Jill Aboussie | City Restoration & Revival LLC
2023 McReynolds Award, Saint Louis City
“Jill Aboussie founded City Restoration & Revival in 2002 and over the last 20 years has dedicated her career to the stabilization and beautification of her own neighborhood of Tower Grove South, and beyond. Aboussie wears many hats; as a licensed realtor she leads all aspects of purchasing, selling, and managing her properties, and on renovation projects she serves as both project manager and general contractor. As one of few women in St. Louis’ developer/contractor industry, Jill has forged her own path. Her work has inspired many and served as a model for young developers wanting to take on preservation projects throughout the city. She is not one to shy away from a difficult project and many of her renovations tackled missing roofs, crumbling walls, critter infestations, and other issues that most would cite as cause for demolition. Her earliest projects pre-date Tower Grove’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places and were driven purely by her belief in making her neighborhood better. The ability to utilize both State and Federal Historic Tax Credits on many of her later projects is a bonus, and helps make her projects more feasible. Jill values St. Louis’ unique architectural history. She believes that historic preservation is the way to reduce problem properties, vacancies and crime, and that renovation projects like hers will inspire others in the neighborhood to value and improve their community. Missouri Preservation applauds Jill Aboussie for her tireless work ethic and dedication to breathing life into historic neighborhoods of St. Louis.”
