Opportunities to create large scale development in our inner cities are rare. An opportunity to rebuild an entire failed inner city from scratch is even rarer. Blighted inner cities cannot be revitalized without new employers attracted by large development footprints.
This St. Louis Project, the result of uncommon private sector risk taking, presents a rare opportunity to rebuild one of our larger inner cities and showcase what the best in our state-of-the-art, green infrastructure can do to make our communities economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.
The conceptual plan for the NorthSide, shown on the left, illustrates one way that the design of the employment centers can give the City of St. Louis the opportunity to attract employers who demand the infrastructure necessary to run a successful business of the future. With those employers comes jobs and with those jobs comes the need for a new type of community that recognizes the past by preserving the heritage of the place, and the future by designing for new technologies and urban development.
Upon completion, it has been approximated that the NorthSide can sustain the following yields:
Office/Business space: 4,500,000 sq ft
Retail: 1,000,000 sq ft
Residential: 10,000 units
Hotel: 240 rooms
