From what I could see, the most recent two meetings don't have the minutes uploaded, but the rest do. Just click on the meeting, and there should be two files - one for the agenda and one for the minutes. The minutes for the more recent meetings are probably around though, somewhere.quincunx wrote: ↑Sep 01, 2020All I see are agendas, no minutes.

According to Carol Howard, and the Southsider Newspaper, developer John Clancy of Palm Beach Florida. The development will include retail space and apartments. Carol Howard says that it will modernize the Kingshighway corridor and bring more people to what was once the bustling Southtown area. No renderings have been released of the development but could most likely come in a few weeks as Clancy wraps up negotiations on acquiring land. The 8-acre site is located where Louis F. Meyer Youth Center was located.
The developer is also turning the old Shop N' Save into a Planet Fitness and small grocery store. The former Applebees will become a Hook and Reel seafood restaurant. The name Cornerstone Chippewa is the LLC name developing the property. The actual name of the development could be, and most likely will be, different.
This is just one of three developments coming to Kingshighway South of Chippewa. One is the old National Guard/Armory Building (unknown plans), and the YWCA at Lansdowne and Kingshighway is being converted into 15 apartments and office space by Garcia (ongoing). But that is for a different thread.
Location of the development is located below in red. Blue is Planet Fitness. Yellow is Hook and Reel. Green is the Armory parcel.

Without having much intel on the project (yet, will learn more this weekend), I will assume that John Clancy will include some plans to brighten up the former Shop N' Save Plaza with a new retail building or two as well as connect the red sit to Chippewa by building streets on either side of the old Shop N' Save. I will also assume that he will buy the old Armory and either redevelop it or demolish it for something new. Hope to share more when the time comes.
Chris’s,
I can assure you my partners and I have committed millions into a class A development in every way as you can see from the Planet Fitness already operational.
We love STL and look forward to serving the community!

Welcome to the forum, who I believe may be John Clancy. Looking forward to whatever updates you can provide here.temp_ZniuT0uf wrote: ↑Dec 20, 2020chriss752 wrote: ↑Aug 01, 2019A major, 8-acre development is planned along Kingshighway in Southtown.

Project heading back to the LCRA for the April 27th meeting. Tax abatement request remains the same. I'm not sure why it's heading back.
Anyone know what the outcome of the LCRA meeting was for this project and projected start date?chriss752 wrote: ↑Apr 24, 2021Project heading back to the LCRA for the April 27th meeting. Tax abatement request remains the same. I'm not sure why it's heading back.
Some PD reporting from today:
https://www.stltoday.com/business/local ... 0d7c3.html
Never mind, apparently this article is from August last year, but it's listed near the top of the Business section of the online PD today...not sure if there are any updates or not.

Excited to see this getting started, but have to admit I hadn't realized the level of tax exemption that it is getting. 15 years at 95% abatement - but that's not it! Another 5 years at 90% abatement. So that means the city won't really realize the benefits of this development until 2041 - a time in which it may not look as appealing as it does now.
I understand this site isn't producing taxes now. I'm also unaware of the cleanup cost, and maybe that has something to do with it? If blight is the only reason, I disagree as this stretch, while unproductive, is far from what I would define as blighted. 50% abatement seems much more reasonable, but I'm not a developer.

There is activity on the site the last couple days. It's possible it is just staging for some street-level repairs or utility work in the area. Some light machinery, stacks of gravel, a few trucks, etc...
Was just told that demolition and site preparation is underway!
Let's hope this is transformational for the intersection of Kingshighway and Chippewa. I can't say it has exactly been going down hill over the last couple years, and actually the apartments further west on Chippewa have been cleaned up quite a bit. Still, it's not somewhere I would want to be a pedestrian.
The project seems to be moving very slowly. Does anyone know the status of the project?
The building permit applied for on July 20th has not yet been issued.

Photos posted seemed to be the multifamily project on The Hill not SoGro at Chippewa and Kingshighway.
Apologies, I misread the feed name. I was thinking SoHo. Damn dyslexia. :pSTLAPTS wrote: ↑Oct 12, 2021Photos posted seemed to be the multifamily project on The Hill not SoGro at Chippewa and Kingshighway.
