Fencing is down. Hopefully, they put in trees and landscaping soon. I'm not a huge fan of the shiny metal rails they installed on the lower levels.

I like it a lot, one of the better looking large apartment complexes built recently. Just wish they had been pressured to use brick on the Hwy 55 exposure.

Man, I like the way this looks from I-44/I-55. Sure, it would be nice to have brick on the I-55 side, but the gray adds diversity in color. I'm told those metal things on some windows that make no practical sense to a resident are called Juliette Balconies. I've softened my stance on those, and they break up the uniform look from the Interstates, but they look unnecessary when you get close. Thoughts?
Anywho, much better than the previous building that sat here with a suburban setback and parking lot upfront with cinder block and metal shed construction.
I like it, much better than new construction I've seen in other cities lately.

Looks good. Not sure what the occupancy is here though. I assume it's high (like 1001 Russell and Steelyard)

Other than the fake balcony things, it's honestly pretty perfect. We could use another 100 of these around the city.

^ yep. i wish the Gills would just copy this on Arco instead of the ugly mess they're now planning.
It's about the best you can expect to see from this type of apartment building nowadays. Somewhat related to the occupancy rate - a friend of mine was looking for an Airbnb near me and sent a link...it was a place in this building. I wonder if the company is holding some from being leased to use for Airbnb, or if it's a tenant (multiple?) putting their place up to make some cash?
Could be the landlord. I stayed in a studio apt in Mpls that was listed by the landlord. Could be the solution for the street level apt instead of street level retail since it takes a lot more people to support such retail these days.
I don't know for certain it's the one that EssTeeEll saw on AirBnB, but I know for sure the company lists some units as short-term rentals. If tenants need a unit for a weekend visitor they can set it up directly through the building management.
Don't write that on Twitter, or else you will drown in a mob claiming that STL doesn't need any more expensive apartments.RuskiSTL wrote: ↑Sep 12, 2020Other than the fake balcony things, it's honestly pretty perfect. We could use another 100 of these around the city.
