Historic Broadview Hotel Reimagined as Senior Living Community
After sitting vacant for two decades, the iconic Broadview Hotel in East St. Louis has been transformed into a 110-unit affordable senior apartment community thanks to a $44.5 million adaptive reuse project.
Originally built in 1927, the seven-story landmark now offers modern, accessible housing for residents 55 and older—10% of which is reserved for veterans. The redevelopment was led by Efficacy Consulting & Development and designed by IMEG Corp, who provided full engineering services including structural, MEP, fire protection, and technology design.
Beyond housing, the revitalized space includes commercial amenities like a grocery store, coffee shop, fitness center, beauty salon, and a business incubator focused on minority-owned enterprises. A senior tech hub and event space round out the vision for a vibrant downtown community anchor.
Mayor Robert Eastern III called the project “awesome,” noting its role in restoring life and vitality to East St. Louis’s core. The new Broadview is more than housing—it’s a symbol of thoughtful preservation and hopeful progress.
