     History
    The connected Arcade and Wright Buildings are some of the most prominent and historical buildings in the St. Louis downtown area. Wright (constructed in 1907) and Arcade (1913) each housed 16 stories of shops and businesses until their abandonment in the late 1970s, when most businesses relocated to the newer Paul Brown Building next door.

    Opened in 2015 as the Arcade Apartments.

     Future Plans
    Pyramid Construction will soon begin renovating Arcade and Wright to house businesses on the first few floors and loft style apartments in the rest of the buildings. This is slated to begin sometime this year, but may have been postponed as the company recently acquired the newer St. Louis Centre, a much easier restoration.

    Opened in 2015 as the Arcade Apartments. Will operate as such for the unforeseen future.
