St. Louis is a city well located in the middle of the United States.  Home to 21 Fortune 1000 companies and 9 Fortune 500 companies, it is also home to some of the country’s largest privately held companies. The metropolitan area has a rich and diverse business landscape identified by five very distinct clusters – plant and medical sciences, advanced manufacturing, information and health technology, transportation and distribution, and financial services.  With land development on the Missouri and Illinois sides of the river and with a population of more than 1.5 million available in the work force, St. Louis has every reason to be excited about its commercial real estate growth.

For the next few years, St. Louis will be facing one of its biggest challenges it has had in some time.  The closing and reconstruction of its major thoroughfare, Highway 64/40, will significantly disrupt not only the east-west flow of traffic in the city/county areas, but also the north-south flow.  Many companies have been researching solutions to keep their businesses and profit margins unaffected by this highway construction project.  CresaPartners St. Louis has led the way as a commercial real estate advisor to companies seeking to relocate or to add a satellite office.  The CresaPartners staff has also been assisting companies wanting to renew or to renegotiate current leases in order to leverage certain advantages created by the adverse conditions of the highway project.

The Greater St. Louis metropolitan area offers an inventory of over 48 million square feet of office space (65% of which is Class A).   However, growth and expansion have been crunching the numbers by shrinking the supply of Class A space immediately available, thereby driving an increase in Class B.  Our link to the St. Louis Tenant’s Guide will give you more about the current market specifics such as average rental and vacancy rates.  Our professional staff at CresaPartners can further assist you in finding ideal solutions for any real estate needs.
