Over the next two years, Johnson and his partners hope to rehab two vacant buildings as offices and lofts, add a hotel, build a parking garage and create a complex for retailers and restaurants out of shipping containers.

Johnson, of Renaissance Development Associates, first has his sights on the Mendenhall Building (a name likely derived because of its former life as the home of Mendenhall Ford) at 2315 Locust Street, just east of Jefferson Avenue.
Quote:
By the summer, he hopes to start tackling the Beaumont Telephone Exchange Building, the historic structure at 2650 Locust Street once used as a long-distance telephone switching station. Partnering with the principals of Twain Financial Partners on the project, Johnson plans roughly 60 loft apartments and more office spaces in the 100,000-square-foot building — a feat that has eluded past developers.
Today, more information regarding Ballpark Village Phase 2 got out courtesy of the Cordish Companies. New Renderings came with it as well. Basically, One Life Fitness, PwC and Wahlburger are all confirmed tenants of the $260 Million expansion. They come as a compliment to the Live! By Loews announced on the 4th of October. Construction is supposed to begin the December and wrap up in early 2020.
Now this last rendering is pretty interesting as it shows a new perspective looking South down Broadway at the 30 Floor Tower. Really shows the scale that it will be viewed from when on the street at Broadway and Walnut.
Based on how things are doing elsewhere in the Midwest, if this Phase of Ballpark Village does well, which all signs point to it being pretty good, it could spur more downtown STL construction and push to a full build out of Ballpark Village by 2026. The area around the stadium will also become hotter real estate on non-game days and create a entirely new neighborhood that is alive year round.
Could be way before 2026. Depending on how fast apartments are leased, we could see construction of hi-rises on phase III before phase II is even finished. I believe that is what happen in KC, after One Light was built. Cordish is definitely in the money making business, if the market and INCENTIVES are there, we will see construction of phase III pretty quick.
Developer plans lofts, offices and shipping-container shopping
In regards to this project, I made a map in y story on Building St. Louis about the lay out of the development. It will activate the streetscape from 28th and Locust to Beaumont and Locust.
This is going to make a huge visual impact to this intersection. It will also help connect downtown west and midtown alley/Wells Fargo. Love the design for the hotel and retail/garage and restoring those other building that have been sitting vacant for decades is icing on the cake.
Didn't see this coming, so this is a great Friday surprise!
Spencer Development has applied for a $12 million zoning permit for it’s mixed use development planned for the wedge between Manchester and Chouteau. At the east entrance to The Grove, the seven story project at 4101 Manchester will include 33 residential units, a floor of offices, first floor retail and structured parking.
With the former site of Church’s Chicken now demolished, development plans are moving forward at the southeast corner of Skinker and Delmar Blvd in the Loop.
One of the city’s truly great neighborhoods is seeing reinvestment after decades of neglect. Plans for 43 new and renovated housing units in the Ville will be one step closer to fruition once the city’s Planning Commission approves zoning changes this Wednesday. Northside Community Housing is partnering with Rise Community Development on the $10.3 million development at North Sarah and St. Ferdinand Ave about half a mile north of McCormack Baron Salazar’s successful North Sarah redevelopment.
A St. Louis developer is moving ahead with plans to convert the former Metro headquarters at 701 N. 1st Street in Laclede’s Landing into mixed use residential. Advantes Development closed on the historic seven story Christian Peper building in August and has spent the last eight months preparing for the project. They filed an initial $3.5 million building permit this week.
Operating under the name Peper Lofts LLC, the developer plans for between between 49 and 51 residential units on the upper floors. The lower levels will include office and retail space. Their hope is to have units available beginning summer 2018. An earlier plan had included 26 residential units plus office space. Current plans have grown that residential component. Metro vacated the 106,000 square foot building in 2015. Advantes was awarded $5 million in New Market Tax Credits earlier this year.
Good deal, but here's to hoping these don't end up looking like they are designed for midgets. And why do so many of these sit on grade like that, is it too much to ask for a freaking stoop?

lol I was thinking the same thing. Also, I wish they could find room in the budget for better siding. Obviously wood siding is out for new construction, but there is some faux wood siding that looks much better than the vinyl crap.
New renderings were submitted to the city of Clayton this week by Fleherty & Collins Properties for the proposed Shaw Park Apartments at 8046 Forsyth.
