St. Louis City Approves Jefferson Arms Redevelopment
The historic building has become an eyesore after sitting vacant since 2006.
January 16, 2021
The old Jefferson Arms hotel in downtown St. Louis is getting an upgrade.
The city has approved a plan to redevelop the building with a catch: Two years' worth of taxes on the building must be paid before the deal becomes official and work can begin. The historic building has become an eyesore after sitting vacant since 2006. It opened in 1904 as a 13-story hotel then it was converted into apartments in the 1970s. A Dallas-based developer aims to turn it into a hotel once again with apartments and business space.
