Big Plans for Chouteau in Lafayette Square

Chouteau Avenue will be transformed into a dense, mixed-use urban center along the northern edge of the Lafayette Square neighborhood if current plans move forward. The 5-block proposal by Bill Odell and HOK shows high-density residential at the southeast corner of Jefferson and Chouteau.

More multi-family residential and a possible hotel continue east along Chouteau, with coworking units and street-level retail mixed in. In the blocks further south, heights will decrease, with townhomes backing up the hill to the historic streets closer to Lafayette Park. Throughout the development, rooftop decks will take advantage of expansive views of Downtown. Streets will be walkable. Parking plans include a mixture of structured and street parking. Heights will range from three to ten stories. A new public park will sit at the heart of the development. Article published in NextSTL.
