The Grove

Forest Park Southeast, known as The Grove, is one of St. Louis' most interesting and historic neighborhoods. Recently, Restoration St. Louis has brought more than 60 properties into The Grove, most of them abandoned commercial buildings and vacant lots. Running contrary to the current condo craze, Restoration St. Louis has rehabbed empty buildings as affordable apartments.

Theresa Park Lofts

The Harris Teacher's College, named for William Torrey Harris, a former St. Louis superintendent of schools and United States Commissioner of Education, served as one of two teachers' colleges in the city of St. Louis at that time. It would later merge due to integration with Stowe Teacher's College, named for Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, to become what is now Harris-Stowe University. Primary construction of the building was completed in 1902 and was designed by nationally renowned schoolhouse designer William B. Itner, whose firm also designed about half of St. Louis' historic school buildings. Appalled to discover the structure was targeted to be razed to make way for a Walgreens, Restoration STL intervened and purchased the school from the St. Louis Public School System in April 2004. Theresa School was the first school building to be placed back into service following acquisition from the school system and now houses 35 unique, loft-style apartments. The property now boasts luxurious amenities for tenants including a washer/dryer in each spacious unit, a hot tub, fitness center, gated parking, hardwood floors, and dramatic 16-foot windows.

Midtown

Shortly after the turn of the new millennium, St. Louis' long neglected midsection went through a dramatic transformation into a hotbed of entertainment and culture. With St. Louis University Medical Campus as an anchor, Midtown offers a myriad of cultural distractions: The Fabulous Fox Theatre, The St. Louis Symphony at Powell Hall, The Sheldon, The Contemporary Art Museum, the Moolah Theatre & Bowling Lanes and much more.

 

Lindell-Vandeventer

Originally the Peveley Apartment Building, this property was rehabbed in the late 1990s and now features 30 apartments. With two and three bedroom options, the adjacency to St. Louis University together with multiple, spacious layouts, make these units a popular choice for students.









Lindell Towers West

Lindell Towers West served as a hotel and then an apartment building until it's purchase from Sterling Properties in 2001. While the original floor-plans were maintained, all core systems were completely revamped, including the addition of central heating and air conditioning for every unit. This was completed in an unheard of 45 working days (90 calendar days). The property features 91 spacious apartments, an opulent lobby, fitness center and underground parking.




Lindell Towers East

Formerly the Mark Twain Apratments, This Flemish inspired high-rise was designed by Pleitsche & Prince, Inc. for the Lewis-Marr Investment Company in 1927. Off-white terracotta frames a dramatic two-story arched entrance at street level while three columns of dark tan brick soar overhead; all of this is capped by a nostalgic Flemish rooftop which can be seen from nearly anywhere in midtown. Unlike other projects where we repurposed a space into living space, this project meant restoring and improving existing living spaces. Floor-plans were expanded and modern amenities were added including central heating and air conditioning and high-speed internet access.


Moolah Garage

AIA Award-Winning Design featuring 746 Parking spaces, rooftop pool, security monitoring, secured entry, bike racks, and elevator access.

The Moolah

The Moolah Temple building, designed by Ernest Helfenstellar of the firm Helfenstellar, Hirsch, and Watson in 1912, is a 4 story Moorish modern structure designed for the Moolah Shriners, a Masonic fraternal order. The building sat vacant and in extreme disrepair for several years after the Shriners moved their headquarters to West St. Louis County. Prospective developers analyzed the Temple, but none were able to reconcile their visions with the unique challenges inherent to the structure until Restoration STL stepped in with a plan and the initiative to pull it off in 2002. As work commenced, excavation teams uncovered incredible things such as plaster chandeliers, patterned terrazzo floors, and other lavish details. Wherever possible these interior details were painstakingly restored, enhancing the charm and character of this architectural gem.

Today, the interior theatre, orginally designed for the Shrine rituals, has been reborn into a single-screen movie palace in the spirit of the golden-era of cinema. The theatre showcases ornate plaster detailing the state-of-the-art fiber-optic lit dome which threatens to upstage any action on the largest screen in St. Louis. The uniqueness of the theatre doesn't stop at just surface ornamentation: on the terrace level below, an 8 lane boutique bowling alley and bar have been added, bringing nightlife that this block of Lindell hasn't seen since the early to mid-20th century. The fly-space behind the screen accommodates 6 stories of apartments through clever design and deft engineering. Behind the extra insulated walls are 40 loft-style apartments, making The Moolah Temple the hottest address on Lindell.


Coronado Place

Coronado Hotel, designed by Preston Bradshaw, opened its doors to the public in 1923, before it’s completion in 1925. Opened as a luxury hotel, Coronado Hotel the fashionable place to meet, marry and have a drink at the Coal Hole, the hotel’s then restaurant well into the ‘50s. However, as the population began to move to the suburbs, so did its revenue and businesses and the Coronado was abandoned until it was purchased by Saint Louis University in 1964. The University attempted to keep it as a residence hall and closed its doors for the final time in 1986. Fifteen years later, the once grand hotel went under a multi-million dollar restoration, creating over 100 jobs and casting a spark for the housing market in the area. The Coronado, once one of the very few apartments in the area at the time, is now rubbing shoulders with over 20 different housing communities in this newly revitalized neighborhood. The Coronado currently houses a Caribbean themed restaurant, 180 studio, 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, a grand ballroom and lobby for weddings and receptions and Class A office space.

This tight-knit community features great neighborhood bars and restaurants centered around an enormous indoor/outdoor Farmers' Market, which has been in operation for over a century.

 

Cloisters

 
 

Completed in 1887, this structure served as the first Carmelite Monastery west of the Mississippi River. The site of this building was originally closed for its seclusion from the bustling downtown St. Louis. Since then, Cloisters has stood as an urban oasis within what is now the historic Soulard neighborhood. The original structure was constructed in the shape of a Roman cross to reflect its religious purpose. Many decades and new ownership brought several additions to the building; however the cross is still discernible. One exterior wall also remains which contains ornate reliefs depicting the Stations of the Cross. The building severed as the Little Flower Nursing Home from 1974 until it's purchase by Restoration STL in 2003. Though the building's severe state of disrepair required a 4 month interior demolition and stabilization process, crews were able to save many details including breathtaking stained glass, marble and hardwood floors, and architectural details. Cloisters now houses 22 unique apartments featuring private patios, washer/dryers, high-speed internet access, and a fitness center. Surrounding the apartments are peaceful, private, oasis-like grounds which feature a swimming pool, entertainments spaces, and a Zen garden.

The Warrior Hotel

Both The Warrior and Davidson properties, built in 1930 and 1913, respectively, have been vacant for the past 40 years, and are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Funding for the renovation project is supported by nearly $18 million in assistance approved by the Iowa Department of Economic Development, including $16.5 million in State Historic Tax Credits and $5 million in the form of loans and grants from the City of Sioux City.

Working in association with BSI Constructors, Inc., FEH Architects, and Checkmate Design, Restoration St. Louis rehabbed the original terra cotta ornamentation and brick exterior of the buildings, including the infamous Warrior icons, and ornate buffalo heads.

Davenport, Iowa

Hailed as the nation's most livable city by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Davenport is the third largest city in Iowa and the regional beacon for the Quad-Cities region. Founded in 1836, the city is currently enjoying its greatest revitalization in 80 years, including an expansive River Renaissance. It boasts of the River Music Experience, Freight House Farmer's Market, and internationally recognized Figge Art Museum as an architectural icon, not to mention many historic significant properties by renowned architects, along Davenport's magnificent riverfront.

Hotel Blackhawk

This once glorious, high-end Blackhawk Hotel was built in 1915 during an economic boom in Davenport. It originally was a seven-story hotel but in the 1920s, with money flowing into the city, four more stories were added. This created a 400 room brick hotel, with a fancy frontage, complete with marble accents around the windows.

During its long history, prominent guests stayed at the Blackhawk Hotel, from movie stars to politicians. Carey Grant, Carl Sandburg, Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon and Jack Dempsey were some of its more distinguished guests.

In the late 1970s, the economic growth that Davenport had enjoyed flat-lined. The city of Davenport jumped into action and took urban renewal seriously, building a new civic center, called The RiverCenter, a good first step in their attempt to revitalize downtown. Over the years, this effort to revitalize downtown Davenport has proven to be an uphill battle in which they have made good progress, seeing improvements as a result of their efforts.

In the 1990s, when the economy picked up, a convention center was built near the Blackhawk Hotel. Many new additions and renovations to existing buildings took place and the construction of new buildings, such as the Figge Art Museum, brought new energy into the city. Plans to attract visitors downtown started with sprucing up their outside public areas, such as the fixing up of Modern Woodmen Park. In order to develop the riverfront area and build a new hotel, which was badly needed, the city struck a deal with a gambling organization, The Isle of Capri, who also bought the Blackhawk Hotel.

The hotel reopened as The President Casino's Blackhawk Hotel, with close proximity to a gaming casino. Due to a fire, the inside of the hotel, particularly one floor, was heavily damaged. Other floors suffered water damage as a result of firemen’s hoses. The hotel finally closed in February 2006. This closing left the convention center in a rough situation, as there was now only one hotel, the Radisson, to take its visitors, thus making it hard to book shows and conventions there.

In April 2009, the Blackhawk Hotel was sold directly to an experienced, enthusiastic restoration/renovation company, Restoration St. Louis.

The project was completed in December of 2010. Restoration St. Louis’ main goal was to make the Blackhawk a place to be once again. Modern renovations have been made to the rooms, but Restoration St. Louis wanted to maintain a 1920s feel in the lobby, taking guests back in time to the period the Hotel Blackhawk was first built. The historic lobby was restored and the original chandelier and marble flooring have been preserved to add to this grand lobby. In addition, the bowling alley made a return to the lower level. Many of the hotel’s original features still remain today, including a grand piano, once played by big bands such as Guy Lombardo and Stan Kenton.


Renwick

This Chicago commercial style building was built by famed Davenport industrialist William Renwick in 1897 and underwent a $6 million renovation in 2012.

The Renwick also boasts an incredible rooftop deck and party room, modern fitness center, a commercial venue space and state-of-the-art recording studio.
The Renwick features all-inclusive rent and a convenient downtown location, mere blocks from riverfront attractions.

Everything needed for a fun and luxurious stay awaits you at The Current. Housed in the last building completed by iconic American architect Daniel Burnham, The Current honors its local roots while reinterpreting what comfort means for the modern traveler. Step into the lobby and immediately become immersed in the dazzling art that adorns the walls.  The Current sources pieces from many of the Midwest’s premier and emerging artists.

City Square

The careful renovation of what is called LeClair’s First Addition rescued two historically significant buildings from its long-term decline and vacancy.  Restoration St. Louis completed a $46 million renovation of the M.L. Parker, Putnam and Center buildings, now known as City Square, located on the south half of the block between Brady and Main on 2nd Street.

The ground floor of City Square houses Wells Fargo Bank while Contax, HUB International Iowa, Logiflow Services, and Cottingham & Butler occupy the Class A offices above. The building is finished with 20 luxury apartments on the top two floors that features all-inclusive rent, granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliances, and washer/dryers in every unit. The Center building that connects City Square and The Current is home to Subway and Junior Achievement. During construction, special care was taken to completely restore the masonry on all three buildings, maintain the original elevators, recreate the rooftop restaurant and patio atop The Current ~ Iowa, as well as restore the original staircase including original, wrought iron railings and marble floors.
