The new $75-million Scott McKinley Research Building @ Washington University Medical Center is now under construction just blocks from the new Shriners-St. Louis Hospital, which is also under construction.

Scheduled to open in June 2015, the 6-story, 181,000 square foot research lab facility features include a full basement and penthouse built for WUSM and their various lab departments of genetics, genome sciences and systems biology, internal medicine, developmental biology and radiology. Each department will also have conference rooms, support areas and offices.

It will be a LEED v2009 Silver Building. The project will be built in the heart of the medical school campus on an existing parking lot and will tie to an existing adjacent buiding and two future buildlings with underground tunnel connections. The skin consists of stone and curtainwall.

Architectural renderings, below, designed by the Christner Inc. and Goody Clancy collaborative.

An aerial construction photo of The Lofts @ Washington University project shows the project's large footprint. The project is in the middle part of the Delmar Loop strip.

When complete, the project will include retail space on Delmar, 240-265 apartments that will house 550-600 occupants and underground parking for residents.

It will support and enhance the Delmar Loop by providing approximately 22,000 sq. ft. of new retail space, filling a significant gap in the existing retail corridor.

New renderings have emerged for Brown Shoe Company's (F1000) new 17-story headquarters to be located in downtown Clayton.

The company is the parent to Naturalizer, Famous Footwear, Sam & Libby, Dr. Scholl's, LifeStride, Connie, Buster Brown etc.

The company originally proposed a new headquarters in 2008, but the recession put the brakes on the project. The current renderings are different from the original designs.

Also, Brown Shoe's stock ran into trouble during the recession, but has recovered since and the company has become one of the recent surprises on Wall Street.

Also read: Brown Shoe 'dazzled' in 2012, U.S. News reports

No word yet on when the project will break ground, but Brown Shoe's current headquarters is bursting at the seams after moving its Famous Footwear division to St. Louis in 2008.

Here's a Phase I construction update on the Ballpark Village project going up in the southeast part of downtown St. Louis.

The $100 million first phase of Ballpark Village will include the development of new venue sponsored by Anheuser-Busch that celebrates the brewer's rich history in St. Louis and its global reach, as well as the construction of a three story building housing a world-class Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum and Cardinals-themed restaurant that will feature seating decks with views directly into Busch Stadium. These destination venues will be connected by public event space known as the Live Plaza that promises to be a vibrant gathering space throughout the year, not just during the baseball season.

The two-story, 20,000 + sq. ft. Budweiser Brew House will provide the opportunity to showcase AB's storied history in St. Louis and the global reach of its brands.

The first phase of Ballpark Village will also be anchored by a first-of-its-kind Cardinals venue to be called Cardinals Nation.

Cardinals Nation will total over 30,000 square feet and span three levels. Cardinals Nation will have three parts: a two story restaurant, a Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum, and a 300+ seat roof top deck with spectacular views of the game across Clark Street.

I like the Budweiser project. Being down here in Arkansas, I see a bit of AB history from time to time in downtown Van Buren as there is still an 1890's Anheuser Busch Ice House still standing. IT still has much of the original detail inside including the bar back and front but it's a hobby shop.

Last week, the final construction beam was put into place for the new $48-million St. Louis Shriners Hospital @ Washington University Medical Center. See renderings here.

Video Link


Plans for the new 90,000 square foot hospital include 12 inpatient beds, three surgical suites, and 18 clinic examination rooms. It also features enhanced space for its clinical research center for metabolic bone diseases and more room for same-day surgery patients. Other additions to benefit patients are nine rooms for outpatient family housing, a state of the art interactive and educational activity area and dedicated space for collaborative research with Washington University scientists.

Washington University has about $500-million in Danforth Campus projects under way or recently completed.

One of them is the $60-million George Warren Brown School of Social Work, which recently broke ground.

In 1934, Washington University in St. Louis constructed Brown Hall on its campus — the world’s first “bricks-and-mortar” building of a school of social work.

Nearly 80 years later, the Brown School, an international leader in educating students in social work and public health, will take the next, necessary steps to ensure it remains a catalyst for change long into the 21st century when site prep work begins on a two-year, $60 million-expansion of its facilities.

The Shriners Hospital project is chugging along overlooking I-64 in the Central Corridor. New highway ramps and exits are still under construction.

New residential developments are under construction and planned near the expanding Washington University Medical Center and CORTEX.

After mostly languishing for nearly three years, it's good to see that this project will be wrapping up.......finally.

Roberts Tower, completed in late 2010, started construction just before the recession hit. Then bankrupt developers and transference of the property to new developers had stalled its interior build-out.

After the interior build-out is complete, this project's cost will total $72-million.

Roberts Tower set for spring 2014 completion
Brian Feldt
Reporter-
St. Louis Business Journal

The Roberts Tower, the $22 million development that will ultimately house 132 upscale apartments, will be completed sometime in spring 2014, the project’s developer said Tuesday.

The tower is being developed by UrbanStreet Group, a Chicago-based developer that bought the building in October 2012 as part of a $16.5 million deal that also included Michael and Steven Roberts’ Mayfair Hotel and their Locust Street properties, located adjacent to the unfinished tower.

Lisa Knight Cioffi, senior vice president and marketing coordinator at UrbanStreet Group, said the firm is working to determine if the company will pre-lease the apartments or if leasing will begin when the 25-story tower opens in the spring.

The developer declined to give a more specific time frame for completion.

The Roberts Tower was originally planned as a $70 million, 55-unit luxury condominium project. But the building sat mostly unfinished between 2007 — when the project broke ground — and January 2013, when UrbanStreet Group began its rehabilitation of the building.

Cioffi said the group is working on leasing the first floor, but did not share details on what prospective tenants might be interested or best suited for the building.

The Roberts brothers put all of their St. Louis properties up for sale in June 2012, including the downtown buildings.

The brothers invested $50 million in the tower. They also invested millions of dollars more in the Mayfair Hotel, the Locust Street properties and others.

NextSTL.com, a reliable source of civic and development news in and around St. Louis has reported that Columbus, OH developer, Hallmark Communities, is proposing a 206-unit, 4-story apartment complex project to be called West Pine Lofts.

The project would anchor the corner of Sarah Street and West Pine Boulevard in the Central West End just blocks away from St. Louis University.

The proposal is also down the street from the proposed 177-unit, 7-story Citywalk Apartments, which is to built at Euclid @ West Pine Boulevard.

Work continues on Washington University's $90-million Olin School of Business. The $90 million expansion will be the largest project to date on the university's Danforth campus.

The school tore down Elliot Hall and part of McMillan Hall to construct two interconnected, five-story buildings that will add a combined 166,000 square feet of classroom, office and meeting space. The project is funded, in part, by $25 million in gifts from Joanne and Charles Knight, chairman emeritus of Emerson Electric Co., and Carol and George Bauer, a retired IBM executive, who gave $15 million and $10 million respectively.

The new Knight Hall and Bauer Hall, along with the existing Knight Executive Education and Conference Center, will house Olin’s graduate and professional education facilities. The undergraduate program will remain at Simon Hall, currently one of the largest buildings on the campus with 80,000 square feet.

This new structure will actually be two new buildings. These buildings will be an expansion of the Olin Business School, which was recently ranked No. 4 overall in the Best Undergraduate Business Schools ranking published by Bloomberg Businessweek.

The new 73,000-square-foot Bauer Hall will complement and blend with the Collegiate Gothic architectural style of its neighbors on the Danforth Campus.

As construction and demolition work continues around St. Louis' CORTEX Innovation Community - an updated website has been launched for the emerging district.

The CORTEX Innovation Community is anchored by the Washington University and St. Louis University medical centerrs. So far, over $1.5-billion in new projects are planned for the area including: new hospitals, new research and innovation labs, residential, retail, health care facilities, a new MetroLink station, new streetscape and plazas. The area is transforming from an old industrial corridor to one of high sciences and health care.

Below are new photos of the $186-million in projects currently underway.















Below, is the future home to Cambridge Innovation Center in St. Louis. The famed Boston incubator is opening its first location outside of Boston.













Progress on the new bridge and ramps into the growing corridor.
