City Foundry STL’s thoughtful design and adaptive reuse were recently in the spotlight on America ByDESIGN. The episode focuses on how a long-vacant factory was reimagined into a dynamic, mixed-use destination—bringing new purpose, energy, and activity back to a historic site in the heart of St. Louis.
The feature walks through the transformation of the former industrial space into one of the five most visited destinations in St. Louis, MO. Set against the backdrop of a restored foundry, City Foundry STL now brings together retail shops, artist and vintage markets, food halls, a movie theater, museum, speakeasy, and more—all within one centrally located place that supports jobs and local small businesses.
Advantage Capital is proud to have partnered with the St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) on this development, providing tax credit consulting and support throughout the process. Our work with SLDC reflects our experience helping communities bring complex developments to life through thoughtful structuring and public-private collaboration.
