Paric is the contractor for the $14 million redevelopment of the Elias Hass Building, creating 100 loft-apartments. The six-story, 97,325 square foot building also includes 10,000 sq.ft of retail.

From its construction in 1914 through much of the first half of the 20th century, the Elias Haas Building in St. Louis was associated with two of the city's prominent industries - garments and cars. It began as a hat factory but a few years later the first floor of the six-story building was transformed into an automobile dealership. The longest and most successful tenant of this brick and terra cotta building was the Lowenbaum Manufacturing Company, which made ladies garments. Various automobile dealerships were located here, beginning with the Phillips Motor Company. The building meets the registration requirements of the "Historic Auto-Related Resources of St. Louis" Multiple Property Submission.

Paric has brought the design/build team together with the owner's architect and engineers to maximize leaseable space within the existing structure.  Along with the Building Department and Fire Marshall, the design team has created a unique corridor pressurization that allows safe evacuation of the residential units at the dead end corridor.  The combination of masonry, terra cotta, stucco and marble exterior façade create a standout building along a street with many fine historic renovations. Interior finishes include 'lofty' - exposed glazed brick and concrete columns and ceilings, refurbished wood flooring, new drywall partitions, casework and millwork.
