RHCDA and Crown Square were honored with a Developer/Development of the Year award last Friday at the annual City of St. Louis Business Celebration Luncheon. The awards are presented by Mayor Francis Slay and the St. Louis Development Corporation to real estate development projects that "most dramatically convert a catalytic vision for St. Louis into bricks and mortar." Crown Square, developed in partnership with the Old North St. Louis Restoration Group, is the historic rehabilitation of a long-abandoned and deteriorated pedestrian mall located in the 2600 and 2700 blocks of North 14th Street. The $35 million development includes 80 mixed-income town homes, apartments, live-work spaces and lofts, as well as 33,500 square feet of commercial space. The development represents the first effort to bring commerical, retail, and job creation strategies to the broader Crown Village revitalization effort in the Old North St. Louis neighborhood.
