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.
🔥💯 agreed on the necessity for SLDC to rescind the designation of Greedstreet as developer for the #ArmoryTIF district.
Best I can tell, SLDC is still facilitating the #GreenStreetBailout, currently plotting to enable the development of one to four data centers.

The CEDB hasn’t met since May. The Aug. & Nov. meetings were cancelled.
SLDC claims the Q4 meeting was cancelled due to there being no new business.
I suspect that SLDC doesn’t want #PACEstl loan delinquencies discussed in public.🧐
The #ArmoryTIF has the city’s largest PACE loan; approved in 2023.
Re-upping requests:
1. Calling Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social
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
Since Mayor Spencer signed #datacenterSTL Executive Order 92, there has been no information disclosed to the public about the status of the data center proposed by THO Investments for #500Prospect
The site is the parking lot east of the Armory building.

#ArmoryTIF Data Center secrecy continues
Today marks four weeks since the second of two #developerpropaganda town hall meetings for the first data center in the #ArmoryTIF district. (Site: #500Prospect)
Has anyone heard from consultant Steadfast City, which ran the Oct. 9 & 13 meetings?
Today marks four weeks since the first of two #developerpropaganda town hall meetings for the first data center in the #ArmoryTIF district.
Consultant Steadfast City ran the Oct. 9 & 13 meetings, which featured “subject matter experts.”
Why haven’t the promised answers been provided to attendees?
It’s gone mighty quiet on the data center front in St. Louis city.
Rest assured, the wheels are in motion to push the proposed facility at #500Prospect through the city’s approval process.

I’m also curious about the revenue claims made at the developer’s propaganda town halls.
It’s three weeks tomorrow since the first town hall. I haven’t received an email from THO consultant Steadfast City with responses to the Qs not answered at the meetings.

Today marks two weeks since the second of two meetings hosted by the developer’s consultant on the proposed data center at #500Prospect in the #ArmoryTIF district.
I have yet to receive an email from Steadfast City addressing resident questions that were not answered on Oct. 9 & 13.
Has anyone received an email from Steadfast City/Rod Thomas-THO Investments with answers to all questions submitted at the two developer-propaganda-town-hall meetings held on October 9 & 13?

Be wary of promises that are not in writing.
FYI: SLDC has 30 days to review projects for which St. Louis Midtown Redev. Corp.* wants to authorize tax abatement. SLDC's review is conducted in secret.
The #ArmoryTIF district is eligible for up to 25 years tax abatement.
* #SLU353 Master developer
The second developer-sponsored “community engagement” town hall on data center 1 (of at least 2) starts at 5:30 p.m. today at 2319 Chouteau.
Let me know if you see any live-streaming options.

Report on the Oct. 12 #DataCenterSTL Town Hall by @kavahnmansouri.bsky.social
“City residents deserve information & input into the decision-making process for industrial uses that cause harm to health & environment,” said Maxine Gill, a member of the MO Coalition for the Environment.”
#ArmoryTIF
Prediction: Armory building will be data center no. 2
Data center 3: Goodwill warehouse (3728 Market) & adjoining property at 3852 Market.
Both properties owned by Greenstreet.
Over $2.1 M owed in delinquent real estate taxes for 3728 & 3852.
Data center 4: 700 S. Spring; owned by THO.
#ArmoryTIF
I suspect that the projected tax revenue shared by consultants Steadfast-Propaganda-City are way too high.
FYI: David Sweeney lobbies for developer THO Investments & SLU.
Not mentioned on 10/9: The #SLU353 can authorize up to 25 years tax abatement for the #500Prospect #datacenterSTL
#ArmoryTIF
“Nick Hartzler, a senior project manager with Steadfast City, said the developers do not “currently plan” to seek local tax breaks but could apply for a state program that allows certain data centers exemptions on sales and use taxes.”
#ArmoryTIF wasn’t mentioned. 👀

I suspect SLU’s lobbyist has briefed President Feser on the proposed data center in the #SLU363.
Handy that said lobbyist also represents #datacenterSTL developer THO investments/RodThomas.

Screen capture image of the Missouri Ethics Commission webpage (accessed 9/26/25), showing David Sweeney (Lewis Rice) as the registered lobbyist for THO Investments LLC. Rod Thomas of THO Investments is the applicant for a conditional use permit to construct a data center at 500 Prospect, within the Armory TIF district.

🚨 Yesterday lobbyist David Sweeney registered #DataCenterSTL developer THO Investments as a principal.
Sweeney has steered many projects through the tax incentive approval process. His clients includes St. Louis University which controls the #SLU353.

Don’t believe the projected tax revenue figures from the developer for #500Prospect in #ArmoryTIF district.
City officials have shown little appetite for scrutinizing a developer’s financial claims.
See #JeffArmsCID & #JeffArmsPID for recent failures of the BOA & SLDC to check a developer’s math
🚨 #DataCenterSTL pitch in #ArmoryTIF district!
“However, it's not clear what tax incentives may be included in the proposed project or what existing tax incentives from the original development will carry over to the new project. Those details could offset the actual impact on the city’s tax base”
