House & Community Tour - Just 3 Days Away! And Some Good Media Coverage Too
Word is spreading like wildfire, with a lot of media folks starting to pick up on how impressive everything is in Old North St. Louis - and how all of it will be on display this coming Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Old North St. Louis House & Community Tour. See below for some links to recent media coverage, but first we would like to offer a sneak preview of one of the buildings along Crown Square that will be open on the day of the tour:
The historic rehab of the building at 2607 N. 14th is almost complete. It will offer some phenomenal apartments and fantastic commercial space.
In March of 2008, the building was in pretty sad shape.
This type of redevelopment is winning support from all over the place. Just this morning, Charlie Brennan had some very kind things to say about the great progress being achieved in Old North St. Louis on his KMOX radio program. As of today, you can find a link to his interview with Sean Thomas, ONSLRG’s executive director, on the KMOX webpage - or you can click right here to listen: charliebrennanshow050609reonslhousetour
The KMOX website features a link to today's show with comments about the Old North St. Louis House & Community Tour.
Meanwhile, a publication called St. Louis Construction News and Real Estate not only commends the Crown Square development, they have decided to present the development team with their Regional Excellence Award for Neighborhood Redevelopment. You can read more about that on their website by clicking here. The judges noted that Crown Square is “one of the largest and most exciting neighborhood redevelopment projects in the city. In addition to breathing new life into the abandoned buildings along the former mall, this development will restore the 2600 and 2700 blocks of N. 14th Street as a drivable but pedestrian-friendly street.” Congratulations to all, including Old North St. Louis Restoration Group’s co-developers, RHCDA, our general contractor, E. M. Harris Construction Co., and architects, Rosemann & Associates.
Come see what the buzz is all about on Saturday, May 9 at the Old North St. Louis House & Community Tour. Click right here for more details or to purchase your tickets online.
