Located on the ground, mezzanine, and second floors of the iconic Arcade Building at 812 Olive Street, this 54,000-square-foot sublease opportunity offers a rare chance to establish a premier presence in the heart of downtown St. Louis. Originally constructed in 1919 and restored in 2015, the Arcade Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and stands as one of downtown’s most celebrated landmarks, offering a setting that is both architecturally distinguished and functionally modern.
The space has been purpose-built for educational, creative, and professional use at the highest level. Ten fully equipped classrooms and seven private office spaces provide exceptional flexibility for organizations of any size. A 160-person auditorium offers a dramatic venue for conferences, lectures, performances, and corporate events, while a dedicated museum and gallery space provides a unique amenity rarely found in traditional commercial environments. Multiple conference rooms round out an already impressive suite of meeting and collaboration facilities.
Tenants will also benefit from abundant natural light, soaring historic ceilings, and beautifully preserved architectural details that create an inspiring daily environment. Forty secured underground parking spaces and controlled, secured access throughout the premises ensure both convenience and peace of mind.
Situated within the Central Business District and the Downtown Development District, 812 Olive Street offers immediate access to the region’s top employers, cultural institutions, transit corridors, and hospitality options. The building is steps from MetroLink rail service, making it highly accessible for employees, students, and visitors alike.
Whether for a university, corporate headquarters, nonprofit, government agency, or creative institution, this space delivers the scale, sophistication, and infrastructure to support an organization’s most ambitious vision. Opportunities of this character, in a building of this caliber, simply do not come available often.
