Chris Goodson and Trace Shaughnessy are tackling another project in Lafayette Square. The Gilded Age Renovation partners are building the Union Club, three floors of condos with ground-level commercial space, on the site of the former Aldi's grocery store at Jefferson and Lafayette. Yomi Martin, Nelly's retail derrrty and cousin, will operate Jerseyville, a sports bar and restaurant, on the ground floor. (I had to make this about hip hop somehow.)

Goodson and Shaughnessy's signature project is the transformation of the City Hospital complex into the Georgian Condominiums. The development's amateurish website has some pretty photos of the display units and a nice rendering of the front elevation. They seem to have jumped the gun a bit with the big "NOW OPEN" banner on the side of the building (the standard punch line is "... to the elements"), but we'll cut them plenty of slack for taking on such a mindblowingly big and difficult project.
