Opus Development Company plans to construct a 76,750-square-foot warehouse, retail showroom, and offices for a new home for Crescent Plumbing Supply Company at Olive and Kingsland in University City.
The University City Plan Commission considered the proposal at their March 23rd meeting.
The plan is to move in in mid-2023.
The properties at 6610 Olive, once home to Shur Sav, 6662 Olive, and 950 Kingsland are owned by Washington University in St. Louis. Crescent Plumbing Supply Company is currently located at 640 Rosedale.
It has been a sticky wicket for development around the Delmar Metrolink Station, where almost all of the property around it is owned by WUSTL. Crescent also owns 521 Rosedale across the street. Crescent has been at this location since 1955.
Also noteworthy is that Opus is developing the new facility for Crescent as they have recently been shown the door to their proposals for apartment buildings in the Delmar Loop, first at Delmar and Leland and then at Delmar and Skinker.
The Skinker DeBaliviere Neighborhood Plan and the Delmar and Forest Park Station TOD Plan envisioned dense mixed-use walkable development around the Delmar Metrolink Station including making the shuttered Wabash Station the entrance to the Metrolink station.
It appears the pieces are falling into place for long-anticipated development there.
