The complex has remained vacant going several years. We want to know?
The mystery of what’s coming next, or at all to the business complex at the northwest corner of Clayton and Lindbergh in Frontenac lingers on. Though there are large signs on the building at 10307 Clayton Rd., developers have declined to outline any details of pending projects. Lord Partners is listed on the signage along with architect David Mason and Associates. Kurt Lord, head of Lord Partners indicates the property owner is not ready to talk about any proposed developments at this time. “We want to wait until we have further discussions with the City of Frontenac,” said Lord, declining to be interviewed about any possible projects. “Our client is just not ready to talk,” said Lord.

Neighbor Charles Shepherd objects strongly to proposed tower location on the property.
Charles “Chuck” Shepherd and his family have lived at 10 Shepherd Woods Dr. for 44 years in Frontenac adjacent to North Geyer Road and directly across from the 70 acre Sisters of Mercy Retreat Center. To Shepherd’s dismay, he’s seen this idyllic piece of property morph from residential to one with somewhat of a business nature. Over the years, the center has become a conference center; a business center and now home to an imposing cellular tower. Shepherd is unhappy about the commercialization of residential property, and feels “his ox is being gored.” A former city attorney for Frontenac, Shepherd fought city hall and lost Tuesday night at a public hearing to allow a provisional use permit for AT&T and other providers to construct a 140 …
