Team Rosemann Kansas City, in cooperation with AIA Kansas City’s Women in Design Committee, sponsored a “Day of Shadowing” program specific for local female high school students to gain a realistic perspective of what it is like to work at an architectural and structural engineering firm and to better understand the culture and community of our design studio. As students moved through the office, staff explained roles and responsibilities and answered questions.

We also took them on a walking tour of Downtown Kansas City and showcased one of our historical renovation projects, Argyle Lofts.  

Rosemann’s Project Manager Erin Morris commented, “It was a wonderful day connecting with the students and providing inspiration for their career goals. The students enjoyed the experience and said that they look forward to attending next year’s program.”

East St. Louis, IL: The official groundbreaking was commemorated today at The New Broadview, an affordable senior and veterans apartment community at 415 E. Broadway in Downtown East St. Louis. Local community leaders, public officials, and neighbors, as well as members of Team Rosemann and the ownership and development teams attended the celebration.

The former historic 7-story Broadview Hotel was completed nearly 100 years ago in 1927 and stood tall as the city’s largest and finest first hotel operating in East St. Louis. It doubled as a regional and statewide convention and meeting venue. The hotel operated in East St. Louis until the mid-1980s when Southern Illinois University took over the property and offered community and educational based programs. In 2006, the building was turned over to the City of East St. Louis, where it remained vacant until now. In December 2013, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, allowing an opportunity for the developers to utilize Historic Tax Credits.

In 2020, transformation efforts were in full swing with the new owner, Broadview Development, LLC, and co-developers, Community Life Line, Efficacy Consulting & Development and Tier I Development Group, all sharing a vision for senior and veterans living and a place for small business and public spaces that would be unique to the local East St. Louis community. The project was supported by tax credits from the Illinois Housing Development Authority (HDA).

Rosemann’s design includes improvements to the historic building’s fabric in its public spaces for lobbies and activity areas and transforms 127,606 total gross square feet and 7 total stories into 110 apartment units in a mix of 1- and 2-bedroom garden units and town homes, including accessible, adaptable, and visual and hearing-impaired units. The project also accommodates a home to a Transit Oriented District Senior Services Center providing community-based supports and services. It provides a connection to resources for older adults including health and wellness programs, nutritional support, educational programs, and computer and information technology. The property sits approximately a block away from the Metrolink transportation center and ties downtown East St. Louis to other employment centers on both sides of the river. 

“We are pleased to play a vital role in expanding the supply of quality, affordable senior and veterans housing to serve even more of our neighbors in this great city. The New Broadview is a unique example of how adaptive re‐use and historic renovation combine to create attractive apartments, all while preventing the loss of a significant historic landmark,” said Rosemann’s Senior Project Manager Nancy Rodney.

Congratulations to the entire project team for their collaborative effort to create affordable housing in the East St. Louis area including owner, Broadview Development, LLC; co-developers Community Life Line, Efficacy Consulting & Development and Tier I Development Group; general contractor, Altman Charter Company; and engineering consultant, Horner & Shifrin, Inc.

Ellisville, MO: MILA is a perfect display of Rosemann’s high-end housing and mixed-use design now under construction on a 7-acre site at 15970 Manchester Road in the suburbs of St. Louis County.

This distinct four-story wood frame over concrete podium apartment building presents 227 units with eight unique floor plans and private balconies or decks. MILA is about choices with studio, and one- to three-bedroom options spanning from a 520 SF to 1,385 square feet.

The project is a five over one podium construction allowing for a higher density building than typical wood framed construction. The large building is tucked into a smaller site, fully utilizing the site’s tight constraints. The top three levels of the structure serve as housing units, while the first level hosts 359 covered vehicle parking spaces and lobby area. The development is a planned district, modifying current zoning code to provide a mixed-use site plan. The current well defined, commercial zone adjacent to Manchester Road is maintained, while providing the new 4-story multifamily development as a buffer between existing commercial and residential zones.

“Our team is excited to craft a unique experience of tastefully designed buildings at MILA. We are pleased to have joined a forward-thinking client like Midas Capital in our endeavor to deliver another high-quality community with exceptional livability in St. Louis County,” said Rosemann’s Project Manager Taylor Williamson.

Rosemann is designing the front elevation of the building facing Manchester Road to reflect the client’s desire for a modern aesthetic with clean lines and clearly defined volumes. Stone, EIFS, and cement fiber panels are incorporated to achieve the desired style. Cost savings of this project are made by removing the typical pedestal pavers and using a direct applied paver system.

Luxury residences will showcase beautiful granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry and fully equipped kitchens. Common spaces provide a leasing office, business center, and communal gathering areas. The large courtyard at the podium level includes outdoor lounge areas, fireplaces, grilles, swimming pool, and AstroTurf lawns with hammocks and cabanas, as well as a large wall on which to project movies. Other attractive amenities include:

• Concierge service
• Bicycle storage and repair station
• Dog park and dog wash
• Quick access to walking trails leading to nearby Bluebird Park

Local offerings such as ample shopping, schools, and restaurants are just moments away. A Culver’s restaurant is now open along Manchester Road occupying about an acre of the total 7-acres. 

“Richly designed, MILA’s vibrant interior is targeted to an engaged lifestyle where residents can enjoy premium services such as having a morning workout in the fitness center, followed by spending the day working remotely in the beautiful clubhouse and ending the evening socializing in the courtyard or relaxing in the resort style swimming pool,” said Rosemann’s Studio Director Jarrett Cooper.

Together with owner, Midas Capital; structural engineer, Rosemann & Associates; general contractor, Midas Construction; interior designer, Midas Interiors; MEP, Engenuity; and civil, Cochran Engineering, MILA is slated for completion in 2023.

St. Peters, MO: Construction is progressing nicely at The Station at St. Peters Luxury Living as the initial phase of the attractive new community is marked to open in the first quarter of 2023. Situated near the intersection of Mexico Road and Mid-Rivers Mall Drive with close access to Highway 70, The Station brings 60 two-bedroom units and 120 one-bedroom units across five, three-story buildings. Unit square footage ranges from approximately 751 SF to 1,109 SF. A one-story 3,637-SF clubhouse will deliver unbeatable conveniences.

Chesterfield, Missouri-based commercial real estate development company, Mia Rose Holdings, selected Rosemann & Associates architectural firm to display a modern design for residents desiring to live, work, and socialize near home. The site was chosen to help fulfill the increased demand for rental housing options in St. Charles County and because of a close-by anchor retail development built by Mia Rose Holdings’ principal Jim Cook, a co-owner of Sugarfire Smokehouse restaurants and an Imo’s franchisee. The Station will be the fourth apartment complex in St. Charles County for Mia Rose Holdings.

“With inviting living spaces on the way, The Station at St. Peters Luxury Living exemplifies our commitment to providing a new level of multifamily housing accented by meticulous craftsmanship and a distinguished design. The Station is in direct response for needed additional apartment housing as the landscape for multifamily living continues to grow in the area,” said Rosemann’s Project Manager Ryan Montana.

Along with developer Mia Rose Holdings, LLC., Rosemann is pleased to collaborate on this project with general contractor, Midas Construction; MEP, Engenuity; civil engineer, Premier Design Group; and structural engineer, Rosemann & Associates. The property is managed by 2B Residential.
