DRC Meetings
2026
On Thursday, July 24, 2026, the West End & Visitation Park Development Review Committee (DRC) held a special public meeting to review a development application submitted by Washington University in St. Louis / Quadrangle Management Company.
The proposed project includes the demolition of two commercial buildings located at 622 N. Skinker Boulevard and 640 Rosedale Avenue. According to the application, the buildings are being removed due to tornado damage at one site and deteriorated building conditions at the other, with plans to improve neighborhood safety, visibility, and prepare the properties for future redevelopment.
