Not sure how many folks on this forum have actually been to the Streets of St. Charles recently, given the amount of suburbaphobia on here but this place seems to be a huge hit. Most of the happy hours for my company (located in St. Louis County btw) take place in the Streets of St. Charles, so I’ve been there quite often. It’s always packed. Most of my coworkers around my age live in St. Louis City but they still make the trip out to St. Charles for after work happy hours. I agree with Chris that this will get built, but not just because the region keeps expanding westward. We gotta give a little credit where it’s due. The Streets is by far the most successful “fake urban” development in the entire St. Louis metro area. Also, glad to see St. Charles will finally be adding condos and not just apartments. I once joked to one of my coworkers that I would like to live near The Streets since we’re there so often, but I would want to own and build equity and not throw away money towards rent. Maybe I’m in the minority, but if I had to choose between this getting built vs the “Chesterfield Downtown”, I’d choose this any day. It’s just a short walk from the regions largest casino, and of course Historic Main Street, which is NOT suburban. The Wildhorse/Chesterfield Mall development is literally surrounded by suburban houses on huge lots with massive driveways. This area of St. Charles is nothing like that. Its historic, charming, and somewhat urban. The area certainly has its flaws though; there’s a massive strip mall nearby, anchored by a Bass Pro with a sea of parking.
