The apartments are located to the West of Spring Ave. and North of Delor Street and borders St. Mary’s High School new ballpark development as well as Beckerley Park (Spring and Itaska).

According to their presentation, the North Tower Group is in the process of securing financing for the apartments redevelopment and are looking towards starting construction in the beginning of August 2009. The design calls for improving the curb appeal, restricting entrances and exits, gating the property, installing security cameras, and investing over $40,000.00 per unit to update them. They expect rent will be around $500.00 for a 2 bedroom and $400.00 for a 1 bedroom apartment.

Additionally, they will be donating what is currently labled as “Beckerley Park” at the corner of Spring and Itaska (although owned privatly by the North Tower Group) to St. Mary’s High School which they plan to use for tennis courts as a part of their new sports complex.

15th Ward Alderwoman Jennifer Florida

“Two members of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen plan Friday to introduce a bill that would create a registry of all rental properties in the city, according to the Board agenda.

Landlords would be required to register their buildings with the city once a year, and supply names and contact information for both the owner and, if the owner does not live in the area, a local agent living in the city, St. Louis County, St. Charles or Jefferson Counties. Violations would carry a fine of $150 to $500.

The purpose, according to the bill (available here), is to help city agencies track down property owners for maintenance, safety and other issues at their buildings. There are nearly 70,000 rental units in St. Louis, according to a 2007 Census estimate, about half of all properties in the city.

Similar measures exist in other places, including Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, NC, and the state of Arizona. It comes a week after another bill introduced at the Board of Aldermen to create a registry of vacant buildings in the city.”
