Wash U's Delmar Loop Project: Excavation Begins

Washington University's $80 million student apartment and retail project in University City and the city of St. Louis is moving ahead.

Buildings in the Delmar Loop have been knocked down and crews are excavating the area. The new buildings will feature underground parking.

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.
