Here is some interesting news from our University City Councilmember 1st Ward, Terry Crow. Sounds promising! I wonder what is coming down….maybe that office tower at the SE corner of 170 and Delmar?
"Economic Development at Delmar and Delcrest: I am very pleased to report that we are moving forward with an important new commercial development at this prominent location. It promises to be up to a $30 million project that will include a new Walgreens, office space, and a residential component. The council voted unanimously to approve this. I look forward to working with the development team on this site. Our city has struggled at times with our reputation with the development community. It is my hope that our city administration will work in a cooperative manner with the development team on this project for the benefit of our entire community."
Yes, it’s the mid-century Delcrest tower that’s coming down. And I have a feeling that what replaces it will make some feel nostalgic for overlooking how subtle the old building was by comparison.
