Project financing for the Alanson Building closed on July 31, 2006 and construction started the next week.

The Alanson is a historic three story building at 5888 Delmar at Hamilton (formerly Fred’s Liquor).

There are eight residential and four commercial units; totaling 15,000 sq. ft. Alanson Building LP is the developer, which is a partnership of National City Bank CDC, 7171 Delmar LLC (development arm of St. Louis Design Alliance) and Skinker DeBaliviere Community Housing Corporation. S.D.C.H.C. acquired the property October of 2004 and has been working with CPDC (Community Program Development Corporation) as project consultants to put together the financing package; consisting of tax exempt bonds, historic Federal and State tax credits and Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Jennifer Olmstead, SDCHC Board and Project Team member, said, “The Housing Corp brought the building, which was a problem property, to encourage the redevelopment of the 5900 & 5800 Blocks of Delmar.

A lot has changed on the 5800 Block and at the intersection of Hamilton and Delmar since we acquired the building.

I believe this is in part due to the Housing Corp taking the first step and saying they would do a rehab of the Alanson building” Total project cost is $3,227,000. Financing consists of tax credit equity from National City Bank CDC, construction and permanent loans from Enterprise Bank, Skinker DeBaliviere Community Housing Corporation, and from City of St. Louis Affordable Housing Commission. R. G. Ross Construction is the General Contractor and has been with the redevelopment team from the beginning.

They finished the two story building at the other end of block earlier this spring, belonging to John Mathews, at Laurel and Delmar. Jeff Mugg of 7171 Delmar LLC said, “Dave (Mastin) and I are very pleased to be a part of the development team.† We were excited to be able to bring the lender to the project and add what we could from our experience. “We are confident that the redevelopment of the Alanson will be of real benefit to the community and to those of us working to make the Loop East an exciting place to be.” 7171 Delmar LLC was the developer and is the owner of the building at 5860-72 Delmar. St Louis Design Alliance was the architect on John Mathews building at 5850 Delmar. Jeff and Dave are very much a part of the community with their architectural office in the renovated A&P grocery store, at 6014 Delmar and various other projects that they have on and to the north of Delmar. Charrette Community Management will be managing the residential units.
