     Future Plans
    In 2005, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen approved plans for the redevelopment of the 67-acre Chouteau’s Landing Redevelopment Area. Many of the 63 buildings on the 20 blocks of the property are vacant and the buildings are festooned with graffiti.

    But beginning with the $40 million redevelopment of the 700, 800 and 900 blocks of South Fourth Street and a vacant five-story building at 217 Cedar St. called Powell Square, Chivvis Development plans to convert the area into a stylish commercial, retail, arts and residential district.
