Delay after delay and then a devastating fire, but we are hoping that this smaller project gets things rolling and provides some momentum moving forward.

Gateway South's firsrt phase now will comprise 250,000 square feet — less than quarter of the 1.2 million square feet initially planned.

Hoping the sale of this building will add more momentum to the development of Downtown St. Louis!

"The 30-story black-glass building, at 800 Market St., is a prominent downtown high rise, across the street from Citygarden sculpture park and just a few blocks from Busch Stadium."

The Bank of America Plaza in downtown St. Louis is headed to auction this summer, following years of pressure on the central business district's office market.

"Cities like Austin, TX and Raleigh, NC are permitting commercial activity in their residential neighborhoods to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, particularly in working-class and immigrant communities. St. Louis could join a short list of cities to do this by amending its existing ADU ordinance ( #72036), updating the use permissions for N-A, N-B, and N-C in the ZOUP Draft Zoning Districts, or proposing new legislation."

Cities around the US are easing regulations for businesses in residential neighborhoods. With last September’s accessory dwelling unit ordinance as precedent, should St. Louis be next?

Figuring out what to do with the old St. Alexius.

"Transferring a major portion of the empty nursing school and healthcare campus to the St. Louis Land Reutilization Authority — tasked with maintaining the city's stock of thousands of abandoned buildings — could give the city more leverage to address the property. The transfer to the LRA would wipe out the tax debt and clear the title, allowing a new developer to start fresh."

A portion of the abandoned hospital campus on South Jefferson Avenue was up for auction for back taxes last week.

Business owners have put in a lot of hard work in developing the Midtown. Let's hope that this decision leads to more commercial real estate development in the Locust Business District!

The Missouri Department of Transportation announced last week that the Compton Avenue ramp to westbound I-64 will not be removed after all. This represents a walking back of a proposal that had drawn both sharp criticism from Midtown business owners and enthusiasm from urbanists and others disinclin...
