Downtown St Louis

Recent History

Downtown St Louis has undergone a tremendous renaissance in the past decade into a thriving destination for restaurants, cultural events, and significant residential growth.  Beginning in 1999 with the formation of Downtown NOW by then Mayor Clarence Harmon, plans were established to begin rebuilding Downtown with plans to address different regions of downtown. 

The plans for development in the Downtown Now plan centered around 4 specific areas:

  • Ballpark / Cupples Station
  • Old Post Office District
  • Downtown West
  • Washington Avenue Garment District

A rarity in governmental planning:  the reality far exceeded the original goals of Downtown Now.  Over 5 billion dollars have been invested in developing Downtown St Louis and its not over.  The Partnership for Downtown St Louis is continuing the growth by developing the Downtown NEXT plan for growth between now and 2020.  Downtown Next is focused on continuing the momentum towards re-establishing Downtown St Louis into a thriving community center, and increasing population to 20,000 in the downtown area by adding different types of residences from the lofts and condos available presently.

Downtown St Louis population has continued to grow by approximately 500 people per year, based on numbers published by the Partnership for Downtown St Louis. Current figures are that downtown population is 14,000 persons.  Demographic data for downtown also points to a more educated, professional, higher paid population as many of the lower rent apartments were cleared out and larger, newer spaces were rented and sold for a higher market rate.

Premier Realty Exclusive has been actively involved in the Downtown Renaissance by selling and reselling downtown lofts and condos since 2004, participating in Partnership for Downtown St Louis committees and subcommittees, participated in the Downtown St Louis Residents Association, participation in St Louis Association of Realtors Urban Affairs Committee, and maintaining membership in the St Louis Convention and Visitors Commission.  Premier Realty Exclusive represents buyers and sellers.  They have represented many individuals as well as a majority of the developers in the downtown area;  having represented CH2 Development, Loftworks,  McGowan Brother Development, Blue Urban, and currently representing  Sherman and Associates.  Premier Realty Exclusive has listed and sold in nearly almost every downtown loft or condo building.

2 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 26054697 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ Elder Shirt Lofts BLDG.
Welcome to The Collector's Loft. For the past four years, this remarkable residence has served as the private gallery of an avid collector whose passion for early American artifacts, fine art, pop art, sculpture, antiques, and music has transformed the space into one of downtown St. Louis' most distinctive homes. Housing an extraordinary collection—including a beautifully restored 1913 Baldwin grand piano—the loft has welcomed musicians for intimate performances and has even displayed artwork destined for permanent installation at Graceland. More than simply a home, it has functioned as a rotating exhibition and gathering place, where every corner tells a story while showcasing the incredible scale and flexibility of the expansive open floor plan. Beneath this one-of-a-kind gallery experience lies everything loft enthusiasts search for: soaring timber ceilings supported by massive wood columns, exposed interior brick, oversized industrial windows, and the authentic architectural character that can only be found in a historic warehouse conversion. A dramatic fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the main living area, creating a natural focal point within the expansive space and an inviting place to gather on a chilly evening. The generous open living and dining areas easily accommodate furniture of virtually any scale, while the oversized kitchen offers an enviable amount of counter space for the serious cook, gas cooking preferred by all the great chefs, and a bar-height counter with comfortable seating for six. Just beyond the kitchen is a distinctive additional seating area created by the current owners—an intimate little space that works beautifully on its own but could also be incorporated into the kitchen for those wanting an even larger culinary and entertaining area. Tucked away from the main living spaces, the expansive primary suite offers something not always found in a loft: genuine privacy. Its walls extend all the way to the ceiling and a traditional door completely separates the bedroom from the rest of the home, creating a true retreat complemented by a spa-like bathroom featuring a curbless walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and an impressive custom walk-in closet. Another coveted and surprisingly rare feature is the dedicated laundry room, generously sized enough to accommodate a small workspace in addition to full-size laundry appliances and storage. The residence also includes one dedicated parking space in the private garage and an extra-large private storage cage. For those seeking a truly turnkey loft, the sellers are also willing to negotiate leaving the furniture, offering the opportunity to step into this extraordinary space with much of its distinctive character already in place. Located just steps from the energy of Washington Avenue, you'll enjoy walkable access to restaurants, nightlife, sporting events, and entertainment while appreciating the quieter atmosphere of a location set just off the main thoroughfare. Even more exciting, downtown continues to build momentum with transformative projects like the forthcoming Washington Avenue Food Hall and the creation of the new Downtown Entertainment District, bringing fresh investment, new destinations, and renewed vibrancy to the neighborhood. Once the gallery moves on, an extraordinary canvas awaits its next curator.
