Need to Know, Part 6

Posted online
SBJ Editor Eric Olson, left, and Heer’s owner Kevin McGowan have a laugh during their 12 People You Need to Know conversation June 10 at Clarion Hotel’s Newsroom Café.

McGowan, principal of St. Louis-based historic renovation firm Blue Urban LLC, said complications stemming from a review of Park Central Square’s historical significance have delayed the start of renovations on the downtown landmark at least 60 days. He had previously said they would begin June 1.

McGowan plans to renovate the downtown landmark as 38 upscale condos above a Mike Shannon’s Steaks and Seafood Restaurant. The project’s price tag is $26 million to $30 million.

The next 12 People You Need to Know event, set for July 15, will feature Mark Weisz, owner/broker of Branson-based Weisz Commercial Realty Inc. Visit sbj.net for more information.
