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 ⋅ 26051165 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE UNDER CONTRACT Status ⋅ Moon Brothers Carriage Lofts BLDG.
Some lofts simply check the boxes. Others capture a feeling the moment you walk through the door. This authentic loft at Moon Brothers Carriage Lofts is unmistakably the latter, blending the warmth of soaring timber ceilings and columns, exposed interior brick, polished concrete floors, and oversized west-facing windows into a space that's rich with the character that downtown loft buyers covet. Originally constructed as the manufacturing home of the Moon Brothers Company, where elegant horse-drawn carriages were built before the company evolved into producing some of America's earliest automobiles, the building's industrial heritage still lives on throughout the architecture. As the sun begins to set, the west-facing exposure sets the mood for the evening, and with the lights on dimmers, the loft takes on the unmistakable ambiance that makes authentic city living so appealing. The open floor plan centers around a spacious kitchen with stone countertops and an island that comfortably seats three, making it equally suited for entertaining or quiet nights in. On beautiful days, prop open the BALCONY door and let a refreshing breeze drift through the living space, creating that effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that's hard to find in any downtown dwelling. Even the guest bathroom carries authentic loft character with its exposed interior brick—a charming architectural detail rarely found in spaces like this. Thoughtful conveniences, including a private laundry room with washer and dryer included, additional private storage, and a COVERED GARAGE PARKING SPACE, make everyday living just as enjoyable as the aesthetic. With only 43 residences, Moon Brothers Carriage Lofts offers the intimacy of a boutique community, complete with a private enclosed pet relief area, a rooftop deck with city views, and neighbors who quickly become familiar faces and friends.
