Spurring the Industry’s Next Revolution

A former railway spur transformed into an interior courtyard and the backbone of the Crunden Martin buildings. The Spur will be flanked by ground-floor retail, dining, and food and beverage wholesale production.

Patrons will experience the journey from creation to consumption through concepts like distilleries, roasteries, and bakeries that tap into St. Louis’ vibrant F&B scene, and benefit from public collaboration spaces and strong WiFi.

Location

Finding your lifestyle balance at Crunden Martin is simple. Enjoy riverside views from your office window, proximity to Anheuser Busch stadium and its lively Ballpark Village, and a mere three-minute stroll to Gateway Arch National Park, where 91-acres of greenspace awaits.

INTEGRATED VALUE CHAIN

Your suppliers, customers, and partners will be co-located down the hall – not across the country – accelerating design workflows and production speed. Gateway South supports the full development through manufacturing and distribution.

DEDICATED NON-PROFIT

Gateway South has a dedicated nonprofit arm that manages programs engaging the community and the industry, including the Workforce Initiative, and the Gateway Decathlon design-build collegiate competition. It also oversees activation and safety within the district’s public realm.

INCENTIVES

First movers benefit from real property tax abatement, and a variety of state & local incentives that assist with subsidizing the costs of machinery & equipment, space fit-out, employee relocation, workforce recruitment, training, and on-going operations.

SECURITY

Gateway South will be equipped with full-time district security personnel, a St. Louis Police Department, comfort station on site, and other measures in place to promote public safety.
