Thanks to my buddy Sean, in St. Louis who sent me a photograph of Metropolitan Square after seeing the post about Milwaukee's 100 E. Wisconsin. Metropolitan Square definitely has the same look and feel to it and, in city whose skyline is famous for the Gateway Arch, this building truly stands out!42 stories high, with a massive pedestrian arcade, a 40' lobby, and a signature green crown, Metropolitan Square is clearly on the list for me when I'm next in St. Louis. (The demands of this unusual hobby of mine just seem to keep growing!)
According to the St. Louis Business Journal, the building was sold in 2005 for $166 million to a private investment partnership.
One bit of trivia: According to Emporis, Metropolitan Square is home to the largest architecture firm in the world, HOK.
