Pagedale redevelopment

Effort continues to redevelop Pagedale along Page west of the city - New movie theater and clinic - I hope it turns out better than the senior housing development

Actually, I don't mind the senior housing. That's a pretty bleak stretch, and these new developments have helped brighten things up considerably. It also can't hurt that there's a new $85 million data center planned just down Page in Wellston.

Movie theater and more coming to Pagedale

Health care services, shops and a movie theater coming soon to Page Avenue in Pagedale are among things residents want but are absent in their low-income area.

So says Chris Krehmeyer, president and chief executive of Beyond Housing, a developer of affordable housing. The nonprofit became a commercial developer, too, starting with a Save-A-Lot grocery that opened in 2010.

That area is horrible for pedestrians. There are no crosswalks on Page. Page is designed to get cars through there as fast a s possible. It should be a poster child of how the level of service obsession ruins places. I saw that there's a complete streets plan. It couldn't come soon enough.

^ I'm actually more bullish about the North County complete streets and TOD plans moving forward than anything in Mid or South County. There is actually a strong demand for smart and sustainable redevelopment in the Northern inner ring suburbs. Normandy, Pagedale, and Wellston actually have more urban redevelopment plans than much wealthier and in demand suburbs like Maplewood, Richmond Heights, Brentwood etc. I would say Clayton and University city have much better plans too.

Have you been to the new child center in Wellston? Is it actually TOD?

They missed the mark on the incubator. It's parking lot oriented that happens to be near a Metrolink station.

The cinema is opening on November 6th. This project really makes a nice impact on this section of Page.

Great project...

This should be a model of how inner ring suburbs should be redeveloping. I know many of the South and Mid County burbs have taken the big box route, but in all honesty this is the approach they should be taking...rebuilding main streets has been a proven redevelopment method nationwide, why does this miss so much of the St. Louis area? I've never seen a city where so many of its inner ring suburbs and central city run away from urbanity.

The redo of Page is most welcome too. Crossing it is horribly scary and dangerous. Talk about a road made for people to pass through/get out of Pagedale, and they did.

The theater is now open.

Where do you go to see movie times? It's not listed on the Wehrenberg website, and it's not on apps like Flixster yet. I want this to succeed but if you can't find upcoming show times it's not possible for me to go there.

Aquaponics Fish and Vegetable Farm is underway for a large empty lot on N. Market Street and right next to the Rock Road metro stop. Looks like a great project. 130 jobs.

Well, I wish him luck. When I worked a summer job for the DoH half a lifetime ago that was part of my territory. There's some neat and historic spots up that way that could use a good break. (I distinctly remember trying to call Beverly Hills city hall, misdialing slightly, and having some St. Louisan assume I was a complete whackjob for trying to get Beverly Hills in the 314. Anyway . . . takes me back. And lord knows there's a demand for fresh fish in the area. (Heck, I could possibly generate a little more demand myself. Now I'm getting hungry.)

Nice Living St. Louis segment on redevelopment efforts in Pagedale centered around Page and Ferguson:

Beyond Housing has completed 41 new homes in neighboring Pine Lawn. These guys are one of my favorite groups. They focus on the inner-ring suburbs in North County.

Very nice; like to see most of the North Side go this route. New housing is desperately needed there.

There's some new construction underway on the southeast corner of Page and Ferguson, right across from the movie theater/health clinic. Anyone know what's going up?

PostOct 26, 2020#202020-10-26T02:28+00:00

OK, Beyond Housing is building a new, two-story office and retail building on the Southeast corner. Note that the new building fronts the street, with parking behind. Three of the four corners at Page and Ferguson will now be "urban", more or less (the Baptist church on the Northwest corner has a parking lot).

Beyond Housing has done a great job in this area.

Good to see. Has the intersection been improved? It was so freaking scary the last time I was there. Been a few years though.

framer · PostOct 26, 2020#222020-10-26T03:33+00:00

No; Page is still wide open. I will say, though, that that stretch is heavily patrolled, and most people seem to know it. I see very little speeding there.

PostOct 26, 2020#232020-10-26T22:23+00:00

Here's a Street View of the intersection, looking east. The new building is going up on the empty corner. The movie theater is behind the buildings on the left, facing Page (you can just make out their sign above the sidewalk). Beyond Housing also runs a coffee shop/community center just visible in the distance. They've also built dozens of new affordable homes in the area. Unfortunately, the recent streetscape and sidewalk improvements stop just a couple of blocks west of here. Would've made perfect sense to continue past this intersection, but maybe that will come later.

The African Diaspora Council is hoping to establish a new credit union at 1425 Ferguson in Pagedale:

"The African Diaspora Proposed Federal Credit Union, to be located 1425 Ferguson Ave, St. Louis, MO 63133 is coming soon. They want to change the way Investment Banks are designed and to help our communities become stronger and more impactful to the minority communities they serve. This leads toward economic revitalization and job opportunities,. “So many communities have suffered over the past year. Check out our website below, take the survey, become a founding member and take ownership....virtual videos available soon."

-from Pagedale Alderwoman Bernice Nolen

^It's an interesting idea. Gramin bank has done a lot of good, as I understand it from the news and a friend originally from Bangladesh. I've always thought something like that should work here as well. Maybe it's time.
