I've seen posts about the North Riverfront bamboo observation tower. I don't believe it's a legitimate proposal but is instead something to try and get investors on board for something else using the new material. "LouTeq" has been exploring this concept for a few years now.

Same architect talked about this building in Wood River over two years ago. I'm not sure if this has been built. xitter.cf/CitySceneSTL/status/18…

Came across this on my LinkedIn this morning. The St. Louis region will be getting its first structurally engineered bamboo building in Wood River. This means we’ll be getting a newer building material before we get a large building built from Cross Laminated Timber.

There’s not a single city in the “Best Value” category that I’d rather live in than St. Louis. Some pretty cool cities in there but STL is just as cool. Great food, free museums and zoos, ton of culture, very navigable. STL’s city/county issue makes the quality metrics deceptive

Up on the Northside in the JeffVanderLou neighborhood, the grand old home at 2932 University Street has been restored. It's now listed for sale for just under $300,000. Projects like these are difficult, but meaningful. They show what's possible. stlouis-mo.gov/government/de…

From a crumbling mess at Chippewa and Bamberger to a restored building hosting a 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom home. Tower Grove CDC completed a great small project on the City's Southside. 3772 Chippewa. towergrovecdc.org/news/2026/…

A tale as old as time… - An investment is made into the neighborhood. - Rents are priced at the market rate for new construction. - The design is better than most things we see built today. - Then come the complaints from social media users about how bad it is.

"Bavarian Row" is completed on Minnesota at Arsenal. It includes 2- and 3-bedroom rental townhomes and 1-bedroom apartments above the carports in the rear. Rents are $1450 per month for a 1-bedroom, $2400 per month for a 2-bedroom, and $2800 per month for a 3-bedroom.

If you don’t like it, or anything similar to it, I advise you to go ahead and build your own the way you want. That way you can prove your point and make the City better in the process. But if the City is a nonstarter, why even opine on this matter?

I encourage City residents, especially those who live along the planned Green Line BRT route, to try and attend one of these open houses if you're able. I also encourage the Board of Aldermen to put the BRT proposal on the spring ballot with no delay. Let residents vote.

After topping out last month, progress continues on Albion West End. Two floors of glass + amenity penthouse walls and glass remain to be installed. Apartments on the lower floors have interior work ongoing with some having appliances brought in.

You can see some interior work going on here. These are on the 6th floor, which is shared with some amenity spaces. These apartments also have much higher ceilings than the others in the building.

The jagged edges of One Hundred contrast nicely with the curved edges of Albion.

The new Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital is looking great. I can't imagine the crane being up for too much longer. This hospital holds a special place in the hearts of my family and we're hopeful this new facility helps children get the care they need for decades to come.

A companion building to these is coming together on Compton at Winnebago. Same development team and a tasteful addition to the Gravois Park neighborhood. xitter.cf/CitySceneSTL/status/20…

Construction progress on two new, 4-family buildings at Keokuk and Ohio. This is part of RiseSTL/Lutheran Development Group’s Marquette Homes project. That larger project includes the redevelopment of the Grandview Arcade & construction of several affordable single-family homes.

Across Winnebago, it seems like this home is one of many in the neighborhood undergoing renovation. It's great to see old homes fixed up for new residents. Fewer vacant buildings and more residents helps the City's tax base and public safety while building equity. Win-win-win!

AHM Group is the developer. AHM renovated the old Bavarian Inn at the same intersection. A vacant corner lot exists between both of these and seems like it could be an infill site later on. More of these would be welcome, preferably with some for sale. xitter.cf/CitySceneSTL/status/16…

Work continues on the redevelopment of the Bavarian Inn building, and neighboring multi-family building, at Arsenal and Minnesota. It's looking great!

The restoration of the Garavaglia Building is chugging along. Brick has been relaid, a new roof has been installed, and the interior wood structure has been stabilized. New copper details have been installed. New windows are beginning to be installed. xitter.cf/CitySceneSTL/status/13…

The next building that I want to see renovated in the Gate District - Garavaglia Foods at Lafayette and Nebraska. Lafayette between Jefferson and Compton is becoming an interesting street with both new and old homes and buildings next to each other.

Since the previous update, the building is looking better. It'll be great once all of the windows are in and the scaffolding comes down. xitter.cf/CitySceneSTL/status/20…
