Yeah c’mon, Mark. We should be thankful that this job creator who supports the structural/political inequities in our community that weaken our position relative cities like Chicago and Dallas reluctantly remains in our boring ass suburb.

Just not cool Haversham. The amount times a year RGA gets wooed by the Chicago’s, Dallas’, Atlanta’s to move their HQ is astounding. And they choose to stay. And they do great charitable work here. My goodness.

You really need to move to Cuba dude, and not the one down I-44.
I don't see what white flight has to do with charity, or why I should move to Cuba because I don't think RGA put their offices in Chesterfield and St. Charles by accident.
Dude, my neighbors moved to STL to work at RGA. Their coworkers, too. We're all in the City. They commute and work from home. You flat out don't know what you're talking about. Quit trying to be provocative on unfounded stuff. 
It's not unfounded.

Edit: ^^^ Eric Idle is right.

I don't have a grievance, I just don't think RGA would ever consider an urban campus in the foreseeable future. Obviously that would've been a more interesting prediction ten years ago, before they built a new HQ in Chesterfield even further west than their old one.

Damn, I should've bought Viterra parent company Glencore shares when I first heard of this merger. I'd be up a full 13% within 3 weeks. Eh, spilled milk... 

Anyways... 

STL Biz Journal: St. Louis' Core & Main to buy J.W. D’Angelo Co. Inc.

CNM is quickly turning into one of my favorite companies in STL. They're continuing to both generate regular quarterly earnings beats while acquiring most other players in their industry. They've been on a total tear buying up small-cap water-related industrials. They went public not quite two years ago, and already they have a market cap of about $6.5BB.

From the Business Journal:
Japanese manufacturer, Brazilian jet maker form St. Louis-based company to create electric systems for so-called 'flying cars'

Nidec Corp., the Japanese manufacturer of electric motors, and Brazil-based aircraft maker Embraer are creating a new joint venture that will be headquartered in St. Louis with a focus on developing electric systems for emerging aircraft that have been described as “flying cars.” 

The joint venture between Nidec Corp. and Embraer (NYSE: ERJ) will create a new company, Nidec Aerospace LLC, to provide electric propulsion systems for aerospace companies. Nidec will own 51% of Nidec Aerospace, with Embraer having a 49% stake in the new firm.

That makes two HQs on Emerson's former campus in Ferguson now.

Though Nidec has been operating a location there since acquiring one of Emerson's business units back in 2010.

That’s what I’m quietly hoping. I really like that Embraer is involved. I think that’s a new aerospace company for STL. (Side note, Brazil is a good international connection, they’re huge in agriculture. And, what the heck, Messi is from our sister city Rosario, Argentina.) And now Gulf Stream is adding jobs. It’s nice to claw back into aerospace.

That’ll take Gulfstream’s operation at CPS to around 700 people.  Pretty good sized outfit…nice win for the Metro East.

Actually, there's three HQs in the former Emerson site now: Nidec Motor Corporation, Copeland, and now Nidec Aerospace.

"With headquarters in St. Louis, MO, Nidec Motor Corporation (NMC) is the leading manufacturer of commercial, industrial, and appliance motors and controls. The NMC product line features a full line of high efficiency motors, large and small, that serve industrial, residential, and commercial markets in applications ranging from agriculture, water treatment, mining, oil and gas, and power generation to pool and spa motors, air conditioning condensers, rooftop cooling towers, and commercial refrigeration. NMC also makes motors, controls, and switches for automotive and commercial markets."

Nidec Corporation, the parent company of NMC, is HQ'd in Kyoto, right beside the shinkansen line that runs between Kyoto and Osaka.

Too bad

StlToday - GKN Aerospace is closing. The first wave in 700-plus St. Louis-area layoffs start Aug. 25.
GKN Aerospace gave its first formal indication Friday of when it will begin to lay off the more than 700-person workforce at its Hazelwood facility that produces aviation parts.

The British-owned manufacturer of parts for military and commercial planes said that 50 workers will be laid off on Aug. 25, “to be followed by a continuous, non-stop phase-out of operations and employee separations, with a final layoff on or by Dec. 31,” according to a letter the company submitted to Missouri labor officials.

I am not sure why Boeing doesn’t just buy them if they need them. Should be cheap if they are going under

Charles Schwab to close its Town and Country office as employees go remote
Employees who work at 700 Maryville Centre Drive, off Interstate 64 and North Outer 40 Road, will move to remote work full-time once the Town and Country office closes, a company spokesperson said — though no timeline was disclosed. 
The shift will not affect client service nor Charles Schwab’s branch locations in the St. Louis area, the spokesperson said. The company employs about 1,100 people across the region. 

Charles Schwab is the latest company to rework its real estate footprint following the coronavirus pandemic, which upended how businesses operate. Many corporations across the country downsized or dumped their offices altogether in a bid to cut costs and/or attract and retain employees as remote work gained popularity. Other companies, meanwhile, are waiting until their leases expire in the near future to determine how their needs have changed.

And then what do you do with those offices when they're empty? These really can't be reused as condos, apartments, or hotels, unlike city buildings.
