As the $116-million renovation of the Arcade-Wright building nears, the building already has its first MAJOR tenant.

Webster University to open downtown campus in Arcade Building
Jacob Kirn
Digital Producer-
St. Louis Business Journal

Webster University will be the anchor tenant of the Arcade Building at Ninth and Olive streets downtown, school officials said Tuesday.

Webster’s new “Gateway Campus,” which will include offices, 12 classrooms, a café, art museum and small auditorium, will open with the Arcade in 2016.

The university, which will occupy 54,000 square feet in the building, has signed a 20-year lease, the terms of which were not immediately known.

Webster will locate its cybersecurity and undergraduate degree completion programs at the Arcade, according to a Webster University spokesman. Art classes could also be held in the building, he said.

“This expansion marks the next phase of our partnership with the city and those who live and work downtown,” Elizabeth Stroble, Webster University president, said in a statement, adding that the Gateway Campus will also include classrooms currently housed in the Old Post Office, 815 Olive St., where graduate courses have been offered for nearly a decade. The university's lease in the Old Post Office expires in 2018, according to the university spokesman.

Ikea groundbreaking set for June 24
June 03, 2014 12:30 pm • By Tim Bryant
St. Louis Post-Dispatch



Blue and yellow shovels will be present June 24 when Ikea breaks ground on its St. Louis store at Forest Park and Vandeventer avenues.

Speeches will be delivered and ceremonial shovelfuls of dirt will be tossed to mark the event. Joe Roth, an Ikea spokesman, says the shovels will be Ikea blue and yellow.

The Swedish retailer has yet to specify the project's cost but says it will exceed $100 million. Roth says the St. Louis store is the only U.S. outlet Ikea will open next year.

The company said yesterday it had acquired the 21-acre site.

Contractor S.M. Wilson & Co. is preparing to get underway with construction.

Site work has begun. Next up is some additional building demolition, closure of part of Duncan Avenue and work to relocate a big sewer that runs beneath the site.

Good to see N. Vandeventer get something exciting.
I can still feel pain from when the Vandeventer / Enright block was removed.

IKEA broke ground in St. Louis City today.

The site is among IKEA's few urban concepts in the United States, and was selected because of highway visibility and accessibility; centrality in the region; and available land.

Located in the the city's Central Corridor, the 380,000 square foot IKEA has been deemed a "Super Regional" store by IKEA.

Ikea officials said they expect the St. Louis store will draw customers from more than an hour away, reaching into six states and eight metropolitan regions.

The St. Louis store is expected to generate more than $100 million in annual sales.

Regarding the Missouri theatre building.... Is there ANY chance that the developer, will add another large "Missouri" neon sign to the front of the building. When looking back at old pictures of Grand Ave. from way back, that sign is SO cool and just adds so much to that area.

With BB Kings going in, I imagine there will be some neon, but it won't be anything on the scale of that original theatre sign.

forest park really is our ace in the hole. not all midwestern and southern inland cities have a very large urban park (that's also in great shape) completely surrounded by solid pre-war urbanity. i'd also love to see some of that underutilized real estate on "my" (western) end of forest park be densely developed to augment those pre-war and mid century towers on skinker.

I hate to be a buzzkill because I am sure KPF will deliver a hellva design, but the question becomes...... will the naysayers kill it or to what extent will they "dumb down" the project when officially proposed?

Already I have a headache and a stomach-ache thinking about what the antagonists, NIMBYS and detractors will do to the project.

I hope I am shocked otherwise.

Downtown West, situated between the CBD and Midtown, continues to evolve.

The area, once full of warehouses, old office buildings, old hotels, old manufacturing facilities, etc., is in a state of transformation. Old buildings have been transformed into breweries, office space, a day care center, restaurants, clubs, event centers, apartments and lofts. Now lofts and apartments sit in an old perfume laboratory (Lacassian Laboratories), old stove manufacturing company (Majestic Stove) and an old publishing building (Sporting News) - among others.

The recession slowed things, but now another old manufacturing building is about to be rehabbed into 57-residential units. The Intrada Lofts, proposed for an old shoe lace factory (below), will have 18-studio apartments, 16-one bedroom apartments, 16-two bedroom apartments and 7-three bedroom apartments when complete.

Prices could range from $650-$950.

st. louis is a weird outlier in the midwest, it seems like second wave progress is moving towards downtown, from western urban districts.

hopefully they embrace any "manhattanization" of the central west end in only a way that a people once faced with a "detroitization" would, as realists suddenly presented with a fantasy coming to life should.

Progress report: RGA’s new digs expected to finish by October

Reinsurance Group of America Inc. (RGA) began work on its new global $150 million headquarters in Chesterfield in February 2013 and plans to complete construction of the 405,000-square-foot building on time in October.

The decision to build a new headquarters over 17 acres stemmed from RGA’s expansion over the last few years and estimated growth in the future.

“We looked at many options and it became increasingly clear to us that building a new, permanent global headquarters facility would provide RGA with the space and flexibility to accommodate our anticipated growth,” said President and CEO Greig Woodring.

KWS Saat AG, a German-based seed company that had more than $1.4 billion in sales in fiscal 2013, is placing its KWS Gateway Research Center in Bio-Research & Development Growth Park (BRDG Park) in St. Louis County.

St. Louis' critical mass of 750 plant scientists along with a trained workforce and core facilities - such as BRDG Park - set St. Louis apart from other competitive regions.

The move will create about 75 jobs, initially. KWS selected BRDG Park over potential locations in San Francisco, Boston and Research Park Triangle in North Carolina.

KWS, which has more than 4,400 employees in 70 countries, is a major industry player competing with the likes of St. Louis-based Monsanto Co. and DuPont Pioneer among others.

BRDG Park currently has 15 companies dedicated to plant science research. The science park is located at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, which is the world's largest private plant science research institute.


Future home to KWS Gateway Research Center


KWS' selection of BRDG Park also could lead to PHASE II development.

Construction has begun on the new $54-million office and lab facilities for the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center.

The new building will add nearly 80,000 square feet, housing state-of-the-art lab spaces that can be modified to accommodate new approaches in scientific research.

The expansion will accommodate 100 new scientists and help solidify the region's reputation as a growing bioscience powerhouse.

Nearby, Germany's agrotech giant KWS Saat will be adding 75 researchers, initially, as it has recently selected the site for its new KWS Gateway Research Center.

KWS is building a $6-million state-of-the-art greenhouse on the campus.

Here's progress on the 177-unit City Walk on Euclid mixed-use development.

It's a $75 million Central West End luxury apartment building with a 38,500 square foot Whole Foods Market on the first floor and 458-car garage.
