Redevelopment for the Trinity Lutheran site

September 21, 2005 |

The remaining half of the old Trinity Lutheran Hospital site is under contract for redevelopment. The northeren half of the property, including the old St. Mary’s Hospital building, has already been demolished for the new Federal Reserve Bank headquarters. The remainder, at the northwest corner of 31st and Main, is to be called Union Hill Village and feature a mix of housing, retail, and offices. The focal point would be a 20 or 24 story condo tower that could also house a hotel on the lower floors.

The hospital had been discussed as a possible site for the Stowers Institute’s second campus, but that plan was shelved thanks to State Senator Matt Bartle and fundamentalist attacks on medical research in Missouri. In the mean time, the real estate market on Main Street is starting to heat up as developers begin to notice opportunities along the central corridor between Downtown and the Plaza. Another recent development was the closure of Main Street Chevrolet, where the owners decided the land was becoming more valuable than the car dealership.

    Where do you get the info about Main Street Chevrolet? They closed it due to sluggish sales, nothing else. The owners of Main Street Chevrolet do not even own that land or the building, they only leased it.

    It is spelled “Lutheran”, not “Lutheren”.
