The Link in the Loop at the northwest corner of Delmar and Skinker is a go.
The developer Pace Properties presented its latest design to the Preservation Review Board in February. Pace was issued a building permit on March 8th.
The $26M project received a $4.4M TIF.
The gas station and the one story building facing Skinker previously owned by Washington University have been demolished.
The new building will mostly be 3 stories with two retail spaces on the ground floor fronting Delmar and two floors of offices, 25,000 square feet each, above. Its height will slightly surpass the buildings to the east and west. Parking for the retail tenants is under and behind the building.
A $850,000 building permit has been issued to build a parking lot on Washington University’s North Campus for the office tenant.
A CVS will occupy the corner commercial space.
It includes a drive-thru accessed from Skinker.
There is one fewer curb cut down from 6 and none on Delmar.
The addition of a pharmacy addresses an issue cited in the Skinker DeBaliviere Neighborhood Plan.
It also enhances walkability and helps build a continuum of humanscaled development, hopefully bridging the gap at Skinker. First made public in the fall of 2016, Pace has worked with the neighborhood to create a site plan and design to the benefit of both the developer and the community.
