There’s going to be a new kid on the block. Condo development 4101 Laclede is the first residential building built in the Central West End since 2009 that is not rental property. The excitement among interested buyers is evident, according to the Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty team in charge of selling each unit, broker Robin Halterman and her sister, Traci Stix.
The two have a special relationship to the area. Dielmann president Kerry Brooks notes the company has consistently ranked at the 
top in CWE sales and transactions, saying, “We are so honored to have Robin and Traci, the top-ranked agents in the CWE, as part of our family.” That no doubt helped when local developers Austin Barzantny and Michael Gingrich decided to partner with Dielmann on the project. “We are so proud to be working with them, and we’re proud to represent the building,” Halterman says. “Trivers Associates did such a nice job of creating a modern building that blends in with the neighborhood.”
The five-story structure will offer 54 units, four two-level townhomes and 50 one-level condominiums, each with an open floor plan designed to offer ‘comfortable luxury.’ “They are very livable and organic in a sense, but will be finished beautifully with gourmet kitchens of quartz countertops, wide plank floors, large walk-in closets, oversized windows and spacious balconies with great views,” Halterman notes. In fact, each unit will have its own outdoor space. If residents are looking for bigger entertainment areas outside, they can head up to the pool and pool deck, which features cabanas, fire pits and a kitchen.
Another attractive feature, Halterman says, is the covered parking garage; every resident will get one space with the option of purchasing a second. Townhomes automatically get two spaces. There also will be a clubhouse and fitness center, and like the other communal amenities, access is included in the condo fees. “The developers are really trying to create an oasis in the middle of the city,” Halterman says. “They want residents to have access to what they need in the building, but it’s also in a very walkable location, close to BJC, Washington University, Saint Louis University, Cortex, IKEA, and various shops and restaurants.” The building will house first-floor retail space as well.
The units range in size and price, from $220,000 for 770 square feet with one-bed, one-bath up to $950,000 for the 2,000-plus-square-foot penthouse. Floor plans include one, two and three bedrooms. “The penthouse is top level, in the corner that faces east and south,” Halterman says. “It has an incredibly huge balcony with nearly 500 square feet of outdoor space.” This unit also comes with two parking spots and technology and luxury finish upgrades.
Halterman says the public has already responded well. “There are a lot of medical and business professionals in the area looking to buy close to where they work,” she notes. “It will be a great mix of residents. We’re already receiving multiple calls and inquiries every day. The community is really excited since there hasn’t been any new real estate in the CWE in so long.”
Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of the year, with a planned launch for presale May 15. “We intend to have a launch event in June where people can take virtual tours and view floor plans and a 3-D model,” Halterman adds. “Condo delivery is slated for 2017.”
