Since this property is a LIHTC property that might not have a project based rental assistance contract, it is likely that it either has no waiting list or the waiting list is shorter than properties with rental assistance. You should contact the property to verify.

Station Plaza offers affordable loft style apartment homes in west downtown St. Louis, next to Aloe Plaza and Union Station. The historically renovated apartments were originally constructed in the late 1800s as the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. Building, and used primarily as a tobacco drying warehouse. When constructed, Liggett & Myers manufactured roughly twenty percent of the nation’s plug tobacco, making them the largest producer of this type of chewing tobacco in the country and placing Station Plaza on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, its sophisticated and stunningly preserved industrial architecture is a reflection of St. Louis’ significant former tobacco industry, the era it was built in, and a reminder of the area’s treasured history.
Their homes showcase this rich history with beautifully exposed wood post and beam, high ceilings, and oversized windows that allow an abundance of natural light. These unique apartments feature open floor plans, European-styled kitchen cabinetry, all black appliances, vinyl plank wood flooring, and wonderful views of Aloe Plaza and Union Station.
This LIHTC property is among the most common types of affordable rental housing in the United States. The LIHTC program only provides subsidies to the building’s owner at construction. No subsidies are provided directly to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. Our data suggests Station Plaza does not participate in any project-based rent subsidy program. This means you must earn enough to pay the full rent or have your own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. For that reason, LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists or even none at all. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's. Because they tend to be newer, these properties are more likely to have larger units, more amenities, and greater tenant service offerings than other affordable housing programs. This property might be right for you if you have a housing voucher or enough income to pay rent, are looking for a high quality property, or need immediate availability. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
