There is much more behind each headline than what is listed here.
If a certain topics interest you, I would encourage you to do a
little more research on those topics. When possible, I will link
to other resources so you can gain a more complete understanding
of that topic. An excellent source for major renovation projects is the
"Development Activity"
section of the Community Information Network's web site. All of their linked projects have
funding in place and most are already underway or nearing completion.

Kiel Opera House
Old Post Office District
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay says the demolition of the historically significant Century Building would save the Old Post Office District, and is a key to reviving downtown. The city claims that opposition to the Century demolition could kill plans to redevelop the Old Post Office. The replacment of the marble office building with a 1,050-space parking garage
is considered non-negotiable. Despite the fact that a Request for Proposal was never issued and the Century Building was never marketed to developers in an open process; Loftworks LLC, McGowan Brothers Development and Mansur Real Estate Services unveiled a $81 million alternative to demolishion. The plan, which would offer parking and preserve the Century Building was withdrawn because it received no support from St. Louis City Hall.

City Living Lofts - Apartments - Housing
The market for more housing in downtown St. Louis is very strong. Recently, the demand for residential
lofts, condos, and apartments downtown have outweighed the supply. Many of the loft projects that have
been indevelopment over the past few years are just now coming online. Many of projects have been 50%
pre-sold, while others have been sold out. As residents begin to move in this year and next, we
should see other amenities appear as demand increases. For more information on what is available,
check out the St. Louis Lofts web site.
