The station to be renovated that you mention is actually in Moline, several blocks west of the structure shown above, and yes, it is an ugly, forgettable old warehouse (something I wouldn't have given a second thought to if they demolished it) but from the looks of the plans, it will be a great place (and huge) when finished. It will be developed by a company called
Restoration St. Louis, who have already renovated a few local buildings and have done an AMAZING job. I am very happy that they have been chosen to design the new station. (perhaps we can convince them to take on and move the building I posted above)
