The railroad bridge provides a critical railway link not only between Illinois and Missouri but the nation overall as one of the primary east-west rail corridors serving one of America’s largest rail hubs by car interchange volume and gross tonnage.
The project has been decades in the making and will provide major benefits for years to come including generating over $456 million of economic impact over the next 20 years alone.

As Daylight Savings Time is ushered in this Sunday, March 13th and Spring rapidly approaches, the St. Louis Metro and Southwestern Illinois (SWIL) region continues to “spring forward” with its focus on transportation, workforce development, and innovation. The continued expansion of Scott Air Force Base with over $300M in new construction and the recently announced MidAmerica Airport improvements were both big wins for the region.
2022 is already shaping up to be a great year and we look forward to more exciting announcements soon!
Sean Goding, President
MidAmerica Airport located in Mascoutah, IL has released the results of a recent economic impact study. In CY 2019, the airport generated $3.1 billion in total economic impact, up from $2.5 billion in 2012. The amount equals the sum of on-airport activity generated by the airport management and administration and airport tenants, as well as on-airport construction.
“MidAmerica Airport acts as a gateway for business and recreational visitors to the St. Louis metropolitan area and provides an affordable, hassle-free option for residents throughout our region to fly directly to a dozen popular destinations,” said MidAmerica Airport Director Bryan Johnson. “2021 has been a remarkable year and can’t wait to see what 2022 brings our way.”

Positive growth equals jobs, revenue and opportunities!!!

We’re excited to soon call Edwardsville home and become an active member of this vibrant community.”
“Amazon’s newest investment in Illinois is a commitment to the future of our state,” Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner said. “Amazon brings more than a thousand great paying jobs to Madison County and strengthens Illinois’ position as a national hub for distribution and logistics. We are excited Amazon has again chosen our state and continues to be a growing partner in economic development in the Land of Lincoln. This growth represents the type of results possible when state economic development is focused on a long-term strategy, as the newly formed ILBEDC is doing with the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.”
Both fulfillment centers will span more than 700,000 square-feet each where employees will select, package and ship items for customers.
Full-time employees at Amazon receive competitive hourly wages and a comprehensive benefits package, including healthcare, 401(k) and company stock awards starting on day one, as well as generous maternity and parental leave benefits.

The Midwest commercial real estate market continues to heat up. Office product, in particular, is performing well. And while prices are up in markets across the country, investors are increasingly targeting the Midwest as a source of great value and quality opportunities. At a time when big coastal markets have seen prices recover up to (and in some cases above) pre-recessionary highs, the Midwest remains a place where a combination of reasonable prices and an improving market creates an appealing investment dynamic. The presence of new players moving aggressively into the Midwest has helped to reinvigorate the regional marketplace, and the office market in the Midwest is extremely strong—even when compared to just 12 or 24 months ago.

“The chief economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR) believes the housing recovery is underway. In the last few month of reporting, new home sales rose 3.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 343,000. Home resales hit a two-year high and, compared to April last year, overall sales nationally were up nearly 10%.” Now that’s some good news, especially for the Estates at Palmer Creek and Monroe County where new homes continue to be built, new families are beginning their dreams and the City of Columbia, IL continues to grow and embrace quality housing and a community that fosters long-term home ownership, first-class schools and great amenities!!!
Sean Goding, President
The Pangea team recently completed additional site improvements in preparation for the Estates at Palmer Creek in Columbia, IL.

Green Product Review #2: Black & Decker’s Thermal Leak Detector helps reduce energy costs by finding energy leaks in your home. You’ll instantly identify problem areas around drafty windows and doors, and uncover hidden leaks and insulation “soft spots” around electrical outlets, recessed lights, and along floor molding. Shine the light on the wall and set the reference temperature. Reference temperature shows surface deviation from reference temp. Move the light around your house. When the temp changes by 1, 5 or 10 degrees F (user adjustable), the light will change to red or blue to indicate a hot or cold spot. Energy Star states that plugging the leaks and drafts in your home can save up to 20% off your heating and cooling energy costs. Pretty impressive!!!

Simple and relatively inexpensive ways currently exist for one to take advantage of the many scientific advances being made in “green” technology. This is great news for the residential real estate owner and potential home-buyer’s bottom line. As there is an ever-increasing amount of new “green” products appearing on the market each month, the Pangea Team has decided to highlight a few (existing or upcoming) on a bi-weekly basis. Enjoy!
Green Product Review #1: What $50 investment can you make that can possibly pay you back in one month? Simple, investigate a programmable thermostat! A programmable thermostat can save you money on your utility bill – up to 30%, if used as directed. You set it up to adjust the desired temperature when you are away from home or asleep – when you don’t necessarily need optimum comfort – and your heater or air conditioner equipment runs less. Plus, your heating or cooling comes back to a comfort level automatically when you come home or wake up. In addition, many of these units carry the EPA’s EnergyStar® rating and are designed to be very easy to use.

Both Terry and I recently hit the road to promote Pangea’s real estate development efforts in the St. Louis Metro East market. Terry was in Chicago to attend the recent Building Green Chicago Conference & Expo. Over 300 real estate, construction, design, education, government and other professionals committed to sustainable initiatives were in attendance from the city and the private sector to discuss the state of green design in Chicago.
I spent time in our great state’s capitol of Springfield meeting with representatives from DCEO (the IL Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity), the state legislature and other various individuals involved in the St. Louis Metro East effort to craft a solution to the looming implementation of the new Federal Emergency Management Agency flood maps. U.S. Senator Dick Durbin and U.S. Representative Jerry Costello are working hard to address this issue and formulate a way to protect those affected while addressing FEMA’s concerns. Pangea Development believes in responsible, low-impact development in all areas and is encouraged by the tremendous local efforts of many civic and business leaders who have taken a proactive role to ensure that the voices of those in the public and private sector are heard and considered. While in the capitol I also spent some quality time drumming up support for Pangea’s latest endeavor, The Estates at Palmer Creek, and bringing our leaders and reps up to date on Pangea’s efforts to create Metro East jobs while providing a quality built, amenity-rich residential development in Columbia, IL.

The Pangea Team recently spent a nice evening watching some great rinkside hockey compliments of the folks at Trumpet Builders & Land Services, LLC. Trumpet is a world-class green builder based in the St. Louis area and one that Pangea is hoping to work with on future endeavors. Jeff Day, Principal of Jeff Day Associates, Architecture & Planning, was also present for the night’s festivities and lively conversation about sustainable development and current St. Louis Metro East market challenges and opportunities. It was good to be in the company of such talent and the Blue’s brought home a winner on top of it. Thanks again to Paul, Jeff and Terry.

Happy 2010. Spring is almost upon us in the Midwest and Pangea is looking forward to a great year. Our Columbia, IL project, the Estates at Palmer Creek, is picking up steam rapidly and the market forecasts are encouraging. It’s been a long winter and the Pangea Team is ready to move some dirt!!! Stay tuned…..

Our architect and planner for Pangea, Sarah Nurmela, visited recently from her home base in Oakland, CA. It was great to have her in the St.Louis office and be able to spend a day together on the local St. Louis Metro East real estate development scene. The Pangea Team toured the Rock Hill Trails development in Edwardsville, IL and afterward had a nice meet and greet with Paul Henckler, President, Trumpet Homes. After a delightful luncheon at Pho Grand in St. Louis, the Pangea Team toured the downtown headquarters of Arcturis, a nationally acclaimed architecture, planning and interior design firm. It was a full day of “green dreamin'” about the bright future of eco-developing, along with some awesome networking intro’s. Truly Pangeaotic!!!!
