What’s The Buzz About?
The Artery
Perhaps you recognize the Powell Square Building (pictured left) from trips to Busch Stadium or travels across the Poplar Street Bridge. This is the future home of The Artery.
Part of the Chouteau’s Landing district-wide redevelopment by Chivvis Development, The Artery will be a progressive arts center designed to enrich lives through the collaborative interplay of artists and patrons in a space that encourages the free exploration of creativity and ideas.
The consulting team Art Space Creative helped realize a similar vision in a similar warehouse-style building (pictured left) at the River East Art Center in Chicago.
Led by Mikki Markowicz, Art Space Creative’s team will complete site-use plans for The Artery and the surrounding Chouteau’s Landing district as well as submit a market research and feasibility plan, a business model, team-building plan and budget forecast for The Artery. These results will be available at ChouteausLanding.com in early 2008.
Art Space Creative is an organization that works with developers and community leaders to enhance reuse projects. By melding an array of business services with arts and entertainment venues, Art Space Creative helps property owners create a destination.
Bushwoods
756 Historic Fourth Street (red brick building in rendering below), which is located directly behind Broadway Oyster Bar, will house Bushwoods Bar and Grill on the first floor. The second floor of the building will become Chivvis Development’s new office and showroom for the Chouteau’s Landing and The Artery projects. This will kickoff the renovations along a three-block stretch of Historic Fourth Street. These commercial spaces will be designed to stir creativity, incite productivity and spark ingenuity. Imagine your business as part of this edgy new hotspot and contact Andy for leasing opportunities available.
