Description: This five-story multiuse building will feature 95 apartments and 6,350 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Near the corner of Battlefield Road and Fremont Avenue, the 2.3-acre parcel that previously was the site of Heritage Cafeteria was acquired in March 2021 by Coryell Collaborative Group for redevelopment. Amenities will include a pool, fitness center and rooftop lounge, common spaces for residents and covered parking. Floor plans will range from studios to three-bedroom units. The design features wood and stone elements that might be familiar to those who frequented the cafeteria, the architects note.
A safe room and classroom addition at Willard Central Elementary School will be used by the music, arts and athletic programs for a district that had 4,536 students last year, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education figures, but school officials say enrollment is projected to grow.
