Another CORTEX project is soon to get underway.

The Aloft @ CORTEX will be 150-rooms. It is the first hotel for the CORTEX innovation district.


Facing North towards Forest Park Avenue.

Below are progress videos of the newly-expanded and refurbished The Museum at the Gateway Arch (formerly known as The Museum of Westward Expansion).

The last video shows new animated renderings of the planned exhibits.

The new visitor center at the Arch is being expanded by 46,000 square feet and is set to include more space for educational opportunities and private events.

The new museum under the Arch is set to include new interactive and engaging exhibits about America’s westward expansion.

Renovations to the Gateway Arch Museum won't be completed until summer 2018.

The museum is the feather in the cap for the $400-million CityArchRiver project.

Pfizer breaks ground on its new $236 million Chesterfield research campus
By Bryce Gray
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Jun 27, 2017

CHESTERFIELD • After a competitive, multiyear process to identify a home for the project, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. broke ground Tuesday on a research campus in Chesterfield where it will hone development of medicine and vaccines.

The facility will both maintain and grow Pfizer’s local presence, retaining the company’s 450 current employees in the area while eventually creating 80 positions.

The 295,000 square feet of laboratory and office space at 875 West Chesterfield Parkway represents a $236 million investment and is projected to be completed in mid-2019.

Company and government officials at Tuesday’s groundbreaking ceremony said that the region helped secure the project thanks to its established relationship with Pfizer and the strong pool of qualified expertise it offers in biological sciences.

“We looked at opportunities on the West Coast, East Coast, the Research Triangle in North Carolina,” said John Ludwig, Pfizer’s senior vice president of BioTherapeutics Pharmaceutical Sciences.

“This was the right decision for Pfizer to make,” he said. “The trained workforce was already here.”

And great economic news for the region about the Pfizer expansion.

The two videos below detail the $155-million renovation that just got underway at the Scottrade Center - Home to the NHL St. Louis Blues - in downtown St. Louis.

New scoreboards, ribbons, signage, renovated bathrooms, theatre seat box area, a brew pub, facade renovation etc. etc.

The 21,000-seat arena was completed in 1994 and although many upgrades have taken place over the years, this is the first major upgrade that will practically make the stadium almost brand new.

Pfizer couldn't even find somewhere in mid-county? Even Olivette? Who the hell actually wants to be in Chesterfield, anymore? Not even suburbanites...it's why Clayton is booming.

I have to wonder if any tax incentives were involved...

EDIT: There were indeed. From the county. http://www.stltoday.com/business/loc...46b16588e.html

Of course, to be fair, Pfizer's operations were previously already based in Chesterfield. But I still don't understand why corporate leadership in the area is so behind the curve on urban workplaces.

Arts Academy Plaza, in the Grand Center Arts and Theatre District in Midtown, is under construction and will include seating terraces, harvest tables, and an amphitheater. It will be located directly across the street from the Grand Center Art Academy, which focuses on dance, orchestra, band, visual arts, choir, and theater.

The St. Louis BJ is reporting that the Cardinals announced they'll be breaking ground on the $220 million phase 2 of Ballpark Village by the end of the year.

"The project will include a 29-story apartment tower that includes 296 units, 900 new parking spaces, 60,000 square feet of retail space and a 100,000-square-foot Class A office building."

Future phases apparently include another mixed-use residential tower and mixed-use hotel project.

Upcoming phases are to include retail.

Who are they going to find to fill that office building? Office vacancy rates in the area, especially the city, are way up. Cupples X just got canceled because they couldn't make an office project work. Not to mention, IIRC the AT&T Center is almost entirely vacant because AT&T dispersed their regional offices elsewhere.

there's also a real dearth of modern, class A office space. downtown hasn't seen a new office building since 1989, so maybe having some modern available stock will help to lure a tenant.

With the future phase building in the images, notice that it appears Fox Sports would occupy the building.

Then couldn't a developer just renovate an existing space?

I could be wrong but i feel like there is a national trend of companies having spaces designed specifically for their needs versus trying to adapt to existing office space.

If it were more cost effective to convert a decades-old building into modern class A space, then yes. But I don't think we can assume that that's the case.
