holy smokes. i guess that was that giant parking lot on pershing, before. thats my old old old old neighborhood. that photo was likely taken from my old building. one of the most under-rated apartment streets in st. louis.

well planned street with big sidewalks, street trees. in the past, it has suffered a bit being too far east from the loop and too far west from the central west end, but has metrolink and the park.

This development along with One Hundred NGA BPV phase 2 has the potential to really help evolve St.Louis along with all the other smaller to mid range projects that are going on through out the city. My big wish list is more focus on new construction Downtown hopefully BPV phase 2 will be a start of a new wave of not only historic rehabs but new construction..

I hope I'm wrong, but I think we will have to wait until the start of the next decade to see any new construction downtown outside of BPV. Developers will focus on rehabbing the few remaining historic buildings first.

I wrote about that up on my website. I put that every 20 years, Downtown sees significant new construction proposals and construction as a whole. The 60's saw the Arch, Busch 2 and others rise. The 80's saw the tallest buildings in the City rise changing our skyline. The 2000's saw the opening of the Eagleton Courthouse, Construction of Lumiere Place and The Roberts Tower. During that time though, several big proposals for new construction were made but cancelled by time the Recession came along (Original BPV plan, Lumiere Phase 2, The Bottle District, Sky House and MW Tower. The BPV Phase 2 Plan will help launch us into the 2020's with some new interest in Downtown which could mean the 2020's could bring along the serious change that we have been waiting for since the Recession.

One issue though is that with the AT&T Center clearing out and the Millennium Hotel closed, we could not see anything new built until that one is tackled. All be abandoned and historic buildings seem to be in line to get a new life but without those 2 getting a new life, we probably won't see anything. That is where I hope I am wrong. Those 2 buildings are the ones that have to be focused on soon or else we will begin to slump into a no new construction Downtown Region once the older buildings get reopened.

That's what I believe and my theory too.

After being repainted, refurbished and renewed in Iowa, the vintage trolleys have arrived back in St. Louis!!

The Loop Trolley is a 2.2-mile line that connects Forest Park, the Delmar Loop and MetroLink.

Take a virtual tour of The Link with Ramona Tumblin-Rucker, BJC campus renewal project manager.

With the addition of over 1,200 linear feet, The Link is now the longest skywalk connector in Missouri connecting hospitals, medical and educational facilities and parking garages in a secure, protected environment.

It is one of the longest skywalk systems in the Midwest.

In the tour video, you also can see the many new facilities of the burgeoning Washington University Medical Center.

The link is scheduled to open on March 1, 2017.

I'm not bashing or anything but is that a good thing? Don't you want foot traffic on the sidewalks?

If it were downtown, yes. But this is a big medical center. Lots of vehicular traffic to navigate - including transit center buses and MetroLink trains.

It's good to have an option to avoid them if one desires.

Also, this connector - albeit lengthy - doesn't cover the entire medical center.

There will be ground-level pedestrian foot traffic.
