A new commercial building which will house a Family Dollar store has been constructed in the Patch neighborhood at 7700 S. Broadway. The building permit amount was $550,000. The site has been a vacant lot for many years.

Notably, the construction faces the sidewalk and is flush with the corner, helping to add to the cozy “Main Street” feel of South Broadway.

Aventura Phase One (101 market rate units) is currently underway. It is located in the eastern and central portion of the 4400 block of Chouteau in the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood; Aventura Phase Two will occupy the rear portions of the parcel (actually fronting Papin Street) as well as the corner of Chouteau and Taylor.
Below is a shot of the mostly completed Aventura Phase I Buildings. This aerial was obtained from Washington University Medical Center Development Corporation’s Facebook page.

West End City Apartments is managed by Detroit-based Village Green and includes hundreds of apartments inside the historic Westmoreland, Senate, and Congress buildings near the intersection of Union and Pershing. If plans go accordingly, another brand new, 82-unit building will be added to their portfolio.
Below is a photograph of a rendering found inside the West End City Apartments Leasing Office. According to the leasing agent, the development is nearly financed and a groundbreaking is being planned soon. No specific date or time frame for construction is available, however.

The Southtowne Apartments project in Dutchtown at Delor and Spring is well underway.
A February 5, 2013 article in the St. Louis Post Dispatch’s Building Blocks blog has the details:
Underway in south St. Louis is redevelopment of the Southtowne Apartments, a complex on South Spring Avenue near St. Mary’s High School.
The St. Louis Regional Housing and Community Development Alliance and the Dutchtown South Community Corp. are doing the $9 million project jointly. Some redone apartments will be available this month. When completed, Southtowne will have 40 rehabbed units and 11 new apartments.
RHCDA, a non-profit housing developer, is reconfiguring the site by demolishing 15 buildings, rehabilitating the remaining 10 and constructing six new buildings. The result will be 51 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and a management office.
Below are recent photographs of a portion of the site.
