Three Key Amenities to Consider in a Commercial Office Space
The six-story building, completed in 1931, has been the newspaper's headquarters since 1959, the year that the Post-Dispatch bought the property and printing equipment from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, a now-defunct morning newspaper.
01. Great space
In addition to the building, there are several parking lots totaling 2.91 acres that hold more than 400 vehicles for sale at $1.35 million. A total price for both the building and the parking lots is $5.6 million.
02. High-speed Internet
The planned sale mirrors similar moves by other media organizations. Major metropolitan newspapers, such as the Star Tribune of Minneapolis and the Philadelphia Inquirer, have relinquished large headquarters buildings that were built for an earlier age.
03. Ideal Location
In St. Louis, presses at the downtown headquarters went silent in 2008, freeing up considerable space. All printing, inserting and distribution operations now take place at the Pulitzer Publishing Center in Maryland Heights.
E. Lansing Ray, publisher of the Globe-Democrat, began plans for a building at 12th Street and Franklin Avenue (now Tucker and Dr. Martin Luther King Drive) in 1929 because of dramatic circulation and advertising growth.
