What shapes a project in St. Louis
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
A very old housing stock
ACS 2020-2024 estimates show about 58 percent of St. Louis housing units were built before 1940 and about 76 percent before 1960. Only about 8 percent were built in 2000 or later, so most projects work inside older structures.
Flats and multi-unit buildings
About 43 percent of the city's housing units are detached single-family homes. About 26 percent are in buildings with two to four units and about 26 percent in buildings with five or more, so shared walls, stacks and neighbors shape many jobs.
Eighteen local historic districts
St. Louis has 18 local historic districts, including Lafayette Square, Soulard, Shaw and Benton Park. In most cases, exterior changes to buildings in these districts must be reviewed against each district's standards by the Cultural Resources Office.
