WOW! Can't happen soon enough.

Oh man it's been a second since we've gotten a rendering as juicy as this.
It might just be rendering magic, but it looks like the highway his capped here. Also a food hall is an interesting choice, will be a top destination for Cardinals Arch visitors. I wonder how much they would compete with the proposed food hall on Wash Ave (they are at least a good distance apart)
Looking forward to seeing some site plans with more detail

Love the design & renderings. Will there be any pushback on demo of the Millennium Tower?
I understand it is no longer a viable development option, but there will likely be many that want it preserved.
Being greedy, I would like to see more than one tower. Will there be potential for future development on the site or will it be fully built out from the start?

I also can’t help but wonder if this is Cordish’s subtle middle finger to DeWitt for dragging his feet on further development.

If this development is successful I would think this would have a catalyzing effect on BPV. Perhaps could even be a kick in the butt to get their renderings out soon.

I don’t know. 40 stories of residential 2 blocks away may dilute demand for BPV residential. Who knows.
Are there any plans to better connect this area with the arch grounds other than outright removal of I-44?
STL Mag - Plans revealed for Millennium Hotel site
https://www.stlmag.com/business/plan-re ... -st-louis/It would be replaced with 1.3 million square feet of residential, office, commercial, cultural, and public spaces. Plans call for upscale housing, Class A office space, an amphitheater, a food hall, event space, and a potential home for Gateway Arch National Park’s archives.
I think politicians will trip over each other to approve this.DogtownBnR wrote: ↑Feb 19, 2025Love the design & renderings. Will there be any pushback on demo of the Millennium Tower?

Tough to process without a site plan - That is the existing MCI building on the right in the first rendering - which would but the perspective point somewhere in the middle of Memorial, which I am sure is not going to be abandoned. Can't cap the highway here as it is coming out of the ground.pdm_ad wrote: ↑Feb 19, 2025quincunx wrote: ↑Feb 19, 2025STL Mag - Plans revealed for Millennium Hotel site

Overall interesting looking stuff, I am OK with the Millennium going away, it would be tough to reuse, small floorplates, and the floor to floor height would be hard to make work for modern HVAC.
An amphitheater would be really cool. Downtown needs to compete with the outdoor venues out west. Hope it's a decent size.
Building is taller than I expected and I like the curvature of the smaller building too. Hope this happens.

A highway cap would almost be as exciting to me as the building itself. And that building, if it actually starts in April or this year, will be the most exciting building built in St. Louis since the 1980s, easily.
But that highway cap could be a gamechanger.

How about one of our talented graphic artists show us some skyline renderings with the new tower. . . 
I think this will pop crossing the Poplar from the east.

This is absolutely breathtaking I must say. This is definitely a St.Louis skyline changer & something that’s beyond needed. Quick question isn’t there a height limit where the millennium stands? This building looks like a possible 500 footer which would be incredible if so. I could see this going up along with the Albion maybe BPV 2 will get going as well either way this is an incredible win.

Zoning puts a height limit on most properties in the city. They'd need to get a variance.

Ah dang, highway is still uncapped in the second batch of renderings. Would have been a stretch for a private project anyways as it's at ground level here. It's a shame because that outdoor space in front of the Arch Archives and that balcony are going to be hostile af
I would also argue that dense residential is the one thing where dramatically increasing supply has the effect of increasing demand. Let's get this snowball rolling.

Agreed - cap it along the entire arch grounds!RockChalkSTL wrote: ↑Feb 19, 2025A highway cap would almost be as exciting to me as the building itself. And that building, if it actually starts in April or this year, will be the most exciting building built in St. Louis since the 1980s, easily.

^Pretty pictures are nice. However, this what is going through my head as well.whitherSTL wrote: ↑Feb 19, 2025I also can’t help but wonder if this is Cordish’s subtle middle finger to DeWitt for dragging his feet on further development.
Cordish obviously sees an opportunity no doubt. So has Cordish being eyeing this property for a while? The had someone effort into a plan for Millennium Hotel that didn't happen overnight. Is DeWitt family still involved in this RFP somehow, maybe an outside/backing investor or did DeWitt family had a clue to extent of Cordish Proposal? How does this impact BPV2?
