Property Description
Positioned on 10.74± acres of high-visibility ground in the heart of inner-ring North St. Louis County, 206 Emerling Drive offers one of the most flexible and substantial redevelopment opportunities available in the metro area today. The property is improved with approximately ~45,612 square feet of existing buildings, historically operated as a church-and-school campus, and includes a large worship sanctuary, a connected school wing with classroom spaces, support and administrative areas, an indoor basketball court, and an outdoor ball field — all surrounded by mature, park-like grounds that give the campus a distinctive sense of openness rarely found this close to the urban core.
The site sits within the City of Cool Valley in unincorporated proximity to Normandy, Bel-Ridge, and the University of Missouri–St. Louis, placing it at the convergence of established residential neighborhoods, institutional anchors, and major commercial corridors. Frontage and sight lines from Interstate 70 deliver an estimated 158,302 vehicles per day in exposure, a traffic count that turns the parcel into a true marquee location for any user who values brand visibility or community recognition. The North Hanley MetroLink station is less than a mile away, St. Louis Lambert International Airport is roughly four miles north, and direct access to I-70, I-170, and I-270 puts the entire metro within a 20-minute drive.
Although the property is currently zoned A – Single-Family Dwelling District under Cool Valley's single-family residential designation, its scale, configuration, and surrounding land uses make it a strong candidate for rezoning to multi-family residential or light industrial — uses that have been actively explored for the site. With 130 existing surface parking spaces, large open-span interior areas, and significant developable acreage, the property is equally well-suited for continued use as a church, school, daycare, charter academy, athletic facility, community center, senior living campus, medical/behavioral health facility, or ground-up redevelopment. Properties of this size and visibility, with this much existing infrastructure already in place, simply do not come to market often in St. Louis County.
