44 West Luxury Living receives zoning approval

44 West Luxury Living, a new upscale, 204-unit multifamily development in Valley Park, Mo. has received zoning approval.

Developed by St. Louis-based Mia Rose Holdings and entrepreneur, Jim Cook, the 10.27-acre site plans include an amenity-rich apartment community with a two-acre parcel visioned for future commercial and retail space.

Located on Meramec Station Road off Highway 44, the parcel was chosen for its central location to support the demand for quality housing fueled by strong job creation in the area. The development is walkable to other local amenities, including nearby restaurants and shops.

The 182,363-SF development includes 60 two-bedroom units and 144 one-bedroom units and will be spread across five, three-story buildings and a one-story clubhouse.

44 West Luxury Living will feature ample recreational and gathering areas, including a dog park, walking path on adjacent community greenspace, resort-style pool and sun deck, pickleball court, outdoor lounge with fireplace, community BBQ and picnic area, and bike racks.

The 3,800-SF clubhouse is designed to meet resident work-from-home and recreational demands - complete with a conference center, package concierge, specialty coffee bar, great room and a well-equipped fitness center. Residents will also enjoy the pet-friendly community policies and complimentary Wi-Fi.

“Mia Rose Holdings has a fantastic track record of creating beautiful, high-end projects such as The Junction in Wentzville and the Maryville Hockey Center in Chesterfield. We are thrilled they view Valley Park as we do—a city rich with history, but ready to invest in its future,” said Valley Park Mayor Chandra Webster.

Rosemann & Associates, P.C. has incorporated a beautiful palette of building materials that will give 44 West Luxury Living an attractive, high-end appearance. Features include cast stone architectural accents, architectural shingles, ornamental balcony railings, brick masonry veneer, decorative exterior lighting sconces and lush landscaping. Individual garages will be available for lease.

“44 West Luxury Living is thoughtfully designed with high-quality finishes and extensive amenities to satisfy the increasing desire to live, work and recreate close to home,” said Tom Kaiman, founding principal of Mia Rose Holdings, LLC.

Each unit will feature a granite kitchen peninsula and countertops, subway tile backsplash, high-end flooring, full-size washer and dryers, a private patio or balcony with storage, energy-efficient vinyl windows and patio doors, large bedroom and linen closets, stainless steel appliances, granite bathroom vanities and nine-foot ceilings throughout. The two-bedroom units average 1,020 SF and the one-bedroom units are approximately 780 SF.

“The City of Valley Park has been an absolute pleasure to work with during the conceptual planning and zoning process. Without their engagement on how to approach this project vision in a “win-win” approach, this development wouldn’t be coming to fruition. Hats off to Mayor Webster, all of the Aldermen, Dusty Hosna, Tim Englemeyer, all the planning staff, and planning commissioners for their efforts to bring this amazing project to the City of Valley Park,” Kaiman said.

Project partners include general contractor, Wright Construction; architect, Rosemann & Associates, P.C.; and engineer, Premier Design Group. 2B Residential has been named as the property manager.

Construction is set to break ground in October 2021 and is scheduled to be complete in fall 2022.
