While most vacant properties in St. Louis are residential lots, large vacant buildings remain a barrier to wider neighborhood regeneration. Former schools, warehouses, office buildings, and apartment complexes present different challenges than residential properties, and the cost of rehab often prohibits private developers from taking on the risk. Cities must work creatively to address these properties. In this mobile workshop, attendees will visit two formerly vacant large properties that are currently being rehabbed by the City of St. Louis in partnership with community organizations, nonprofits, and forward-thinking developers. Participants will visit Baden School, which is under construction as new senior residential units, and the former Killark Electrical building, which is being transformed into an economic development incubator and municipal service center. Participants will hear about the challenges and opportunities presented by these major projects.
