ARCTURIS Selected to Design Gateway Lofts

St. Louis -- May 05, 2006 -- St. Louis-based architectural design firm Arcturis has been selected as the designer of the Gateway Lofts project, to be built at the corner of Tucker and Washington Avenues in downtown St. Louis.

Gateway Lofts will be a seven-story retail and residential facility, featuring 17 residential condominiums ranging in size from 700 to 1,800 square feet. It will be one of the first new residential buildings built in downtown since the 1970s. The project is being developed by Kwame Group and its president, Tony Thompson.

"This is an exciting project because it will be built from the ground up at the entrance to the Washington Avenue loft and entertainment district," said John Mueller, Arcturis principal who is overseeing the project. "The concept for the project is to create a ‘civic gesture’ on this corner with an all-glass ‘cube’ on the north side that creates a graceful "lantern" highlighting the entry to the loft district."

The Gateway Lofts’ condos will have 12-foot ceilings, exposed structural elements and secure on-site parking. A commercial retail space will be located on the Washington Avenue side on the ground floor. Many of the units will also feature multi-level heights.

Arcturis and the developer are also seeking LEEDs certification for the building.
