This five-story, wood-frame luxury residential complex brings 255 one and two-bedroom apartments to the Maryland Heights area and is the first residential community to be built at Westport Plaza.
Completed under budget and ahead of schedule in December 2024, this $64-million project was delivered in phases, which saw three towers built in staggered sequences. This strategy required precise planning to optimize inspections, trade stacking and workforce scheduling. Aggressive look-ahead planning and extensive offsite prefabrication minimized site congestion and accelerated vertical construction while cutting time and cost. Prefab elements included under-slab plumbing assemblies and tub/shower units; fully built and pre-wired electrical panels; and panelized wood framing components.
