With my capital budget I purchased a new office building for my business but when I explained to my employees that meant the operations budget was lower and their salaries needed to be cut in half they all quit. Please send help, I'm about to go bankrupt!
MattnSTL is correct. The project has been in the works for a couple of years. They are fundraising approximately 100M for it. As of today, they are considerably short of that goal and subsequently won't be breaking ground anytime soon.Auggie wrote: ↑Apr 03, 2025Capital improvement budgets are a thing that exists and aren't used on employee pay.

Don't remember saying he was wrong about that, I didn't even engage that part of his post.STLAPTS wrote: ↑Apr 03, 2025MattnSTL is correct. The project has been in the works for a couple of years.

Is the old SLU Hospital/Desloge Tower still being used as a hospital? Haven't driven by at night in a while and noticed it was lit up like it's still the main hospital.
From what I understand about it, it's administrative offices or something. Nothing patient supporting.Auggie wrote: ↑Nov 07, 2025Is the old SLU Hospital/Desloge Tower still being used as a hospital? Haven't driven by at night in a while and noticed it was lit up like it's still the main hospital.
The last I heard it was going to be turned into administrative offices but capacity at the new hospital has been over 100% and they have been using for overflow. Not sure if the long term plans are still for administrative or not.

The average baby boomer is 70 now. Hospitals are going to operate beyond capacity for the next 15 years. StL is in a really good position
This really has a presence driving east on 40. I hope whatever material is used that isn't glass doesn't look too cheap.

I wish the glass curtain wall extended further down. The solid panels on the mockup across the street seem a little cheap looking.
