I don't know about the terra cotta, but the wood floors and cabinets are being salvaged.

I hope they reuse the bricks for something.

Response from WUSTL

Yes, everything than can be salvaged and reused/resold or saved for future WU use is being saved.

Can you ask specifically where the terra cota will go?

Demos underway.

The apt building at the corner of Enright and Eastgate is completely gone.

From Enright and Eastgate.

The two apt buildings on Delmar are gone.

Site is pretty much cleared except for one of the two-story buildings and the still-occupied 4-story on the corner of Westgate and Enright. They are getting ready to drive piles if not already started.

Compare and contrast. U of Cincinnati's $80-million U Square. The project, which is further along in construction, is to have 161-units with retail, restaurants and office space at the University of Cincinnati. It is very similar to Washington University's $80-million Loop Living, which has a sleeker modern design.

Excavation for underground parking

How many parking levels total? 2?

Presbyterian · PostApr 15, 2013#652013-04-15T02:09+00:00

^Not sure. It's a big hole. Parking ratio is 0.5/resident... which is about 300 spaces, accessed from a single entrance on Enright.

Parking for the retail spaces was to be provided by the U. City municipal garage a few doors down.

Alex Ihnen · PostApr 15, 2013#662013-04-15T02:13+00:00

^ Right. I don't believe there will be any dedicated parking for the grocery.

Presbyterian · PostApr 15, 2013#672013-04-15T02:20+00:00

^I mean, it's going to be such a tiny little grocery...

You guys are such big teases!

I can't wait for the full story!

Alex Ihnen · PostApr 15, 2013#732013-04-15T15:05+00:00

The lease, apparently, has not yet been signed, though the deal is "98% done". It should be official in early May...leaving me to decide when to put something online.

PostApr 24, 2013#742013-04-24T19:29+00:00

OK - so I figure I'll post the story if someone guesses the grocer...and no lists or multiple posts here...One shot per forum member.
