Thats an awesome building!

The entire outside of the building was tuckpointed about 2-3 months ago. That was quite a project, with the way the tile is on the outside. They have also put a new roof on. I can't wait to see what the interior ends up looking like.

Awesome!! Morgan is better looking than I've ever thought.

I went through the whole site and the before and after pictures are great.

It's going to have a 300 car parking lot??

I guess they can sell the spaces when the Billikens have basketball games, but that seems like an awfully large parking lot for this development.

Agreed. I'm sure they'll set out the usual "Event Parking" signs in front of the building during events to suck everyone's money away.

Anyway, those pictures look wonderful. I love that building, too. There's something about the way it looks on a sunny day when the sun goes straight down Lindell/Olive. It looks very...hmm...Neo-Classical/Italian Renaissance. I like it.

I noticed this bldg the last time I was in town. I also really like this bldg too. The floor plans taped to the window look huge too.

Rode by that building tonight during moonlight ramble and it looks good. I had to do a double take. It's one of the nicest buildings that I have seen. The inside is looking good too.

The area around it desperately needs some new development. It's a great building but it's surrounded by empty fields. An 300-car surface lot is going to squander any opportunity to create density, and isn't density what city living is all about? What was once an ultra-urban section of the city has degraded into fields and surface parking lots? With all that empty land, I can't understand why SLU wants to tear down miraculously perserved blocks along Locust rather than use the available land.

I was just looking at Integration's website and am very impressed with the work they have done. There are some lofts on Locust they did that are awesome. Very cool stuff. Can't imagine what the price tag on those bad boys were though.

Do you have a web address for that site?

I visited Integration's booth at the Lot expo on Saturday night and from what I was told the parking lot is only going to be 150 spaces. It sounds like they will be ready to move in around November 2005. It's looking great!

Also ..

We have 11 lofts upstairs in the linen lofts that will be complete next month.. 1-3 bedrooms. Each unit is different but they all are outstanding with stainless appliances, very high cielings, lots of windows, T1 line in the

building.. anyone looking ..these are a MUST see..

Call Jassen Johnson for a walk through!

So, what kinds of retail do you guys think would be good at this location?

It seems like the space would be great for a micro-brewery or sports bar, especially being next to SLU's new arena.

MattnSTL · PostMar 09, 2006#182006-03-09T04:52+00:00

There is already the Greisediek Brewpub going in. You nailed it with the microbrew idea. I don't know what else is going into the building though. This area really has great potential.

new-to-stl · PostMar 09, 2006#192006-03-09T13:38+00:00

Wow -- what a gorgeous building!

I'm always amazed to see how decorative these old industrial / warehouse / office buildings are for such a utilitarian purpose (originally). It's great to see them brought back to life!

jcity · PostMar 09, 2006#202006-03-09T18:19+00:00

Are you sure Greisediek is going in? How'd you hear that?

MattnSTL · PostMar 09, 2006#212006-03-09T18:27+00:00

^I got it from the thread that I linked to in my above post.

This was also posted by the developer mark Wegman in October.

Linen Lofts ..We are working with G-Brothers for the micro brewery .. and we hope that grows into a bottle plant and jobs .. We also have a jazz club and a restaurant great stir fry @ around 6.50-7.00 a plate comming in .. It's called Santo Bento and should be open in about 4 months!!

jcity · PostMar 13, 2006#222006-03-13T05:19+00:00

what about a bakery like Companion? Do you think this area could support this?

debaliviere · PostMar 13, 2006#232006-03-13T15:41+00:00

Probably, but it might work better closer to SLU. Then again, it would be close to Harris-Stowe, which doesn't have many dining options around it.

mark wegmann · PostJan 23, 2007#242007-01-23T03:19+00:00

Update needed here .. Santo- Bento is open for business in the Morgan building and doing better than expected because the food is very good and NOT expensive.

they also have 1 apartment available for rent @ 1.05 SF / month with all SS appliances and a great view of the new arena!

additionally we have a BBQ restaurant and a Pizza joint in the works.. with additional thing comming just across the street.. u won't recognize the area just south of Compton in 6-8 months!!!!

PostJan 23, 2007#252007-01-23T04:48+00:00

Sorry .. you won't recognize EAST of Compton ... that's EAST of Compton on Olive.. not south.
