A premier first-generation retail leasing opportunity is now available at the ground floor of the brand new 11th and Spruce Apartment Building in Downtown St. Louis, offering an incoming tenant the rare chance to design and finish a completely untouched commercial space within one of the city’s most exciting and recently delivered mixed-use developments. With 2,822 square feet of flexible, move-in ready space and a landlord prepared to work with the right tenant on buildout, this is an ideal opportunity for a retailer, restaurateur, or fitness operator looking to establish a flagship presence in a high-energy downtown location.

Built in 2024, the 11th and Spruce Apartments represent one of downtown St. Louis’s newest and most impressive residential additions, featuring 148 high-end apartment homes that bring a built-in and captive customer base directly to your doorstep. The building’s residents are exactly the kind of engaged, spending urban consumers that retail and food and beverage operators depend on for consistent daily revenue, making this ground-floor commercial space an enviable position for the right business concept.

The space’s open and flexible first-generation layout lends itself naturally to a wide range of uses, including specialty retail, quick service dining, café concepts, boutique fitness, wellness services, personal care, or any number of neighborhood-serving businesses that thrive in dense, walkable urban environments. The absence of prior tenant improvements means the incoming operator has complete creative freedom to design a space that perfectly reflects their brand and operational requirements.

Location is among the property’s most powerful assets. Situated just three blocks from Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals, the surrounding area generates tremendous foot traffic on game days and throughout the year from the hotels, restaurants, offices, and entertainment venues that define this corner of downtown. With a brand new building, an unfinished canvas, and one of downtown’s best addresses, this opportunity is not expected to remain available for long.
