Highlighting Trivers’ multi-decade relationship with the St. Louis Housing Authority, the firm is serving as architectural lead for the redevelopment of the Clinton-Peabody public housing community in partnership with the nonprofit organization Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH). Originally developed in 1942, the 24-acre community includes approximately 360 housing units across 31 buildings, many of which face deferred maintenance, aging systems, and outdated, inaccessible floor plans.
As part of the redevelopment, Trivers led the master planning effort, developing a long-term vision for a connected, mixed-income neighborhood. The planning process included community engagement, urban design, housing strategy, transportation planning, landscape architecture, and implementation planning to improve connectivity, expand housing choice, enhance parks and public spaces, and strengthen connections to Downtown St. Louis and surrounding neighborhoods.
The redevelopment will create approximately 350–400 mixed-income units in a mix of townhomes, garden-style walk-up buildings, and mixed-use buildings with ground-floor retail. Construction is now underway on Phase 1, which includes three new residential buildings totaling 89 affordable housing units. The project will be completed in phases, creating modern housing, new streets, parks, and community amenities that reconnect the neighborhood and support long-term revitalization.
