ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — University City could soon approve the first major construction project in the Delmar Loop since the Covid-19 pandemic.
St. Louis-based apartment developer Subtext plans a mixed-use development with 329 apartments and 8,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space in the Delmar Loop, and the city council could potentially grant final approval at a meeting Jan. 8, city documents show.
Subtext has four properties under contract for the project at 6630, 6640, 6650 and 6654 Delmar Blvd., according to filings. Of those sites, 6630 and 6650 are owned by Commerce Bank, while 6640 and 6654 are owned by Washington University, the filings say.
The 1.98-acre development site currently is occupied by two vacant buildings: One is a one-story former Commerce Bank location with some retail and restaurant space that was built in 1953, while the one owned by WashU is the former Craft Alliance building constructed in 1930.
