3 new houses coming to 3005-09 Missouri in Benton Park - There were some other ones approved for this site years ago - Good to see another vacant lot gone

$250k building permit applications submitted for new homes at 3005, 3007, 3009 Missouri

Issued

These 3 green spaces have new homes in the works. 

• 3 homes on Missouri Ave
• 1 home + ADU at the corner of McNair and Pestalozzi
• 2 new homes at 3011 and 3015 McNair

In recent memory, (Past 6-8 years)

• 6 new homes on Indiana & Pestalozzi (UiC development + detached others)
• 5 attached townhomes at Pestalozzi and Indiana (contemporary jagged setbacks)
• 4 attached townhomes at Pestalozzi and Salena (historic replica infill)
• 1 new home on Wisconsin (historic front, designer interior)
• 1 recently complete on Lynch 
• 2 under construction on Lynch (2-unit single building at the corner). 
• ......more homes on Indiana north of Lynch in the neighborhood
• ......more homes on Lemp by Venice Cafe and Frazers and also south of Arsenal by Saturn Lounge

The semi- vacant breweries, in addition to land abutting Gravois seem to be the biggest issues for BP moving ahead. I also think some of the small CMU-constructed car shops, and the vacant 7-11 on Jefferson Ave would be perfect for wine bars or cafe spaces with outdoor patios. 

From Pres Board agenda - 2 new houses coming to BP

Anyone have any info on a sale of 1818 Sidney St (old Truemans Sports Bar with a volleyball court)? Was interested in the property.

Was on the market for a long time but has disappeared

Nothing in the MLS other than it was withdrawn on 6/24. Monica Schmidt with EXP Realty had the listing if you want to try to contact her for more info.

Update on this project (3005-3009 Missouri) - photos taken 7/31/26:

And the "before" (April 2025) view from Google:

And the before-before shot from July 2011:

amazing ^

Another one -- 2001 Lynch (at Salena):

Before shot:

2904 Wisconsin is a self-build. Owner fam lived in the alley house on the same property for a while before starting this build.

I usually hate modern "mansards", but that one actually looks good.
