The deals come as office vacancy in the St. Louis market grew 2 percentage points to 14.1% in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to the fourth quarter in 2019. In west St. Louis County, office vacancy grew from 11.6% to 14% year over year, according to the latest research from Cushman & Wakefield.

The firm's total investment in the 860,000-square-foot portfolio, near Interstate 64 and Clarkson Road, was more than $100 million, including the acquisition price and renovation. Capital improvements include new amenities such as food services, lounges, conferencing facilities, fitness centers and HVAC systems.
