Seeing all these unbuilt projects make me want to vomit specially this particular building including the may company proposal these to buildings would fit perfectly in our skyline.... I sure hope that we'll see at least 2-3 viable good high-rises in downtown in the near future...framer wrote: ↑Mar 04, 2017This plan would have included three buildings; a 30-story office tower, a 10-story office tower, and an 11-story hotel. You can see just a bit of the second office tower in the rendering, above the parking garage. The hotel would have been across Broadway, out of sight to the right. All three building would have been made of reflective glass and polished steel, with barrel-vaulted roof lines.
Metropolitan Square now occupies the site shown here (looking north down Broadway from Chestnut), and St. Louis Place occupies the proposed site of the hotel.

It's to be expected that any and all of Phase III will change with the whims of the market, the economy and the Cardinals.
