Saw work being done on 1417-33 TOWER GROVE LLC yesterday as I biked by - looks like a building permit was issued last month for a multi-family conversion.
I thought I saw some more work being done through the windows too on 1201-1207 TOWER GROVE AV but no permit on the city website.

The recent updated plan for Vista Place (empty lots at SW corner of Vista and Tower Grove Ave) appears to already be dead. Two of the lots right in the middle are listed for sale by a Manor Brokerage, LLC. And the previous listing by Scott Siekert Design that had renderings for new construction is also gone, now just showing that their listing is "off market". Here's the new lot listings for lots "B" and "C": https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4310 ... 5513_zpid/
$140K for two lots seems a bit high, even in this area. But hopefully a change in ownership will lead to something finally getting built.

Golden Grocer is moving from the CWE to the former K9 Athletic Club building at 4501 Chouteau. Renovation is already well underway—a new concrete walkway around the building perimeter was being poured yesterday. From their website:

Looks like an organic cafe is also being built out catty-corner to Golden Grocer, and they're looking for a pizza cook:

Good to see. A frustratingly dumpy eyesore on your way walking from the north/Metro station. Did the sidewalk along Taylor get replaced? It was a weedy, broken mess.

Foundations have been poured at 1402 Tower Grove. Looks like it wont have a basement, just a slab.

The sidewalk is still a broken mess. Same along Chouteau. Hopefully they'll address it after they resurface the parking lot.quincunx wrote: ↑Aug 21, 2020Good to see.

The city of St. Louis' Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority agreed to award up to $57 million in industrial revenue bonds for Green Street's new multifamily project. Green Street plans to build 307 market-rate apartments at 4500 Swan Ave. and 1305 S. Taylor Ave. at the western end of The Grove in the city's Forest Park Southeast neighborhood.
The project, estimated to cost around $57 million, would also include 1,450 square feet of ground-level retail. Construction is expected to start in October and take about 18 months, according to documents filed with the city of St. Louis. The bonds would facilitate a sales tax exemption on construction materials bought in the city.
Late last year, the city granted 10 years of tax abatement at 75% of the property's value to Green Street.
Anyone know who owns the triangular green-space on the northeast corner of Kingshighway and Manchester? What are the chances it'll get developed some day?

The Science Center. So I wouldn’t expect to see it developed into mixed use any time soon. If anything, I’d expect them to do some community garden or interactive learning attraction. Who knows, maybe they’ll decide to sell at some point.

At this point, selling it would be a win for the SLSC and the neighborhood.Laife Fulk wrote: ↑Aug 27, 2020The Science Center. So I wouldn’t expect to see it developed into mixed use any time soon.

^Exactly. I don't see how that site could fit into the Science Center's future plans. Why hold onto something they don't need?

Catty cornered to it across Kingshighway is where they do their Youth Exploring Science program. I could imagine it being used for something along those lines. Obviously not at the present. And I'd see it as pretty hazardous to get a group of kids to cross two busy thoroughfares just to play in some biodomes.framer wrote: ↑Aug 27, 2020^Exactly.

Here are quite a few project updates in the neighborhood. I took all of these today.
Missouri Foundation for Health: Footings in for the replacement building at Tower Grove and Vista. The former 4-family looks great after being fixed up into office space.

I've also seen a renovation crew at 1039 Tower Grove Ave in the building that looks like an old gas station. Anyone know whats planned for the space?
