Development of the Year!
We're proud to share that EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill has been named the St. Louis Development Corporation's 2026 Development of the Year!

What began as a vision in 2017 became reality in 2026, a nine-year journey of partnership, persistence, and commitment to the Bevo Mill neighborhood.

The award was presented by St. Louis Development Corporation - SLDC President & CEO Stephen Westbrooks and Mayor Cara Spencer, and accepted by Sean Spencer (Executive Director, Tower Grove CDC), Jason Kempf (Board President, Tower Grove CDC), Adam Marles (President & CEO, EverTrue), and Nikki Jennings (VP of Operations, EverTrue).

More than 900 people attended this year's celebration, and EverTrue and Tower Grove CDC were joined by over 30 guests who came out to celebrate with us. We even had a plug with our friends News 4 Great Day

Thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible!

What a day! So great to celebrate Crossroads at Bevo Mill as the Development of the Year!

EverTrue's newest Affordable Housing community, EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill, was named "Development of the Year" at today's Mayor's Celebration of Businesses Luncheon! The luncheon, which is powered by the St. Louis Development Corporation - SLDC, recognizes projects that strengthen St. Louis neighborhoods and its economy.

Located directly across from the historic Bevo Mill windmill, the EverTrue Crossroads community was co-developed with Tower Grove Community Development Corporation with a simple purpose: to give older adults who have spent their lives in Bevo Mill a high-quality, affordable way to stay in the neighborhood they love. EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill is the first project in the area built to the design and development goals of the Bevo Great Streets Plan.

"We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from Mayor Cara Spencer and the St. Louis Development Corporation," said Adam Marles, President and CEO of EverTrue. "EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill shows what’s possible when a community comes together around a shared vision. Older adults who helped build this neighborhood deserve the chance to grow older here, close to their friends, their churches and the places they know."

We give thanks to the many partners who made Crossroads at Bevo Mill possible, including Tower Grove CDC, architect Rosemann & Associates, Better Bevo Now Neighborhood Association, the Newport Heights Neighborhood Association and The Bevo CID.
