Ben Muchoki of M + RW told me last November that they had sold the Dragon Trading Building. The St. Louis Business Journal reported today that the four-story Dragon Trading Building, built in 1926, will be converted into lofts, with first-floor retail space. There will be arund 36-40 rental lofts available once completed.

It's a very interesting building with a lot of potential.
It even has underground parking already.

It's good to remember these slightly smaller projects. They used to be considered huge projects. This is going to awesome
Mixed feelings about this one. I like a neighborhood with a mixture of uses. That building was used for something necessary and cool. Ahh, the price of progress.
That building just to the left of it could be something really cool. I haven't quite figured it out yet. Maybe a club, a restaurant, a market.

The westward expansion of loft conversions continues with the recent sale of the old Dragon Trading building at 1709 Locust St.
"One after the other, the buildings coming up Locust are being converted to lofts, like dominoes," said Don Ko, owner of Dragon Trading, a buyer and seller of new and used restaurant supplies.
Ko's company has occupied the four-story, 60,000-square-foot building for the past 22 years. But at 73, Ko decided to retire, so he sold the building to a local group of real estate investors and developers last August for $1.25 million.
