mixed-use

The renovation of the pair of mixed-use properties running from 3201 to 3211 Lafayette Avenue, located along the edge of St. Louis'  Gate District Neighborhood, is finally entering the final phase. Another former DHP Investments property finally getting a long-awaited rehab, Metamorphi Development has completed work on two of the five townhomes at this 17,492 square foot complex on northwest corner of...

It's been an eventful few years for the historic Pevely Dairy Complex at 1001 South Grand Blvd, on the southwest corner of Chouteau and South Grand. Following the abrupt closure of the site in October 2008, Bruce Development unveiled plans to convert the site to a mixed-use development. All seemed to be going smoothly until a fire wiped out one of the buildings in March 2009. Talk of Bruce Development's...

Tucked behind Sasha's on Shaw in the Shaw Neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, two mixed-use properties have been unceremoniously rehabbed. Located at 1810 Thurman and 1816-18 Thurman, both of these buildings are owned by the same people that own Sasha's. Repairs have been going on for the better part of two years, but it seems that things are finally wrapping up. Both buildings appear to being put...

The gut rehab project we have been following in Marine Villa is now officially complete. For a refresher on this project at 3500 Illinois, check out these stories before and during construction.

And that that...

I finally got a chance to take a look at the progress at the project site, and I am happy to say the Marine Villa property has really come a long way in the last five months. In fact, from what I am told by Tiger Lily Development, the project should be finished by mid-May. At...

One seeming victim to this trend is the proposed Pelican Place project at 2232 and 2256 South Grand in the Compton Heights neighborhood. The Planning & Urban Design Agency of the City of St. Louis published development details back in August of 2006. The former...

Gut rehabs of LRA (Land Reutilization Authority) have been few and far between in the past eighteen months, with construction financing has been virtually nonexistent in this economic climate. So you can count me surprised when I got a call from a friend saying that this 4,932 sq ft monster in Marine Villa was going to be turned into a single family home. Originally a bakery on the first floor and a...
