I think it would be great. Have we had a DT specific blog since CountOnDowntown? I wonder if Frank still lurks around here.

I had missed a tract when I posted that so here's the 16 (not 15) tracts in the city above 10,000 ppl./sq. mi. in the 2023 5 yr. ACS:STLAPTS wrote: ↑Jan 07, 2025Do you have link ? I am curious what other tracts hit 10k plus.STLrainbow wrote: ↑Jan 07, 2025The 1255 census tract that encompasses most of Downtown West topped 10,000 ppl./sq.mi. in the 2023 (2019-2023) 5 yr. ACS. (1 of 15 tracts in the city above the density level. For comparison, Indy only has 2, with both of those downtown.) The tract grew 14% between the 2018 and 2023 ACS periods.
The tract for Downtown (1256) grew at a slower pace of 6%. It's density is 6,500pp./sq.mi. and has a higher percentage of Park and other land uses that make residential density more challenging. Need about 3,000 more residents east of Tucker to reach the 10k density level.
1255 in Downtown West
1124, 1191.01 and 1191.02 in the Central West End (1191.02 is our highest at 15,600)
1172 in Shaw
1161, 1162.01 and 1163,02 in TGS
1164 and 1241 in Gravois Park
1242 in Benton Park West
1155 & 1157 in Dutchtown
1141,01 in North Hampton and 1143 in Southhampton
1024 in Princeton Hts. (east of Gravois; includes some of Bevo Mill)
Also, you might be interested in checking out the helpful site Census Reporter that has tract data on a variety of areas including density. The link should take you to the 1256 tract in Downtown and then you can play around with it on the interactive map.

Anyone know anything about 1701 Pine Street of the old 7-11 and adjacent garage? Would be nice to see new residences here.
Thank you. Very insightful. It would not suprise me if we continue to see more and more southside neighborhood hit the 10k mark. It really shows the effectiveness of missing middle housing.STLrainbow wrote: ↑Jan 08, 2025I had missed a tract when I posted that so here's the 16 (not 15) tracts in the city above 10,000 ppl./sq. mi. in the 2023 5 yr.

3 weeks later, Biz Journal rides my coattails.
One thing tho, as I reported a month ago the downtowns. US Bank tower will be a hub for the bank and the statement I think accidentally confirms it

St Louis has been a hub city for US Bank since 2022 I believe.
They have something like 25 hub cities.

@dbInSouthCity ^ now only if you can predict how long it will take for pedestrians to walk sidewalks again after thunderstormageddon, they completely blocked the cross walks for pedestrains with plowed snow...why?

Don’t think so, in Nov 2022 they said they liked to get back to the offices but didn’t designate hubs, still haven’t publicly but few weeks ago employees got their assignmentsDebaliviere91 wrote: ↑Jan 08, 2025St Louis has been a hub city for US Bank since 2022 I believe.

U.S. Bank entered this market though acquisition, where Firstar bought U.S. Bank but retained their name. Firstar acquired Mercantile, which was based in St. Louis. Most of the home grown banks from our area have been acquired through market consolidation.

Whether StL is technically a “Hub” for USBank is irrelevant. Arguably its most important business unit is run out of StL

Agreed. They basically call any office location more than a retail bank a hub, inclusive of St. Louis.

Because they are consolidating buildings in their largest markets. We have 2 "hubs" in Metro STL - the Tower and Earth City.
Not directly about STL Downtown but the "state of downtown" department stores.
Macys is closing a few of their last downtown stores including:
Downtown LA
Downtown Philadelphia (a real blow to historic property)
Downtown Brookyln (a real blow to historic property)
They will close SOCO Center here in STL. And one in north KC as well.
66 total stores in the next few months.
Mosr of their Downtown stores now shuttered across the country. Chicago (old Marshall Fields) is a sitting duck now for closure IMO.

It’s the business unit.

Not all their c-suite is in Minneapolis. The head of global hr works out of the downtown STL office.

More bad news for SOCO Center. I always thought that mall would continue to survive off it's location (no other nearby malls) but this might be the killing blow. They already blocked off the entire second floor and the consolidated first floor still has a bunch of vacancies.matguy70 wrote: ↑Jan 10, 2025Not directly about STL Downtown but the "state of downtown" department stores.

I wonder if they will make it to another Christmas season, I can't think of another mall in the region in as dire of straights as SOCO right now.
