METRO AREA COUNTIES
Downtown St. Louis continued its dra-
matic redevelopment in 2009. Since 1999,
overall investment downtown is estimated
to be over $4.4 billion with another $800
million in development for 2009-2010.1
Downtown now has over 7,500 residential
units with over 270 units under construction
and another 180 in development as of June
2009. This residential redevelopment has
increased the downtown population from
8,300 in 2000 to 12,000 in 2009.2
The downtown residential growth has
come at the same time as the popula-
tion of the City of St. Louis has started
to increase after years of decline. The
U.S. Census Bureau has again accepted a
challenge to their population estimate. The
2008 population of the City of St. Louis is
356,730, up from the original estimate of
354,361.3
Downtown passed a milestone in 2009
with the opening of the new 27,000-square
-foot Schnucks’ Culinaria grocery store next
to the restored Old Post Office. Another
notable development is the Roberts Tower,
the first new residential tower built in down-
town since the Mansion House in the 1960s.
This $70 million, 25-story LEED-certified
tower will contain 55 condos.4
