EAST ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com), February 23, 2007 - Clayco/Legacy LLC Joint Venture has formalized an agreement with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to promote a higher safety standard during construction of the new Casino Queen gaming facility in East St. Louis. Supporting partners in the agreement include the Southern Illinois Building and Construction Trades Council, Carpenters' District Council of Greater St. Louis and the Southern Illinois Builders Association. Clayco and Legacy began construction on the new 238,000-square-foot Casino Queen facility last spring. When completed in July 2007, the two-level, tilt-up concrete facility will feature 22-foot-high ceilings and a new 38,000-square-foot gaming floor - 10,000 square feet larger than the current gambling area. Other amenities will include a buffet restaurant, casual café, steakhouse, VIP lounge, coffee bar, deli and stage bar. Kuhlman Design Group is the architect for the project. "This signing marks the first job-specific partnership with OSHA in the Metro East," said Steve Richardson, Clayco's safety director. 'Our employees and those of our subcontractors and vendors are our greatest resource. This partnership provides a framework and commitment for us to work with OSHA, our subcontractors and supporting partners to develop a state-of-the-art safety culture and demonstrate our dedication to protecting our workers." Todd Weaver, president of Legacy, added, "The partnership also will create an environment for a number of disadvantaged and minority contractors to partner with OSHA and contractors, like Clayco and Legacy, who are interested in sharing our knowledge, experience and resources to improve construction safety performance in our hometown and across the United States. This partnership gives us the appropriate infrastructure to promote 'best practices' on all area job sites." "Safety is always our first priority on a Clayco project, and it is our goal to set an example for the entire industry," said Bob Clark, chairman and chief executive officer of Clayco. "This partnership with Legacy and OSHA is just another step toward achieving that goal. We want our workers, subcontractors, partners and their families to know that no job is more important than their safety."
ST. LOUIS, (SLFP.com), February 23, 2007 - Gilded Age and Koman Properties recently announced plans for an $80 million mixed use development near Lafayette Square to be called Georgian Square. The project will be jointly developed by Gilded Age and Koman Properties and will be the first large scale mixed use retail development in or near Lafayette Square in the last 100 years. Trace Shaughnessy, a principal with Gilded Age, indicated that the development will be "a signature type development that will serve as a catalyst for further residential development, will serve the needs of the residents of Lafayette Square and surrounding areas, and will be a destination for both those who live in St. Louis as well as visitors to the St. Louis area." The Georgian Square, which is in the early stages of planning and approval, will be located on a 12 acre site on Lafayette Avenue south of downtown St. Louis. The site is immediately south of the former City Hospital, which was recently converted to 104 residential condominium units (known as the Georgian Condominiums) by Gilded Age and features the Georgian Revival style of architecture that will be carried over to the new development. The development will feature four commercial office buildings with residential units above and a high end lifestyle retail complex with close to 90,000 square feet of retail space featuring national retailers, restaurants and a coffee purveyor. City Market, a new concept specialty grocery store, will make its St. Louis debut as part of the development. Chris Goodson, a principal of Gilded Age, emphasized that "this development fills the void for services necessary to sustain revitalization of the residential housing market in the City of St. Louis." In an announcement, Jim Koman, President of Koman Properties, said "The retail and shopping venues at Georgian Square will be geared to the everyday needs and demands of the increasingly affluent residents of the Lafayette Square and Soulard neighborhoods who have discerning tastes." "Upscale, urban redevelopment projects of this caliber are taking shape in communities across the country, but nothing like it exists in the City of St. Louis. We're pleased to be partnering with Gilded Age to bring to life what will be a landmark project for the City." Goodson added that this development "builds upon public-private partnerships in place to promote the growth and redevelopment in the City of St. Louis."
