I thought that Osborn & Barr had some pretty nice digs in Clayton, MO but from the sound of it they’re going to get even nicer. Of course there is that downtown traffic to contend with but then it wasn’t great out in the Clayton area either at times. Last week they announced that the agency will be re-locating its headquarters to downtown St. Louis.
The move completes plans to renovate the Ballpark Lofts I, Cupples 9 Building, placing the agency in the heart of St. Louis rich, agricultural heritage. The renovation also brings more dining, office and living space to the historic area.
For decades, the Cupples Building complex was the major river/rail shipping center in the country, specifically helping Americas farmers ship their goods throughout the country, says Steve Barr, CEO of Osborn & Barr. As an agricultural agency based in St. Louis that is an extremely important and emotional connection for us, particularly given all of the clients we work with in Missouri. The building is on the National Historic Register, so our space will strongly feature that history as we transform it to be a creative destination that our clients will enjoy.
