Brinkmann Tops Out Downtown Multifamily Development

By KERRY SMITH, EDITOR, ST. LOUIS CONSTRUCTION NEWS AND REVIEW MAGAZINE

Brinkmann Constructors is celebrating a milestone in its construction of a 152,000-square-foot multifamily development just a block and a half west of Busch Stadium.

Just two weeks ago, crews placed the final beam atop the structure, which represents new construction in the midst of the historic Cupples Station Historic District. The project, located at 11th and Spruce Streets downtown, was the site of a century-old warehouse that the city condemned and razed in 2013.

Now, 10 years later, the Brinkmann project is on schedule and headed toward completion in early 2024.

San Francisco-based Balboa Real Estate Partners is the project’s developer. The infill construction will match the red brick exterior aesthetic of its historic surroundings.

The yet-to-be-named multifamily community will include 148 residential units and 3,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

Brinkmann’s construction of the U-shaped building touts a second-floor courtyard, plus an array of upscale amenities such as a fitness center, club room, courtyard, pet spa, dog run, rentable work-from-home space and onsite storage.

Tenants will benefit from a long-term leasing agreement for parking spaces in the city-owned parking garage next door at Cupples Station.

Brinkmann and fellow project team members are aiming for project completion in February.

Chesterfield-based general contractor Brinkmann Constructors and Chicago-based Humphreys & Partners Architects have completed a 245-unit multifamily community in St. Charles.

Real estate and development firm CRG is the owner of the new community, known as Chapter at The Streets, located within the mixed-use Streets of St. Charles district just off Interstate 70.

“Chapter at The Streets brings a new, modern living option to historic St. Charles, allowing residents to take advantage of the amenity-rich experience at the property while also enjoying the multitude of business and recreational offerings available in this location,” said JJ Smith, CRG’s executive vice president, partner and residential group leader. “Our community is designed to complement the vibrant energy of The Streets of St. Charles, providing residents with a highly walkable lifestyle.”

Each apartment features 9-foot ceilings, wood-style flooring, eat-in kitchens with islands, quartz countertops, thoughtful work-from-home space and a swimming pool that overlooks the Missouri River.

Residents of Chapter at The Streets also enjoy direct access to the 240-mile Katy Trail, the country’s longest rails-to-trails project.
