^ nice looking building. the siting, however, is unfortunate. as is the "gated community" part. i do wish the new apartment complex going up in Forest Park SE looked as good as this one.

In addition to the planned $1-billion expansion of the Washington University-Barnes-Jewish Medical Center, CORTEX (St. Louis City's Life Sciences Corridor) recently announced a $186-million dollar expansion of new research facilities.

Below is a portion of Cortex's Midtown massive footprint recently cleared for redevelopment. Excuse the wind.

CORTEX Plans $186 Million in New Biotech Development; 1,400 New Jobs
10/23/2012 7:56:02 AM

ST. LOUIS, Oct 22, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- CORTEX, St. Louis' premiere hub of bioscience and technology research, development and commercialization, is taking significant next steps in its 25-year master plan, today unveiling Phase II of its development that will bring 1,400 new jobs and 384,000 square feet of additional lab and office space to the district.

Located in the City of St. Louis' "Midtown" area, CORTEX (CORTEX) was founded in 2002 with a $29 million investment from founding partners Washington University in St. Louis, BJC Healthcare, University of Missouri-St. Louis, Saint Louis University, and the Missouri Botanical Garden -- academic and research institutions that sought to leverage their resources and research to grow technology industry throughout the region.

"Ten years ago we had a vision to transform an aging 200-acre industrial area into a vibrant, technology district," said John Dubinsky, Chairman of CORTEX. "CORTEX has since become an unquestioned success, positioning St. Louis as an emerging, national center of bioscience, technology, and innovation."

Dennis Lower, President & CEO of CORTEX, noted that, "Phase II will take CORTEX to the next level, generating $186 million in new development from our founders and through a partnership with Wexford Science and Technology (Wexford Science & Technology), a leading national research park developer. These investments will raise the CORTEX total of well-paying technology and building service jobs to approximately 2,400, further reinforcing St. Louis as a national innovation leader."


Facts about the CORTEX Phase II development include:

-- Phase II will deliver 384,000 square feet of additional lab and office space, bringing the total to over 1,000,000 square feet of facilities on $350 million of investment since its inception.

-- BJC will build a 200,000 square foot, $45 million office building that will house 1,000 employees in the center of CORTEX.

-- In December, Wexford will purchase the 190,000 square foot historic Heritage warehouse building from CORTEX and undertake a $73 million lab and office renovation, as well as contribute $7.35 million toward public infrastructure. Approximately 400 jobs will be created in the Heritage building.

-- Phase II includes a $26 million investment by Wexford Science & Technology to purchase the CORTEX I building.

-- Delivery of 1,400 additional jobs with an average annual wage of $55,000 to $60,000.

-- Creation of public infrastructure:

-- BJC will contribute $6.75 million toward public infrastructure development, and $4.9 million toward construction of the new I-64 interchange at Tower Grove and Boyle.

--Washington University will contribute $4.9 million toward construction of the new I-64 interchange.

-- MoDOT will contribute $16 million to construct the new I-64 interchange.

-- Roughly $15 million is being used for new streetscapes and a linear public park, CORTEX Commons -- an amenity not only for CORTEX tenants, but for neighbors in our surrounding neighborhoods. Washington University lease guarantees:

-- -- Washington University has provided lease guarantees to Wexford for a portion of both CORTEX 1 and the Heritage buildings so that Wexford can secure favorable debt financing; Wexford is responsible for leasing approximately 60 percent of the space to commercial tenants.

-- --Washington University will lease a portion of the Heritage space to house its Office of Technology Management, making a strong statement and commitment to commercialize the University's world class research for the economic gain of the region.

-- -- CORTEX requires District developers to commit to the M/WBE goals reflected in City of St. Louis' Executive Order 28, and is currently evaluating and will soon finalize how best to advance workforce participation objectives in the current and future phases of CORTEX development.

I took photos recently of the Cupples #9 historic warehouse building in Cupples Station, which is on the southern edge of downtown St. Louis. It is coming along nicely - particularly the exterior - as seen below.

The $30-million renovation is nearing completion. The seven-story Cupples Station building, which like the rest of the complex, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Asynchrony Solutions, a St. Louis-based IT firm, Mackey Mitchell Architects and Osborn & Barr, an agriculture-focused marketing firm, will be tenants of the newly-renovated structure.

Cupples #9 also will a have a Flying Saucer Draft Emporium beer hall. Dallas-based Flying Saucer is leasing a ground floor area that includes a patio.

More photos from the SLU Law site before the construction barrier was put into place.

I think this project is going to be a spark for more downtown residential, retail, support services and commercial offerings.

The $186-million Phase II of St. Louis' CORTEX technology park is underway.

BJC Healthcare selected Clayco and Forum Studio to perform design-build services for the core and shell of their new Central Business Office (CBO) in St. Louis’ CORTEX technology park. The technology park is next to the BJC/Washington University Medical Center.

A new 220,000-square-foot facility will consolidate existing office functions currently spread across BJC’s Kingshighway campus. The facility’s architecture will complement the existing buildings in CORTEX and is a kick-off to Phase II.

The five-story, steel framed structure features load bearing architectural walls through the fourth floor, with fifth floor and the entire west elevation of the building featuring curtainwall. The project is scheduled for an early 2013 completion date.





_________________________________________

Although older buildings - which are a part of Phase I and Phase II - will be or have been renovated, new buildings will join these newer structures in the corridor.

Improvements at Forest Park moving from drawing board to bulldozers
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
December 06, 2012 10:30 am • By Tim O’Neil


ST. LOUIS • Another big to-do list in Forest Park is being readied for the heavy machinery.

The new construction projects total $30 million and will complement the $125 million already spent to restore the once-crumbling regional playground and showcase. This second wave of improvements, to be completed over five years, will be paid for through a special bond issue.

The list is heavy on street improvements — necessary, if not headline-grabbing. It also calls for rebuilding more athletic fields, adding year-round restrooms and water fountains for the trail loops, improving three lakes — one with a new waterfall — and rebuilding the upper parking lot at the Muny.

“This is phase two, the next big step,” said Lesley Hoffarth, president of Forest Park Forever. “There still will be things to do, but these constitute the park’s most critical needs today.”

As before, the city is working with Forest Park Forever, the organization established 25 years ago to help save the park. Forest Park Forever will buy the bonds from the city, which will pay for them over time with revenue from current sales taxes and revenue from park concessions.

How well is downtown St. Louis doing?
What is the population of downtown and is the residential growth strong?
How is the city doing overall from an economic/revitalization standpoint?

I was there back in 2003 on a vacation to the city. It seemed like downtown was very quiet and there were a good bit of empty buildings that were in very good shape and ready for businesses to move into. But it lacked the vibrancy that it is very capable of having. Still back then I loved it there. I am sure it has got better since.

Here's progress on St. Louis University's Joe & Loretta Scott Law Center in downtown St. Louis. The building was donated to the university, which decided to use it as the university's law center.

The new school is one block north of the Civic Center district which houses St. Louis City Hall and Justice Center, police/sheriff headquarters, the U.S. Federal Courthouse, state district courts and city courts.

It is expected the new law center will add about 1,200 people to the daytime population of downtown St. Louis - and hopefully some of them will become downtown residents.

Below photos and renderings demonstrate advanced development on a couple of CORTEX (Center of Research, Technology and Entrepreneurial Exchange) projects in St. Louis' Central Corridor. A large swath of St. Louis' industrial valley is getting a makeover. Back in 2005, the city blighted nealy 250 acres in order to make way for CORTEX.

Now that the economy is improving, new development is accelerating. The district is anchored by Washington University Medical Center on the western end and SLUCare (St. Louis University Medical Center) on the east.

CORTEX closes deal for $84 million Heritage warehouse renovation
St. Louis Business Journal by Amir Kurtovic, Reporter

Last Modified: Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 11:28am CST


The deal for one of the biggest parts of CORTEX's $186 million second phase to create a biotech and medical research district in Midtown is closing today.

CORTEX will today sign the final paperwork to sell the 190,000-square-foot historic Heritage warehouse property on Duncan and Boyle avenues to Wexford Science and Technology, a national research park developer, said John Dubinsky, chairman of CORTEX.

Wexford is on a very fast schedule to redevelop the property and will begin construction as soon as this week, Dubinsky said.

The Heritage building will undergo an $84 million redevelopment into lab and office space and already has 84,000 square feet preleased, Dubinsky said. Future tenants at the building have not yet been announced.

Wexford Science & Technology will do $84 million in renovations at the historic Heritage warehouse building Duncan and Boyle avenues to turn it into lab and office space for biotech and medical companies.

An unused quarry in West St. Louis County could become a major mixed-use development. I guess you could call this proposed project a "refill". LOL!
______________________________

Filled-in quarry could become high-end apartments, retail shops and more
Posted 08/13/12 3:16 pm / no comments

By MOLLY JAMES



FoxTower, a St. Louis commercial real estate partnership of TriStar Properties, is seeking approval to allow development of the unincorporated 26-acre site located near the border of Town & Country and Des Peres. The project site, a recently filled quarry now aptly named The Quarry at Des Peres, would potentially include retail and housing development with an emphasis on apartment-style living.

Forty percent of the land would be dedicated to residential high-end apartments that would be comparable to The Boulevard in Brentwood across from the Galleria. The Quarry apartments would be designed to serve young professionals who work in the nearby office buildings.

Additional land space would be dedicated to restaurants and small neighborhood retail shops.

A hotel could potentially be built and would be positioned on the east side of the property near the office spaces.

The land is centrally located within West County and has easy access to retailers in the area including Nordstrom, Macy’s, Barnes & Noble and JCPenney as well as major employers like the headquarters for Edward Jones, Scottrade and Charter Communications.

Jessica Hardecke, senior communications manager for Charter Communications, said the development would be good for business.

“The apartments at The Quarry will bring more residents to the area, which is good timing for us,” said Hardecke. “Charter is currently in a growth mode, and we are always looking for qualified candidates to join our team.”

Mike Towerman, principle of FoxTower, agreed.

“This is going to produce a substantial number of jobs in the short term with construction opportunities and later on with permanent positions,” he said.

The project has not yet been finalized, but the St. Louis County Planning Commission recommended that the County Council approve a rezoning request that would add mixed zoning instead of commercial to the site. The property is currently zoned for extensive commercial use.

The final decision is scheduled for October after the County Council introduces the ordinance and holds a final vote. City officials in neighboring municipalities have expressed concern over issues of traffic flow and fire and EMS services in the unincorporated area.

“Our number one concern would be the disruption of the traffic for commuters in the morning and evening,” said Doug Harms, city administrator of Des Peres. “We have concerns that the traffic at the intersection of Des Peres and Manchester roads could create backup (after) we spent two decades to solve this issue.”

When asked about his concerns, John Copeland, city administrator for Town & Country, mentioned that the development is not within a fire district or a city with a fire district. One possible way to stave off this concern would be through annexation.

The annexation process begins with a map plan – sent to the County Boundary Commission once every five years before the July 1 deadline. Only properties on a city’s approved annexation map may be included in its annexation requests within that five-year time frame.

The next annexation proposal period begins April 15, 2013.

“The Quarry is included in the map plan for annexation we submitted,” Copeland said, meaning the property could be considered for annexation by Town & Country. However, the process is not an easy one.

Below, this project stalled because of the recession, but has never been taken off the table. It is a proposed project for the Missouri River waterfront in suburban St. Charles.
______________________

Harbor San Carlos - a new mixed-use urban redevelopment in the heart of St. Charles, MO. The project includes a 2-mile Missouri River side channel with roughly $1.3 billion in total development costs. In the planning phases, the project involves inter-agency coordination with St. Charles City & County, the USACE, US Fish & Wildlife, MDNR, and MO Conservation.

When completed, it will be the largest riverfront development on the Missouri River System.

St. Louis-based Drury Hotels is moving ahead on a 210 room, eight-story hotel and restaurant near the St. Louis Galleria and within the mid-county retail corridor.

The 135,000 square-foot hotel will also include a 8,000 square-foot restaurant outparcel.

Construction is expected to start Spring 2013, with a projected opening date sometime in summer of 2014. The project will generate 50 permanent jobs and nearly 120,000 hours in construction jobs.
