Shaw SWG TGS Directory 2026-27

4 SHAW, SOUTHWEST GARDEN, & TOWER GROVE SOUTH Welcome to Tower Grove! Welcome to the heart of Tower Grove, where the neighborhoods of Shaw, Southwest Garden, and Tower Grove South come together to create one of St. Louis’ most vibrant, diverse, and welcoming communities. Whether you’re a longtime resident, a new neighbor, or simply discovering all that Tower Grove has to offer, we’re glad you’re here. Tower Grove is more than a collection of neighborhoods—it’s a community built on connection, investment, and pride. Every day, Tower Grove Park brings people together through concerts, festivals, farmers markets, youth sports, and family gatherings. Our thriving business districts, historic homes, walkable streets, and active neighborhood organizations make this one of the most desirable places to live in the region. The Tower Grove Community Development Corporation (TGCDC) is proud to play a role in preserving what makes these neighborhoods special while helping shape their future. Our commitment to community development has never been stronger. Today, TGCDC has nine active redevelopment projects transforming long-vacant buildings and vacant land into quality housing and renewed neighborhood assets. These investments are creating opportunities for families, strengthening commercial corridors, and returning underutilized properties to productive use. This year also marks one of our most significant milestones—the grand opening of EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill, a $22 million investment providing 64 affordable apartments for older adults. This transformational development demonstrates what is possible when public, private, and nonprofit partners work together to create lasting community impact. Beyond development, TGCDC continues to serve our neighborhoods through a wide range of programs and services, including: • Historic rehabilitation and neighborhood revitalization • Property management of 84 affordable housing units, with more on the way • Tenant Screening Services • ARCH by HomeScreen housing placement services • Neighborhood planning and community partnerships This Community Resource Guide was created to help connect you with the businesses, organizations, services, and opportunities that make Tower Grove such a remarkable place to call home. We encourage you to explore the directory, support local businesses, attend neighborhood events, volunteer, and get to know your neighbors. Together, we are building stronger neighborhoods while preserving the character and history that make Tower Grove unique. Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us continue this important work. Welcome to Tower Grove—we’re excited for all we’ll accomplish together. Warm regards, Jason Kempf Board President Tower Grove Community Development Corporation
