4101 Manchester to Resume Construction

From CityScene STL: In Late June, foundation work at the 4101 Manchester site stopped and workers disappeared. Since then, the site has been dormant. A pile of rebar sits in the Southeast corner of the site waiting to be connected to the already drilled foundation piers to form footings. Now, a building permit application to the City signals that construction will resume on the site.
On September 9th, a building permit application, in the amount of $3.2 Million, was submitted to the City to construct the building’s structural concrete. That building permit has yet to be issued but offers the first sign of progress on the site since June. Oddly enough, the building permit applied for on 9/9/19 has a developer name of Paramount Property Development (according to Geo St. Louis). A Google Search brings that company back to 4321 Manchester. It is said that Matt Spencer, developer of 4101, was involved in that project.
While the cost of the new building design has never been made public, it’s expected to be over $12 Million, which was the previous cost estimate under the Trivers design. The new design, designed by Los Angeles based Sam Franklin Marshall, is almost certainly more in cost due to the curved glass and interesting façade. It is believed that the curved detailing and other interesting concrete accents will be precast.
