Not sure when Brick River's official opening date is but they have been granted an occupancy permit so I'm thinking their construction is complete.

^ awesome... I'll put it down as the year's first completion! STL Mag has a late January opening, btw.

To follow up, curious if someone can fill in the details on the Biz Journals article that references half billion in 2018 downtown developments. Assume BPV II and Jeff arms. Is Railway Ex the third one? or 300? Anything in the article that gives some additional info or insight on the respective projects.

https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/new ... anned.html

Three new commercial developments that are expected to start construction this year figure to drastically alter the downtown St. Louis landscape for years to come. Combined, the projects represent nearly half a billion dollars in new development in downtown after years of inactivity.

^jefferson arms, bpv and the other tower by BPV proposed. You can scroll through the pics (non mobile) without a subscription.

dredger, the 300 S. Broadway rep also said they were taking into consideration how to respond to the Pres Review Board decision but hoped to get started this summer if all goes well. I asked bizjourno why RR/X was not highlighted as it too hopes to proceed this year if everything falls into place and the answer was the project was on the biggest projects list but just not featured.

^ & ^^ Thanks

RX might or might not be one of the most exciting announcements of 2018 if they can pull off Square as anchor tenant along with a decent retail announcement to kick start the project. Gut feeling/Speculation is that in time Squire will become an acquisition target and the sooner and the bigger the St Louis presence the better. Might get a Indy situation where Salesforce came in, bought out and built it bigger.

^I believe Visa currently owns 10% of Square. That would appear to be the most likely acquisition candidate, however it has been on quite the tear throughout the last year and is starting to get to a point where their size is beginning to limit this possibility. $16B market cap as of today's trading and that is before any type of premium. Their are plenty of companies that could easily swallow that, but certainly many less than at the beginning of last year when they were around $5B.


Going to try to not go completely off the rails OT here but it fits in the Square RRX discussions. I have been downright dumbfounded how more mature companies of scale and size have not begun to move out of San Fran to midwestern cities, or at least locating major operations elsewhere. They could save gigantic amounts of money on physical office costs, payroll costs, and these employees would enjoy a much higher standard of living here as opposed to what they get for the money in San Fran. Square and Twitter are two good examples of this, I get the "talent recruitment" argument and the talent pools in San Fran and Seattle, but I find it very hard to believe if they located here they could not recruit significant talent from hundreds of Universities throughout the midwest to a major office in St. Louis.

^ I don't get it either. Downtown St. Louis and CORTEX offer huge potential for coastal based companies to expand at fraction of cost as well as quality of life issues. Maybe CORTEX is gaining some steam as it looks like Crescent building is full steam and another phase being announced later in the year.

To give idea the cost of housing in Bay Area as per East Bay Times. My stepdaughter staying in CWE studio w kitchenette/bathroom/her own space while trying to do school in St. Louis for essentially same cost that some people are paying for just a room or shed.

The mixed-use rehab of 2217 Locust for Blackline's new HQ was completed last month so I removed it from this 2018 list. Nice to see some interest there and of course the Mendenhall Building up the block is part of the ambitious plan for the Jefferson Avenue area.

But unfortunately 2210 Locust has a demo permit application in as well as construction for surface parking lot. UPDATE: this building's demolition would have to go through preservation review so there's hope.

LCRA has a pretty full docket today on projects seeking blighting/abatements. Includes big-ticket Central Corridor projects like the Foundry and Beaumont Exchange, but also some North and South City ones such as a Schnuck's on Page to two infill Habitat homes just a block from Cherokee.

Agenda:
https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/d ... ents-2.pdf

I already had most of these on the project list, but one I forgot about was the condo project in Boulevard Heights so I added that.

What is the change to the riverfront agreement?

^ looks like Tropicana is requesting to convert some gaming floor space over to other entertainment.... my guess is gambling revenues aren't as profitable now. I don't think they are seeking subsidies for this but need city sign-off to change the redevelopment agreement,

^The somewhat connected project at the Pelican appears to be moving forward, so it was only a matter of time. It's all fenced up. I'm surprised they only got the permit recently. I've been expecting that to disappear for a week or two now. Actually thought they'd already started.

Building permit has been issued for the S. Grand apartment project at the old Y. Occupancy permits also have been issued for 32 N Euclid and the Encore. I believe that Encore project fills out the Highlands redevelopment. And Mark Groth says fencing is around Bouras Mop so that should begin very soon (although no permits issued quite yet.)

Hopefully this means there's more activity soon. Haven't heard anything on the Bouras Mop for a while. Can't wait to see it brought back to life.

Now if we would just get similar news on the old Y on Locust and the apartments above it. That's a prime property for mixed-use redevelopment.
