On Dec. 2, future residents and their families are invited to The Chase Park Plaza to take a holiday photograph with the traditional tree. From noon until 3 p.m., with no appointment necessary, families can have a photo taken and enjoy festive beverages. Future owners can contact Beth Niehoff for more information.

The Chase Park Plaza recently unveiled its plans to the St. Louis community for a new high-end, state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center called Santé. With an investment of nearly $3.5 million, the center is slated to open in February.

“Santé will be more than a workout facility,” said Santé Fitness Director Joy Rowberry. “It will be a retreat to balance mind and body.”

With an exquisite 18,000-square-foot design, the center offers individual lifestyle assessments, personal fitness training, private Pilates sessions, nutritional counseling, massage services, luxurious locker rooms and amenities, group exercise studios and a variety of group classes ― including Pilates, yoga and cycling. Fitness classes such as marathon training and “boot camp” will also make extensive use of nearby Forest Park.

Membership choices include a gold option, featuring benefits such as access to the club, daily locker use, validated free parking and all of the programs and services provided by the professional fitness and wellness team. Additionally, there is a platinum membership option, encompassing all of the gold benefits, on top of free valet parking, a permanent locker, laundry service for workout attire and extended guest privileges. A corporate membership option will also be offered.

Owners of The Private Residences will receive complimentary gold memberships, and along with charter members, will be able to take advantage of upgrading to the limited-availability platinum membership option.
