1700 S. Jefferson offers a 5,170 SF first-floor retail space for lease in the Lafayette Square neighborhood, located at the intersection of S. Jefferson and Highway 44.

The space features floor-to-ceiling windows, providing abundant natural light throughout the interior and creating strong visibility into the space from the street. High ceilings add to the sense of openness, supporting a range of retail, showroom, or service-based buildouts without feeling constrained by a low-clearance layout.

The property’s location at the intersection of S. Jefferson and Highway 44 provides strong regional accessibility and visibility, benefiting from both local Lafayette Square traffic and commuters traveling along the highway corridor. This combination of neighborhood and highway exposure supports a broader customer reach than a purely local side-street location would offer.

Lafayette Square is an established, walkable neighborhood known for its historic character and active local business and residential community, providing tenants with a built-in base of neighborhood foot traffic in addition to drive-by exposure from the surrounding roadways.

The combination of a large, light-filled retail space, high ceilings, and a highly visible intersection location at S. Jefferson and Highway 44 makes this property a strong option for retailers or service providers seeking substantial space with strong natural light and both local and regional traffic exposure.

This is a well-suited leasing opportunity for businesses looking to establish a visible, spacious retail presence in one of St. Louis’s most recognizable historic neighborhoods.
