Beyond the food component, the $230 million-plus development calls for several dozen retailers and office space. (Eighty-five percent percent of the latter is already leased.) A pedestrian-only streetway—used for events, art fairs, concerts, a farmers' market, street performers—will run through the complex, and a new bike path will connect the site to other neighborhoods. And an existing railroad trestle is slated to become an elevated walkway, “a downscaled version of New York’s High Line, which will be visible from the highway,” says Smith.

City Foundry Phase 2 is a new 368,000-square-foot, mixed-use residential development in Saint Louis, Missouri. The development includes 282 dwelling units atop a multi-level parking garage, with ground floor commercial retail. Continuing a westward expansion of the newly completed City Foundry Phase 1 development, the new residential building design envisions elegant, compact dwelling units in studio, 1 bedroom and 3 bedroom layouts permitting work/live opportunities on premise, coupled with extraordinary amenity facilities including two outdoor garden terraces at level 8 complete with extensive flowers, trees, swimming and leisure settings. Additional level 13 rooftop indoor/outdoor amenity spaces are included with vistas extending across the entire City Foundry site below and the downtown city of Saint Louis, Mississippi River and Gateway Arch beyond.

As project owner and developer, the Lawrence Group anticipates a fall 2021 commencement of construction. The building will seek Well Building certification and incorporates both natural and mechanical ventilation strategies to optimize systems efficiencies and maintain low energy consumption. The building design also explores modular unit planning with repetitive interior and exterior components, fostering construction schedule and materials cost savings.
