Just weeks after breaking ground, Washington University's $80 million student apartment and retail project in University City and the city of St. Louis is moving ahead. 

Crews have begun demolishing buildings in the Delmar Loop. The building which housed Hiro Sushi has been knocked down.  

The 4.4-acre residential and retail development project will incorporate a number of “green” features. Excavation for the underground garage will follow demolition work, and construction of the buildings in Phase 1 of the project is expected to begin in the spring. Phase 1 plans call for students and businesses to move in by August 2014.
