It's really nice to go by at night and see this building lit up. Excited to see it full up and running.
This is the most exciting redevelopment since Wright Arcade IMO. I can't wait to see this finished.
Hotel Jefferson was the 1904 World's Fair hotel, after all.

I no longer believe that. I think we may go through another summer season before anything in the building is open

^A friend of mine had an event scheduled there that was cancelled, sounds like Jan 1 2027 is the new plan.
Wouldn't be shocking. The level of activity around the building seems greatly decreased.pattimagee wrote: ↑2:45 PM - Feb 12^A friend of mine had an event scheduled there that was cancelled, sounds like Jan 1 2027 is the new plan.
Worst case scenario: is there a chance this place stalls and never opens?

^ worst case scenario is someone gets a 80% finished building on the cheap and opens it next year

I worry that the developer does not have enough reserves to keep it running once they finally get around to opening.
The fact the old windows are still in is the best indicator they're not going to make that May 2026 date.

And there was hope this same developer might tackle the Chemical or the Exchange building? hmmm

To be fair, not every building redevelopment requires the windows to be replaced. If they’re broken, they’ll be replaced. I can’t imagine there’s too much work left to be done overall

Hadn't been keeping track as of late, is the whole project opening delayed or just the hotel component?

I still have liked the work being done so far and it will be a big boost when we get there. I liked the developer’s ideas for muni courts as well.
Didn’t someone make a bet with the developer on the finish date on here. Did that ever pay out?
I did. It was a friendly bet of $100. Hopefully he is sending the check to the urban league of St Louis soon.jshank83 wrote: ↑1:33 AM - Feb 18Didn’t someone make a bet with the developer on the finish date on here. Did that ever pay out?
I think May 2026 would still (barely) count as being completed within 9 months of the wager...but I may have my dates wrong.

Honestly building is looking fantastic, very excited
Tucker needs this lift, hoping more projects come off of this momentum
This project is still moving faster than the Tucker street overhaul

Activity has picked up at the site, aiming for partial occupancy in June
