For over a decade, the prominent intersection of Kingshighway and Lindell in St. Louis has awaited the right vision. Developed by Albion Residential in collaboration with Koplar Properties, Clayco, and LJC, Albion West End is a 30-story residential tower that will serve as a striking gateway to the Central West End.
Balancing design ambition with financial feasibility, LJC and Clayco overcame project challenges through an intensive collaboration, refining planning, parking, and construction efficiencies. The result is a sophisticated, high-rise residential experience that seamlessly integrates with the historic district’s character while establishing its own modern identity.
Albion West End will offer 305 luxury residences—studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units—designed for professionals, particularly those from the nearby medical campus. Residents will enjoy an expansive outdoor amenity deck with a pool, a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views, and hospitality-inspired communal spaces, including retail offerings.
With a curved glass façade that echoes the stepping forms of nearby high-rises, the tower introduces a dynamic, contemporary rhythm that draws the eye upward. As Albion Residential’s first project in St. Louis, this development signifies their commitment to creating vibrant urban communities with exceptional design and service. Set to break ground in the fall of 2025, Albion West End will bring this long-awaited vision to life, redefining a key corner of the city.
