HISTORY
I
n 1998, DeSales completed its biggest undertaking yet, the acquisition of 130 apartment
units in 36 buildings in Tower Grove East and Fox Park. Prior to this acquistion, these
properties had been under the threat of foreclosure by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. In the fall of 1997, DeSales began negotiations with HUD to prevent
a foreclosure sale. Such a sale would have resulted in the purchase of the properties by
unknown interests. DeSales felt that long-term, community-based control of these
properties was best for Fox Park and Tower Grove East.
Upon purchase of these properties,a new marketing identity under the name Compton Hill
Apartments was adopted and a neighborhood-based leasing and management office was opened. DeSales also invested nearly $400,000 in capital improvements
at these properties.
Today, the Compton Hill Apartments are St. Louis' largest neighborhood-based apartment
community.
