It’s time to start developing Samuel Shepard and Delmar here. Does someone have master rights to that land?

Well that's great news. Is this the building that used to be occupied by STL City auto/truck fleet repairs?

Nah, that's an adjacent building that's still very much in use by the city.

Stifel is selling its independent advisor unit to New York-based Equitable Financial.

Their independent advisor branch represented less than 2% of all clients assets but about 5% of all of the company's advisors.

PennyMac Mortgage, a California based firm, has taken all 77,441 feet of the former Clayco headquarters in Berkely.

Their previous St. Louis office was at 4300 Duncan in the Cortex district.

They are subleasing from Clayco, who's lease expires in 2028.

Big missed opportunity for downtown. If this is like a major office of any kind, could have had a building with signage. But no.

Rawlings spent $1 million on a statue of a glove that will reign over a suburban highway interchange.....but sure rent downtown was too high.

The amount of money wasted on this move is just sad.

^ A massive Gold Glove (NOT) towering over BPV is one of the biggest whiffs (swing & a miss) in STL corporate advertising history! Both parties should have made this happen in BPV!

CNBC just announced that of the 220,000 finance jobs created since COVID paying over $200K, the top state beneficiaries are:

1) Texas
2) Georgia
3) North Carolina
4)Florida
5) New York

Missouri, especially STL with its concentration of financial job hubs, can’t sniff this list.

We truly do suck.

This is roughly a list of the states of where the largest bank’s are HQ’d and where they locate their back offices.

Not to mention the fact that the top four states are states that all having growing populations and economies over the last couple of decades that can attract & support these finance jobs and New York is New York   Another way to look at it,  money following money and its not Missouri.

Missouri’s population and economy have both grown over the last two census periods.  Mostly thanks to the StL region on the economic growth. Why would a state with only 6 million have more nominal financial job growth than states with 10, 20, and 30 million people?

My point is just that to lament Missouri’s absence from this top 5 is to be stupid.

Yeah I agree, it's really stupid and just symptom of being pessimistic.

ILLINOIS, on the other hand should look at this with concern. Chicago is supposed to be a global financial hub and its losing ground to Atlanta and Charlotte.

Or Peabody Plaza, or 1010 Market, or Gateway One, or 200 N Broadway, or the UMB/Greensfelder building. They have plenty of options for a "Copeland Center" with prominent signage. But we all know they will end up at some generic forgettable Clayton tower and then they'll start questioning why no one knows they're from St. Louis or some stupidity.
