Louis:

^ bolds mine. Still, looks like a great opportunity to introduce pedestrian-scale activity to Gravois.Their proposal includes renovating Bevo Mill into a coffeehouse with daily breakfast and lunch;creating a beer garden on the original site of the Bevo Mill Beer Garden scheduled to open in time for the 2016 Octoberfest;and attaching a new brewery/distillery to the existing building, which will be used as event space for live performances, art fairs, Sunday brunches, etc. The apartment on the second and third floors inside the facility will be renovated into a bed-and-breakfast.

^ I had to laugh when I saw Qooba Foundation was the org behind the mosque... at first I read that as Qdoba!

I think I've met a few people that would regard tacos as holy symbols. And they do have a quite lunar shape.
The site for the mosque is a mess. They are going to put parking and then wall off that part of Jefferson? And we are proposing to put a Metrolink down that street? Who can I complain to? Seriously?imran wrote: ↑Jan 20, 2017https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/d ... 2017-2.pdf

I'm sure you have your choice of various apathetic people in power. Seriously though, I think I will go hoarse talking about the need for a City-wide Form-Based Code. Without it, incremental development will frequently evade us.ImprovSTL wrote: ↑Jan 20, 2017The site for the mosque is a mess. They are going to put parking and then wall off that part of Jefferson?

But there is a code in that neighborhood and according to the docs they are not building it to code for "personal safety" of their congregation.imran wrote: ↑Jan 21, 2017I'm sure you have your choice of various apathetic people in power.
