ST. LOUIS — Tarlton Corp. has completed a $28 million renovation of two historic buildings that formerly housed Shriners Hospital for Children and Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis. The general contractor converted the adjacent buildings into a 160-unit apartment property known as The Core Apartment Residences. Amenities include common kitchens, a community room, game room, media lounge, fitness center and music practice space. The scope of work included restoring the existing masonry facade, window repair or replacement, installation of new mechanicals, plumbing, electrical systems and fire protection, paving and landscaping. The Shriners and CID buildings, both of which originally opened in the 1920s, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. BOBB was the developer and Lawrence Group served as the project architect.
