The iconic Katz Drug Store at Westport Road and Main Street would be saved as the centerpiece of a 192-unit apartment project proposed by a St. Louis firm, the latest in a wave of streetcar-related development announcements.
Lux Living wants to build the six-story apartment project on the surface parking lot behind the historic building and reuse the former drugstore as an amenity center for the residents, including adding a rooftop pool.
