Mapping Midtown Development

With news of Pace Properties' Midtown Station, the vortex of Cortex and word that some Swedish retail thing is set to put a stake in the ground, Midtown St. Louis is quickly changing from a confusing mix of abandoned industrial sites, parking lots and vacant land into a confusing mix of retail, residential and office proposals. There's nothing definitively right or wrong about any of the proposals, but taking a more broad view of the moving pieces should better inform the conversation. Often, a visual representation is needed. Hopefully the two graphics here provide added context for discussion.
