29-Story Mass Timber High-Rise Coming to St. Louis, MO
"The 314", AHM's Downtown West Project Moves Closer to Construction
With AMH Group’s full design process starting in January, St. Louis, Missouri, is about to join the tall wood timber building phenomena, according to a feature by CityScene STL (3-20-25).
The large-scale development will see three old buildings redeveloped and three new buildings constructed. One of which is a 29-story mass timber high-rise. The plans were originally unveiled in 2022, with the city approving a 10-year, 90% tax abatement for the development.
The 29-story tower, which is now called “The 314,” has seen its design refreshed. The 287-unit, $145-million tower will be among the tallest mass timber buildings in the world. It will also include 15,000 square feet of retail space, a 7th floor restaurant, and a 373-space parking garage.
Milwaukee-based Korb Architects, who specializes in mass timber architecture, is the architect for this component of the project. The 314 will be the tallest building in Downtown West and likely the tallest building between Downtown and the Central West End.
AHM’s intent is to begin construction sometime this summer.
