“We believe the location and iconic image of Pierre Laclede Center has had a big influence on attracting and retaining tenants, including First National Bank and The Hermann Companies,” commented KBS senior vice president Brett Merz. 

In addition, the building also features several amenities such as a conference center, on-site café, fitness center, barbershop, and a car wash service.

“Pierre Laclede Center has also undergone extensive renovations over the years that have allowed us to incorporate amenities, such as the conference center and fitness center, which we believe is another huge factor in tenant satisfaction,” added Merz.
