From CityScene STL: A Kimpton Hotel, Staybridge Suites, and apartment building could be the three components that finally start to reconnect Downtown West to Midtown at Jefferson.
The renderings, found on the Midas Capital website, reveal what could in store for the area around the Jefferson and Market intersection.
Details on the developments are scarce right now, but some, including myself, have pointed out that there has been some fencing up around the northwest corner of the Jefferson and Market intersection for a while now. That site is where two hotels are planned, and they may or may not include demolition of the old office building on that property. Renderings show this site being occupied by a Staybridge Suites hotel (rear and northern portions of the site with an entrance on Beaumont Street) and a Kimpton Hotel with a rooftop bar and second floor restaurant.
The hotel plans are set back from Market Street a bit to allow for the Brickline Greenway and a landscaped buffer zone. Despite the setback, the plans are a major improvement over what’s there now.
City property records show that the site is owned by Green Street, so this development is highly likely to be a development partnership (like 10 South Central in Clayton) but that has not yet been confirmed.
On the other side of Jefferson, another interesting development is rendered that could put soccer fans within reach of Centene Stadium.
