A group of Creve Coeur neighbors working to ensure safe, responsible development at Graeser & Olive
Graeser Neighbors for Safety is a committee of residents and neighbors near the southwest corner of Olive Boulevard and Graeser Road in Creve Coeur, Missouri. We are not against development at this corner — we welcome it. Our goal has always been to make sure that development follows the city's Comprehensive Plan, honors the East Olive Corridor and Neighborhood Commercial vision, meets the city's design guidelines, and fits the neighborhood around it. We'd genuinely welcome the opportunity to help guide that choice.
A 147-unit, 4-story apartment development proposed by Garrison Companies. Neighbors raised concerns about density far exceeding the Comprehensive Plan, traffic, school and tax impacts, and undefined public subsidies. After Planning & Zoning declined to recommend it and City Council tabled it, the owner withdrew the application in July 2026.
Before Graeser Station, this same property was the subject of a multi-year legal matter over a proposed QuikTrip gas station. Neighbors organized, the city denied the permit, and after litigation reached the Missouri Supreme Court — the city prevailed in December 2022.
What happens along Olive Boulevard affects all of us. Decisions on nearby properties — from Olia Village to the Schnucks site at Olive & Spoede — will shape our corridor for decades. We encourage neighbors to stay informed and engaged on the choices facing the whole neighborhood.
