Agreed ^ That sign is amazing. There were a few different shots of it floating around last week including a drone shot with the MLS stadium:

I don’t know if I should post this here but Tucker BLvd road diet, protected bike lanes, and bus island for 2.0 Miles from Washington Avenue to Chateau Ave are coming hopefully at the EOY. I wish it was now but still good news.

South Broadway is the 2 mile project. Tucker is about a mile and I don’t think it’s happening until fy 24. I tried to get the city to forward fund it and do it now and get fed money later but idk if that’s happened. I’ll ask around

I read that piece as the Compton bridge demo/rebuild will start before EOY, not the other projects.
The board bill seems to indicate they’re moving forward with all three. But its not really definitive and there aren’t any dates.

I'm glad the Compton bridge is next in line, that thing is a tragedy waiting to happen.

Peoples National Bank corporate HQ appears to be no more at the corner of Olive/9th. Wouldn’t be surprised if they relocated to southern Illinois, which is home to 21 of their 26 branches.
Has it ever been downtown? They opened their corporate/operations center in Mt. Vernon, Illinois way back in 2004…

Even had a PNB corporate office sign hanging from the building until a few weeks ago.

Interesting. Looks like a tiny little meeting space more than anything. Hopefully they went to Mt. Vernon where their primary operations are.
A shooting mid-day on a Sunday in the middle of downtown is concerning. No real details.

From what I saw it may have started inside the Escape Room
^Those escape rooms are getting a little too realistic these days.
Looks like convention and hotel numbers are expected to get back to pre-pandemic level this year, with estimated revenue being even greater than 2019. https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/new ... 5#cxrecs_s

It was a supposed gang dispute from people living in the Cochran apartments. Person involved was 13. It had nothing to do with Escape the Room.MattnSTL wrote:^Those escape rooms are getting a little too realistic these days.

The Great Downsizing: These St. Louis companies are looking to drop 1.5M square feet in real estate. Here are the details
The shift to flexible work environments, and increased embrace of working from home, has led some of St. Louis' biggest and most high-profile companies to attempt to reduce how much real estate they occupy. Here are examples of several that, combined, total nearly 1.5 million square feet off office they're either trying to sell or sublease because they no longer need it.

BAYER AG
Downsizing move: The German company last week said it was putting its 95-acre, four-building west campus on the market as it envisions “a future that will require less physical office space than before.” Bayer acquired two Creve Coeur campuses with its $65 billion acquisition of St. Louis-based Monsanto in 2018. Bayer’s North American crop science division will continue to operate from the eastern part of the campus while Bayer explores the sale of four buildings on 95 acres west of Lindbergh and south of Olive boulevards. Included in the offering: Two office buildings totaling 449,000 square feet, a 36,000-square-foot data center, a 56,000-square-foot dining facility and a 5,000-square-foot utility building.
What's next: Bayer said it will retain and update its buildings east of Lindbergh, which historically housed Monsanto's C-Suite and various administrative functions such as marketing, sales, product supply, accounting and finance. A spokesman said those buildings would become "open and more collaborative spaces" as the company moves to a "neighborhood environment where employees have a neighborhood based on function and have the ability to go into a variety of areas on a flexible basis."
CENTENE CORP.
Downsizing move: The Clayton-based managed health care giant and Fortune 50 firm told investors last month that it is actively reevaluating its real estate footprint as workplace flexibility and work-from-home has proven an effective tool for recruiting and retaining talent. Sarah London, the company's vice chairman, told analysts in a conference call Feb. 8 that the company has evaluated a quarter of its total real estate holdings and "sees opportunities for material downsizing of our footprint." "The shift to work at home and enhanced flexibility will have a meaningful impact on our ability to recruit and retain talent, but it also means we need to reevaluate our real estate footprint," she said.
What's next: At least locally, a lot remains unclear. Prior to the pandemic, the company completed construction on a 27-story office tower as part of a $770 million expansion of its Clayton headquarters. But a second-phase of that project, including another new office tower, hotel, residential units, a civic auditorium and parking, was put on hold in December 2020. A Centene spokeswoman this week said the company would not comment on its local real estate activity. There's some evidence, though, of the company shedding some of its space. Centene acquired Phoenix, Arizona-based Magellan Health Services last year, and 150,000 of the 232,000 square feet that Magellan occupied in Maryland Heights, built in 2002, is now being marketed for sublease, according to Colliers.
ASCENSION
Downsizing move: St. Louis-based health system Ascension in December 2020 announced it would be vacating two office spaces following a decision to have most of its 1,200 area employees work remotely. The company, the largest Catholic and nonprofit health care system in the country, at the time said it would be leaving and subleasing 75,000 square feet in total: 61,820 square feet at 11775 Borman Drive in Westport and 12250 Weber Hill Road in south St. Louis County.
What's next: Ascension said at the time that it would maintain its Clayton headquarters, as well as other locations in north St. Louis County, Westport and the Cortex district in the city of St. Louis that combined total about 155,000 square feet, though Nick Ragone, the company's executive vice president and chief marketing officer, said the company would continue reviewing its real estate footprint. Reached last week, Ragone said Ascension has made no further changes since its announcement in December 2020.
Caleres headquarters
CALERES
Downsizing move: The publicly traded footwear retailer in April 2021 said it was putting its nine-acre Clayton headquarters up sale as it reevaluated its office needs during the pandemic. The company's campus includes nine acres and a 275,000-square-foot office building at 8300 Maryland Ave., a 66,005-square-foot office building at 8400 Maryland and an adjacent parking lot on Topton Way. CFO Ken Hannah said the pandemic had made it clear "that our office space needs have changed." The move would give the company "an unprecedented opportunity to redefine our workplace and find tailored office space that meets the reality, flexibility and needs of our St. Louis" workers. The company employs around 700 locally.
What's next: At the time of its announcement last year, the headquarters was described as a prominent site that would "draw intense interest" from potential buyers. Caleres didn't respond to several requests for comment, but said in a regulatory filing in December that it "continues to evaluate offers and explore relocation and redevelopment options." It said it does not expect a completed sale within the next 12 months.
ANSIRA: One of the largest marketing agencies in St. Louis, Ansira is marketing the 135,840 square feet it occupies at 2300 Locust St. in Downtown West for sublease as the company shifts to remote work.
US BANK: The largest bank in St. Louis by deposits, U.S. Bank sold its 36-story downtown office tower, U.S. Bank Plaza, for $40 million in October. After that, it leased back 61,000 square feet less than it occupied before the deal.
BANK OF AMERICA: The second-biggest bank in St. Louis by deposits, Bank of America is looking to sublease 150,331 square feet it previously occupied at Bank of America Plaza, 800 Market St., according to a report by real estate firm Colliers International. A brochure for the tower says that floors 22 through 27 are available for sublease, with leases that end in 2024 or 2025.

I know it's Downtown West, but Wells Fargo employees start going back March 14th with a 3 in/2 out schedule.
