When news came of Left Bank Booksreturn to Downtown St. Louis with a new satellite location – for once, it really felt like something about which to cheer. The beloved Left Bank Books’ is not only a home-grown, favorite City business and a much needed lifestyle offering for Downtown, but also Left Bank’s expansion brings a renewed surge of confidence in Downtown’s renaissance. Just maybe, despite the avalanche of negative economic news, Downtown St. Louis will succeed in developing a destination shopping district.

So, this month, we at Chivvis would like to know are there any other businesses – local or national – that you think will provide the same excitement and confidence in Downtown St. Louis?

Please let us know in the comments what businesses you would like to see Downtown.

Black Label: “A Premium Experience” Gallery Lounge Opening February 2009 on Chouteau’s Landing

Black Label opens in Chouteau’s Landing in February 2009 at 758 S. Fourth Street, the former residence of Bushwoods. Black Label brings a fresh resurgence to the project and intends to spearhead a number of events and activities in the Chouteau’s Landing district.

Black Label is a fresh and vibrant concept that aspires to ignite the Chouteau’s Landing district and remain a mainstay in this up-and-coming St. Louis district dedicated to art, fashion and entertainment.

Black Label merges the gallery and lounge concepts into one stylish venue that will bring a “Premium Experience” to Downtown St. Louis.

Black Label’s gallery element will flaunt the unique talent of local artists as well as invited, national talent. Artwork will be displayed around the lounge for viewing and for purchase. Rotating artwork monthly, Black Label will keep customers eager to see what’s new as well as host special events to showcase different types of artists, from body painting and sketches to the sounds of local musicians.

Black Label will also serve as a popular lounge for networking and socializing among business professionals, art followers and party-goers. With a convenient location three blocks from Busch Stadium, Cardinals’ fans will be able to enjoy pre-game and post-game attractions, as well as a free shuttle to and from the games. With a premium drink selection and outstanding customer service, Black Label will be a destination known for its unique ability to provide a distinct experience to all visitors.

Black Label is the “Premium Experience.”

Chouteau’s Landing is an unusual development in St. Louis in that its scope spans a staggering 58 acres with a solitary developer at the helm. Ambitious is a word often used to describe the project. It is a project met with much skepticism about progress and much enthusiasm about its visionary masterplan.

For you, what will be the most encouraging sign of progress for Chouteau’s Lading?

- Façade Renovation of Powell Square (that will house the art center)
- More tenants on South Fourth Street
- Other

November 4 was a demonstration of the power of public opinion. Now, let your opinion help shape St. Louis.

The Chivvis Development team is developing a sustainable business plan to ensure the longevity of the future Chouteau’s Landing Art Center (CLAC).  Part of this effort is a number of interviews with local artists and arts organizations.  This research will help us identify missing niches in the St. Louis art market and ways CLAC can improve St. Louis’  art offerings.  However, it’s no good to build an art center if no one attends, and it can’t sustain itself.  So, please leave your comments on what you hope CLAC will fulfill in expanding the St. Louis art community from the types of workshop studios and classes offered to the art forms you would like to see represented in CLAC.

Truly, your opinion counts. All information collected will be used to earn support and funding for CLAC.  So what you contribute will influence the final incarnation of this endeavor. Learn more about CLAC at www.clacstl.com.  Or Email Stacey if you would like to talk directly with a member of our Research Feasibility team.

Thank you  for helping us redefine the City and region of St. Louis.
