5242 Enright Blvd 5242 Enright Ave

The Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority of the City of St. Louis, Missouri (LCRA) is issuing
a public Request for Proposals (RFP) for the redevelopment of the city-owned property at 718-720
Union Boulevard and 5244-5266 Enright Avenue (the “Property”). The property was originally
constructed in the 1920s to serve the members of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association, with various
additions constructed through the 1970s. The Property was most recently operated by the
Demetrious Johnson Charitable Foundation as the West End Recreation Center.
The intention of this RFP is to solicit proposals from developers (“Respondents”) that will contract
to purchase or lease the Property and complete the redevelopment (the “Redevelopment”) of the
Property according to terms, provisions, and conditions determined by the St. Louis Development
Corporation (SLDC) staff. Other terms and conditions may be developed in response to specific
Proposals and incorporated into agreements that may be necessary to implement incentives for the
Redevelopment.
SLDC and LCRA are working proactively to create a clear path towards redevelopment of the
property by assisting the City to solicit proposals that will be presented to the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment and the Board of Aldermen for further consideration. LCRA will continue to engage
with neighborhood stakeholders—including the Comptroller, the 10th Ward Alderperson and SLDC
Neighborhood Manager—to identify potential development obstacles and opportunities, and
determine appropriate levels of development incentives.
