It's amazing what a rear-facing parking lot can do for these one-story commercial buildings. Ideally, of course, this would be a two-story mixed use building, but if we're going to continue to build these commercial-only buildings, let's screen the parking like this example.
(By the way, yes I already posted on this; I found the pic online and thought it worth reiterating. And, you're right, there is a side lot, which isn't ideal. Still, admit that you're surprised this building wasn't placed thirty feet back with front parking.)
I'm shocked at how much stuff was crammed into one small lot, how quickly it was built and how harmless it is. High profile spot that went on the down-low.
ReplyDeleteThat's actually an improvement for that site!
ReplyDeleteI agree - I'm actually very pleased with the way this turned out. Hopefully it will serve as a model for other new retail developments, not just in STL Hills, but elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteHow about a redevelopment of "Barney's Plaza?"
