History
Clark Properties is a full-service real estate development
and property management company founded by Harold L. Clark. Since
1985, Clark has acquired, renovated and sold or leased more than
5 million square feet of office, warehouse/distribution and light
manufacturing space in metropolitan St. Louis.
Clark's largest project to date is the Union Seventy Center. This former General Motors St. Louis Assembly Plant consisted of 161 acres of land and approximately 3.2 million square feet of vacated buildings. In 1989, Clark Properties purchased this facility and started its transformation into a first-class business park that consists of 2.2 million square foot multi-tenant office/warehouse building and numerous free-standing, new buildings. This award-winning project is home to Pepsi-Cola, Save-A-Lot, Smurfit-Stone, MFR Tire, Aero Speed Warehouse and United Rentals. Total investment in the park has exceeded $110 million.
Since the Union Seventy Center project, Clark has been involved
in several new projects including the Alton Center Business Park,
The Pagedale Business Center, a 323,400 square foot former Unilever
manufacturing plant; the Plymouth Industrial Park, a former Wagner
Electric site; and the renovation of two existing facilities including
a 28,000 square foot office building in Downtown St. Louis.
Philosophy
Clark Properties targets overlooked, well-located industrial sites
that can be repositioned as the lowest-cost source of high-quality
industrial space in a given sub-market. We are widely considered
to be the leading local authority on the adaptive reuse of fallow
industrial sites in econonmically distressed areas. A trademark
of the company is the active role we play in the business and civic
arenas of the neighborhoods in which we invest.
