Lofty Development

In 1913, an 11 story brick building was built in downtown St. Louis. Known as the Merchandise Mart Annex, the building was connected via tunnels to the adjacent building, the Merchandise Mart. As the garment industry flourished downtown, manufacturers exhibited their merchandise at these facilities.

The building at 417 North 10^th Street is being transformed into open, airy loft condominiums ranging in size from 1, 530 square feet to 3, 800 square feet and priced at $ 120,000 to $ 280, 000. Each unit features refurbished wood floors, exposed brick walls and seven-foot high windows. All available units were sold in six weeks and the 10^th Street Lofts has the distinction of being the first "for sale" loft condominiums in St. Louis.

Bell Electric is providing design/build electrical services for the tenant finish of 30 lofts units. Pyramid Commercial Contracting, LLC is the general contractor of this renovation project. Owner and developer, Craig Heller, is leading the way in rejuvenating the housing market in downtown St. Louis.
