Calling @caraspencer.bsky.social !!
Why is the city processing the permit application for the Armory/Goodwill #datacenterSTL when owner Greenstreet owes over $2.8M in taxes on the #3728Market & #3852Market properties?

#DeadbeatDeveloper alert‼️
With the 3/19 Conditional Use Hearing for the Armory #datacenterSTL looming, GreenStreet still hasn’t paid the delinquent real estate taxes for #3728Market
Meanwhile GS’s CEO Hulse is collecting & spending public money as a board member for 6 taxing districts.
#SoSTL
My #SunshineWeek 📞 call to the St. Louis Collector of Revenue’s office:
“What is the total real estate tax owed on Greenstreet’s #3728Market ?”
Answer: “A LOT! What you see on the website is correct”
It’s bonkers that the city is processing the #datacenterSTL permit application for 3728 & 3852
💯this 👇
“Ignore promises of money from those who owe taxes”
The application for the “zoning only” permit to construct a #DataCenterSTL at #3728Market was signed by Phil Hulse.
An LLC operated by Hulse owes over $2.7M in real estate taxes for the property.

Similar #SunshineSTL requests for zoning records yielded very different results. #3728Market
I was charged a fee & received a 7 page PDF.
@smb-grove.bsky.social received a 33 page PDF at no charge.
Greenstreet CEO Phil Hulse signed the permit application documents.
In addition to the $2.7 M owed in property taxes (2022-25) for #3728Market , Hulse owes 2025 taxes for the #ArmoryTIF building at #3660Market & on Greenstreet HQ at #4565McRee
Ask SLDC for the status of PACE loan payments on Armory.

Aerial photograph of the Armory facility and adjacent warehouse facility in the Midtown neighborhood, City of St. Louis. The text reads: "Affiliates of deadbeat developer GreenStreet owe more than $2.7 Million in delinquent property taxes for the proposed data center site in the Armory district." According to data provided by the Collector of Revenue (accessed online on 2.4.26), delinquent property taxes are owed by affiliates of developer GreenStreet on the following parcels: 3660 Market, 3728 Market, 3852 Market St. & 500 Prospect. Disclaimer posted on the Assessor's website, regarding property taxes: "The information on this site is updated weekly, and may not show the most current balance. Please note that due to statutory regulations and some time-sensitive cases, not all accounts can be paid using the online payment system."
Screengrab image from the St. Louis Collector of Revenue webpage for property at 3728 Market St., showing unpaid real property taxes for 2022 through 2025, totaling $2,743,182. Note disclaimer shown in ALT for image 1. 3728 Market is the warehouse that currently houses the Goodwill outlet, formerly the Famous Barr warehouse. Link to webpage: https://property.stlouis-mo.gov/parcel/view/39299015000/2025
My draft, thoughtful rule for the City of St. Louis' processing of permit applications:
Applications cannot be accepted until property taxes are current.
➡️Halt the review of the Armory #datacenterSTL applications for #3728Market & #3852Market
Taxes owed by GreenStreet affiliates: $2.7+ Million! ⬅️
Note that the #datacenterSTL proposed at #3728Market & 3852 are not subject to the new regulations, even when formally adopted. Developer applied for conditional use permits on Jan. 16.

#DataCenterSTL consultant Steadfast City pens letter in @stltoday.com, signing it from alder 11 & alder/banker 2.
The letter omits the $2,743,182 in back taxes (2022 thru 2025) owed on #3728Market by Greenstreet.

Mayor Spencer’s Executive Order 92 on #DataCentersSTL uses “thoughtful” eleven times.
Will the information submitted by developer THO/Contour be available to the public prior to the Conditional Use Hearing for the proposed data center at #3728Market & #3852Market ?
Let’s check the property tax delinquency on the #3728Market property (Goodwill warehouse):
Greenstreet affiliate owes over $2.7 M. The Collector of Revenue filed a tax suit in 2025.
Did THO/Contour answer the 44 questions when applying for the permit?
#DatacenterSTL
#DeadbeatDeveloper
Jan. 16 was hectic:
Permit applications filed.
THO & Contour disclosed their proposed data center for the #3728Market property.
Consultant Steadfast City emailed attendees of the two #DeveloperPropaganda town halls. The email didn’t answer a single FAQ; the developers’ release was attached.
St. Louis Assessor “property information” webpage for 3728 Market St., showing a permit “zoning only” permit application was submitted on 1.16.26.

Request for @firstalert4.com
Please don't quote the developer's claims for tax revenues generated by the proposed data center at #3728Market without substantiation.
LMK if you attended the meeting last week at which the #DataCenterSTL development team made its pitch to city officials.
The new proposal by THO is to build a mammoth data center on the site of the current Goodwill warehouse at #3728Market Owner Greenstreet owes $2.7 M in prop. taxes for 2022-25.
Is developer GreenStreet paying its fair share of taxes to fund City services, St. Louis Public Schools and other taxing jurisdictions?
GreenStreet owe over $2.2 Million for the Goodwill warehouse at #3728Market & the adjacent #3852Market
See ALT on images for further details.

Please provide an update on status of THO's proposed data center
2. Calling @developstlouis.bsky.social
Please nullify the #ArmoryTIF development agreement with #deadbeatdeveloper GreenStreet.
See C.O.R. #3728Market info in ALTs 2 & 3
1) St. Louisans deserve an update from Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social on the status of the #datacenterSTL at #500Prospect
2) St. Louis Development Corp. should nullify the #ArmoryTIF development agreement with Greenstreet.
GS owe over $2.1 M in back taxes on the Goodwill warehouse at #3728Market
Hulse's delinquent tax bill on the Goodwill warehouse* topped $2.08M, last I checked. One has to check the geostlouis website to find the real estate property tax bill for 2022.

Calling Otis Williams & Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social
Please call Phil Hulse & demand he pay the City of St. Louis ALL his delinquent property tax bills & any delinquent loans*.
