West Village Townhomes - 4201 West Pine

chriss752 · PostSep 02, 2019#12019-09-02T06:46+00:00

Located down the street from the Artizen Homes, this new project will be built on a vacant parcel. This will include 6 Townhomes ranging in price from $700,000 to over $1 Million. These are being developed by Kyle Hennessey. Halterman/Stix is marketing these. A construction fence has been recently erected, so construction is about to start.

Each home will include...
- Private Garage (all garages accessed from the alley).
- Private rooftop deck.
- Private elevator.

I quite like the white brick on this. Of course, these are only renderings, but I think this will turn out good. More density!

Having your own elevator must be nice. Do like the layout, though the interior furnishings in the renderings are a bit kitschy to me in some areas.

I like it. However, they need to include more interior renderings that show windows- only two out of the ten pics show a window, giving the impression that most of the rooms are cavernous and windowless.

Nice.

They sure snuck this one in under the radar.

A few more interior renderings. The ones I got don’t include many with windows.

I want to know more about this 70-story tower in North St. Louis...

Looks nice. And impressive that you can see the Woolworth Building and Frank Gehry’s 8 Spruce Street from the living room.

^It's odd though that they would name this Brooklyn high-rise "West Village Townhomes".

The developer is associated with the group that did Tribeca and Chelsea, so I guess this is continuing the New York naming themes.

Hahahaha good catch!

They're moving fast on these. Foundation work is well underway.

Will the surface parking lot just to the east stay?

The surface lot is west of this building. And it's owned by the same entity that owns the two office buildings west of Walgreen's on Lindell, Helix Realty. So, it will likely remain a surface lot until those properties are redeveloped.

I guess another way to put the question about the parking lot is as follows. Does the parking lot itself get a lot of use or does it look like the owner is sitting on the property for the right opportunity to come along?

The townhouse development with its vertical use of space might provide an opportunity for developing parking along similar lines and or the developer a means to support the buyout price if these townhouses sell well.

The height of this seems off compared to the streetscape. Correct scale and proportion are everything. Don’t think they got it right. Maybe the exterior finishes will help to visually mitigate this.

It does seem taller than the rendering. I'd guess they didn't bury the garage quite as deep to save $, or they didn't have enough room for the ramp off the alley...

^^ it's not so much the height that I find awkward but the orientation. "just turn it 90 degrees and cram it in there!"

Now, now, don't judge the building for it's orientation...

And BTW, I do believe TWSS.

But yes, it's too bad they couldn't work out a land swap with the parking lot owner to get a nice streetscape with the parking lot buried in the alley.

How much will this building prompt a near-term development of the parking lot next door into a building, perhaps at a similar height as the West Village Townhomes? Have to think that the building's height relative to its neighbors was a conscious decision related to further construction down the line. That said, all I have is speculation, I think reasonable, but without any firm insight.

This recent (last 25 years) home construction quality in America absolutely sucks. These suck. Everything in Shaw that UIC does sucks. All the crap in st.Charles sucks
