Subtext in partnership with Larson Capital Management acquired 1.98 acres at 6650 Delmar Blvd. in University City, Missouri, for the construction of LOCAL on Delmar.
The five-story residential community is located in University City’s Delmar Loop entertainment district just north of Washington University in St. Louis. Construction will begin in September 2024 with completion expected in the summer of 2026. LOCAL on Delmar is Subtext’s second project in the area, after delivering VERVE St. Louis near Saint Louis University in 2021. Headquartered in St. Louis, Subtext has a strong understanding of the local market.
The 259-unit, 398,225-square-foot apartment community will offer a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, including townhomes. The building will also host 399 parking spaces in a secure, attached five-story garage, and over 7,000 square feet of vibrant street level retail with an outdoor dining patio, adding to the energy of the Delmar Loop. Featuring approximately 12,000 square feet of shared amenity spaces, LOCAL on Delmar is designed to provide residents with an elevated living experience that will support their holistic health, wellness, work, and social needs.
Amenity highlights include a work from home hub with plentiful private and collaborative spaces; a wellness suite with sauna and meditation room; a gym with cardio, weights, and outdoor fitness; a yoga and open fitness studio; a pool terrace with grilling, cabanas, and fire pits; and a club room with media wall, game room, vinyl listening station, and entertaining kitchen.
All of these spaces are designed to engage residents through a hospitality focus and a deep connection to local culture. Iconic architectural elements and salvaged items will bring in the rich spirit of the neighborhood. Located at the corner of Delmar Blvd. and Leland Ave. in the Loop, LOCAL on Delmar offers residents an unbeatable lifestyle and location just a 12-minute walk away from Washington University and within a short drive to Downtown Clayton, Forest Park, and Central West End St. Louis.
