Residents of Lafayette Square got a first look tonight at plans for a new development on the site of the old Praxair chemical plant.
Located on the corner of Missouri and Chouteau Avenues in south St. Louis, the vacant three-block area was home to Praxair, which was leveled by explosions and fire in 2005.
The exact specifications have yet to be worked out, but developers Jeff Winzerling and Pete Rothschild have come up with a $41 million plan that would incorporate condos, town homes, parking lots, a community park and retail and office space into the now vacant area.
