2200 Locust, West Downtown St. Louis
The five-story building at 2200 Locust Street is about to get a makeover.
Paramount Property Development, the new owner, plans to restore the building's 1916 street view by taking down the panels that block the ground-floor windows. It's part of the project to return the building to a mixture of retail and office tenants.
Realty Exchange Commercial Group handled the purchase for Paramount Property and will market the building, which is just west of the Schlafly Tap Room near the western edge of downtown St. Louis. For now, the building is only 40 percent occupied.
Perfume maker Lacassian Laboratories was the building's first occupant. National Chair and Furniture Co. was in the building for three decades. City records show that DeWoskin Properties Corp. owned the building before Paramount Property.
