Looking east from Art Hill in Forest Park, I now realize we have a 3rd skyline in STL. The always popular Central West End has been busy re-building itself the last few years, mostly with health care and residential, plus entrepreneurial Cortex. The view captures the Kingshighway side, with the Chase on the left and BJC on the right. The crane at left middle will be the One Hundred, a strikingly modern 36 floor apartment tower that will reach 75 feet taller than the Chase, image from Studio Gang Architect website.
Several of the newer residential towers in the CWE are condos for purchase, including a renovation of the Chase Park Plaza. These high end units mimic Clayton prices, at the top of STL pricing. Downtown has more affordable space, with many renovated lofts in the last 20 years, and a new 29 story apartment tower going up in Ballpark Village.
Feeling a bit more suburban? There are smaller scale developments in Kirkwood, St Charles, and Creve Coeur, among other growing walkable communities. If you have a desire to purchase a piece of the sky, and be in the middle of the action, contact me now to get into some of these units and decide if it is right for you!
