Facelift

Offices, retail to replace old Talayna's building

The building at Forest Park Parkway and Skinker Boulevard that used to house Talayna's restaurant will soon give way to a new University-office and outside-retail structure.

In late 2000, the St. Louis Cultural Resources Commission issued the University a demolition and building permit, granting permission to raze the badly deteriorating structure.

Designed by the St. Louis architectural firm of Johannes/Cohen, the new three-story structure will house University administrative offices. The building will provide community-friendly retail space on the first level.
