The South Grand Community Improvement District this week released findings from a study exploring redevelopment opportunities for the neighborhood.

ST. LOUIS — South Grand Boulevard could be redeveloped into a community market with apartments, a new residential development and event space or even a hotel, according to proposals released last week as part of a study commissioned by a neighborhood group.

The South Grand Community Improvement District said the study, produced by the Urban Land Institute-St. Louis, was meant to fuel ideas as the district moves to pursue a developer who can take on redeveloping the neighborhood.

And it comes after a year of turnover, in which several well-known restaurants closed their doors.

“The development considerations are exciting, and while this will be a project that takes careful time and consideration to be done well, it is one that can have a very large impact on the South Grand neighborhood and broader St. Louis community for years to come,” said the improvement district's president, Natasha Bahrami.
