Ground Broken for New Urban League of Metropolitan Saint Louis Senior Apartments, Community Center

The Urban League of Metropolitan Saint Louis, Missouri broke ground on the organization’s new Senior Apartments and Community Center in North St. Louis County. The 40,000-square-foot facility will be built in the City of Dellwood. KAI is providing Design-Build services on the project.

The Urban League of Metropolitan Saint Louis’ mission is to empower African Americans and others throughout the region in securing economic self-reliance, social equality and civil rights. The organization is committed to investing in the continued redevelopment of the West Florissant Corridor through Dellwood and Ferguson. This new development will give seniors in Dellwood not only the opportunity to live in a brand-new building, but to also have easy access to many services and programs offered by the organization, including the popular Senior Empowerment Series.

The $10-million, three-story building will include 44 resident units (40 one-bedroom units and four two-bedroom units), plus a community room on the main level for 12-15 people and a resident lounge with kitchenette and restrooms. The main level will also include a private manager’s office, reception area, workroom and shared access to the community room. Construction on the building is expected to be completed in December 2022.
