ST. LOUIS — Another developer is planning a major apartment complex in the Central West End, this one on a West Pine Boulevard parking lot.

Des Peres-based Balke Brown Transwestern wants to develop a $37 million, 146-unit apartment complex at 4915-4925 West Pine. It would include a 146-space parking garage. The site is between two apartment buildings and just down the street from the 36-story One Hundred apartment building that is under construction.

The proposal follows by a few months a plan by Clayton-based Koman Group for a $44 million, 200-unit apartment complex just blocks away at 4545 Laclede Avenue.

The parking lot that Balke Brown plans to develop had been owned by a company connected to an employee at Columbia, Missouri, developer Jeffrey E. Smith’s Affordable Equity Partners. It was transferred to Residences Lot LLC, a Delaware company, in May. Balke Brown has the property under contract and plans to acquire it for $2 million, according to a city report.
