Merchandise Mart
Residential and Commercial Renovation Project
St. Louis, Missouri

In an area which was once known as the “garment district” in downtown St. Louis, stands a historic, seven story building formerly home to a large number of clothing manufacturers. With the businesses long closed, an ambitious $49 million program was undertaken to renovate the structure and turn it into residential and commercial occupancy units.
ACME Erectors, under contract to Clayco Construction, the owner’s Construction Manager, received a $1.5+ million dollar contract to perform the selective structural renovation of the facility. This work includes the general reinforcement of the existing cast-iron columns, miscellaneous steel for framing a new interior, seven-story atrium, structural framing for slabs, miscellaneous new columns, elevator wall reinforcements and all framing for the floor, columns and roof of a new rooftop penthouse. In addition, ACME was responsible for the replacement of selected wood flooring in the building and installation of a support system to create the entrance to the underground portion of the structure being converted to a parking garage.
