Not entirely. The affected units all have the buildings southeast corner, which all include a balcony. Upon floor plan review, I can't find any units that will solely have a view of this building. Also, this structure won't be hard on the eyes IMO, so I don't see a problem. Some may even see facing this building as a plus, as you won't get loud street noises.

Maybe just holding fire (and/or their lenders are) to see how leasing goes at 212 Meramec, Ceylon and The Barton.

Is there a reason why none of these projects head downtown? Historic codes? Ability to charge higher rents? I feel like there is a positive swing somewhat downtown, in residential.. retail needs some help though. We need some cranes though.

Simple demand. Clayton is seeing other growth with jobs so people want to live there. Plus some taxes, incentives, crime states, etc etc. If downtown were to see a company expand like Centene is with Clayton, you'd hear of a lot more proposals for brand new residential following. People follow the jobs.

^^ I think Chaifetz pretty much has covered the bases. I also think one big difference that gets overlook when it comes to perception is downtown has a huge amount of existing building stock to be used up and therefore just on cost basis alone it is very difficult for new construction get off the ground. I think BPV can pull it off as it has huge subsidies behind it and a component/attachment in the Cardinals that can be sold like no where else in the region.

So my put it in context comment is a Jeff Arm, Railway Exchange rehab going forward with ground broken on BPV phase II will be huge for downtown just because the sheer amount of square footage is also huge.

I think the sight of new high rises actually going up in a highly visible area of Downtown (Ballpark Village) will finally give Downtown a boost to it's credibility. A 30-story tower rising up over the stadium will have a huge impact.

Applications were submitted today for site plan and ARB review.

And NIMBYs will pounce in 3... 2... 1...

They can pounce all they want.This project fits Clayton's master plan and is being built without subsidies. It's also replacing a parking lot.

I can't wait to see the cranes over Clayton these next few years...

I hope they add some details to the back of the building. Rather plain looking. Other than that, a cool addition to the skyline. The high rise wave continues.

Thanks for the update. I am pretty excited about this project. I pass by it every day. Can't wait to see it start up!

Hopefully all the new development in Clayton adds some density at the Metrolink.

Would be interesting to see new rider estimates when Centene is finished and other highrises top out.

It looks like in the next 20 years Brentwood will have a line of highrises facing Shaw. Looks good!

Will it keep its color? The gray is meh.

wabash · PostNov 07, 2017#452017-11-07T19:18+00:00

Looks great. Hopefully we start to see actual site activity soon. Seems like a no-brainer of a project. Particularly considering how quickly the Two Twelve Clayton apartments have leased up.

framer · PostNov 07, 2017#462017-11-07T21:02+00:00

With an unimpeded view of Shaw Park, I'll bet the units on the Southwest corner will get some of the highest rents in the area.

^Agree with two up, hopefully those renderings are simply form based outlines and not color, the originals are far preferable in that aspect.

With the amount of development going on in Clayton, and the amount of NIMBYS that have started to oppose projects (most recently and loudly Centene,) at what point does space begin to become an issue in Clayton? I say this in reference to the garage portion of this project. It would be nice to see the garage integrated into the podium of the building.

Business owners fretting that the surface parking lot's demise will discourage customers from coming in. "Where are they going to park?!!!!!"

Others think the building should be shorter because TRAFFIC. Oh no!

"However, Thom Schwetye, a former member of the commission/board, said any parking difficulty can be worked out, and “we obsess way too much about parking – this is a city, not a suburb.”

Take note, Clayton residents.
