IS the bottle district on hold? It is listed as approved by emporis.
|
It is approved. They're already taking down the warhouses at the site. The actual construction starts in March. They're retouching the designs, and I assume making it more urban friendly. The first renderings showed it closed to traffic, but the most recent ones show it open to it. The towers are also expected to be taller.

St Louis's latest downtown high rise rendering, Robert's Tower at Mayfair Plaza. Groundbreaking is this month, the 22nd of February. The building will be residential.

^That is nice. Maybe 3 or 4 more stories would have really emphasized the slender profile, but with all the glass that is a nice development.

Well according to this article click here Libenskind is still involved.
btw I will try to update the front page sometime soon. |
^I missed that one. It does say some stuff about name and design change. Gateway Village sounds more like a retirement community. The Bottle District name is only being applied to the dining and entertainment area within. Clayco must think Gateway Village markets better than Bottle District, but it sounds so lame and could-be-anywhere to me.

:sly: "Gateway Village"? that name is horrible, some images of fake tropical shelter selling cheap t-shirt to tourist come into mind.....

I'm impressed by the size and speed of St. Louis' turnaround. It seems like just last year I was reading Neil Pierce's critique as an outsider and wondering if St. Louis would ever rise again.
My other comment: What astonishingly great deals for those condos! For the price of my 607 sf in Seattle, I could get 1,500 sf. Not gonna happen, but it's tempting. Actually I'm surprised projects pencil out at those rates. If you have enough for a down payment, for dog's sake buy a condo. I bet the values will rise heavily as the mass market discovers DTSL. Nothing like getting in while the bet is safe but most people don't know it yet. |
Population of St. Louis scores third straight year of growth
Associated Press ST. LOUIS - After more than five decades of declining population, the city of St. Louis saw growth for the third straight year in 2005. Mayor Francis Slay announced Friday that the U.S. Census Bureau's population estimate for July 1, 2005, is 352,572. That is up about 1,800 people from the previous year. The original Census projection for 2005 was lower, but the city successfully challenged it. For the third straight year, the Census Bureau accepted the city's numbers, Slay said. It's easy to understand why the city is advertising the good news. For 50 years, the city had an annual average loss of 10,000 residents. "There's new energy in the city of St. Louis, and people are starting to recognize what we offer in the city -- architecture, diversity of culture and people, entertainment and cultural attractions, tight-knit neighborhoods," Slay said. He said the city has done a better job of processing building permits. Most are granted the same day they are sought. Slay said 20,000 new or rehabilitated homes have been brought onstream in the last five years. "The building boom in neighborhoods shows no sign of slowing down," he said. |

On the St. Louis diagram, what is MW Tower? Listed as a 71 story proposed office tower. Where at in SL is this building proposed?
On the US diagram its spot is inbetween Aon Center and JHC? |
There's a rendering of the MW Tower but no info about it on their website:

We're not entirely sure if that's going to be the actual MW Tower or not.
