The developers say the grocery would occupy all of that ground-level space, according to documents submitted to the city.

The company is seeking $3.8 million in TIF assistance for the $25.6 million project. That is just less than 15 percent of the project costs, the unofficial St. Louis ceiling for TIF assistance.

TIF diverts increases in property and sales taxes to developers for use as project costs. The St. Louis TIF Commission is scheduled to hear a developer presentation at 8 a.m. Wednesday at 1520 Market Street and set a full public hearing for May 31.

The project also calls for 127 underground parking spaces for residents. Almost 90 of the 100 apartments would be one-bedrooms or studios, with the remainder slated as two-bedroom apartments.
