The March 23rd University City Plan Commission meeting will consider a proposal by Opus Development Company to construct a 76,750-square-foot warehouse, retail showroom, and offices for Crescent Plumbing Supply Company at Olive and Kingsland. They plan to move in in mid-2023.
The properties at 6610 Olive, 6662 Olive, and 950 Kingsland are owned by Washington University in St. Louis.
The outdoor staging area will be surrounded by berms with a wood fence on top.
A mostly blank wall will face Olive, Kingsland, and Vernon. The building height is between 35 and 40 feet.
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.
Also interesting 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 CITY development around the Delmar station including making the Wabash station the entrance to the Metrolink Station.
It appears the pieces are falling into place for long-anticipated development there.
