Crown Square Receives Development of the Year Award PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 12 October 2009 07:16

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.

RHCDA is Regional Housing and Community Development Alliance, a nonprofit organization that creates and supports the alliances that make smart, sustainable neighborhood revitalization possible in the St. Louis region.

"We are really glad to have RHCDA as a resource.  We truly value their experience and commitment to foster redevelopment in our city, especially in neighborhoods that would not otherwise receive the financing or the support to make it happen on their own." 

- Barbara Geisman, Executive Director for Development, Office of the Mayor, City of St. Louis
