My go-to guy from Brooks Brothers, Tyler Mackie, moved to work with the Bespoke Twins-Mark and Marlon Austin. It was fun visiting their Clayton office to see all of the exciting fabric options
More Development in Clayton!
New Development to 8125 Forsyth
Do you guys remember our post from last week about the beautiful new development project that has been proposed in Clayton? Well, it seems that the new development that is in the works for 8125 Forsyth is just the first stage in a new hotel, retail, residential, and entertainment project proposed for downtown Clayton. The final project, which would develop over the next few years, could come to include 230 room hotel, 62 residential units, more than 200,000 square feet of office space, restaurants, luxury, shopping, and even an ice area/amphitheater in Shaw Park!
Apogee Associates, who submitted the project to Clayton officials, stated in the proposal that this project “goes so much further to cement Clayton’s place as a destination, not just for office but a Live-Work-Play destination for generations to come.” Apogee is hoping to create a sort of “Rodeo Drive” effect with the high end shopping boutiques and luxury apartments above.
Unfortunately, at this point Apogee Associates has yet to release more detailed images of the development and what is planned. Once we know more we will be sure to share it.
New $55 Million Development!
Demolished!
The corner of Maryland and Gay, which once was a part of the Brown Shoe Complex, will soon be the home to a new $55 million dollar project from Covington Development. The city has approved the project to build a five-story mixed use building which will become known as The Vanguard. The Vanguard will include some 225 luxury condo units as well as many high-end boutique retail shops. These types of “mixed use” buildings which includes both residential and commercial space are becoming much more popular in the Chicago and NYC markets, and now right here in St. Louis. The project is beginning this summer and should be completed by 2017! Take a look at the progress of the demolition below. Check back in the future for a post on its progress!
Clayton has torn down a lot of its wonderful midcentury buildings. The one that was torn down here was just a bad 80’s-90’s office building, so I don’t see it as much of a loss. Clayton has not had a new condo development in many years, it will be exciting to have new, fresh condo inventory to sell!
Covington Development also recently completed the new ‘West Pine Lofts‘ in the central west end near SLU.
