Historic renovation of existing building for 222 loft apartments, 20,000-sq.ft. of white box retail space, 50,000-sq.ft. of parking in the building, a club room, exercise room and roof top pool.

Designed by Preston J. Bradshaw and built in 1925, the building has a stepped massing from 12 stories to 16 stories. The 12-story segment was built on the original foundation and first floor of the Oddfellows Building, which opened in 1888. The building was named after its owner, Paul Brown, who at the time of his death in 1927 was one of downtown St. Louis' largest property owners. The last office tenants vacated the building in the early 1990s. The last retail tenant moved out in 2003.

The structure is distinguished by an ornate exterior trim that is also expressed in the interior. The arched entrance on Olive Street is accented with terra cotta blocks that imitate rusticated stone and that rest on a pink granite base. An original cast-iron-framed storefront is found on the Pine Street side of the building.Inside, an elaborate barrel vault ceiling tops a resplendent lobby with original marble floors, crown molding and four paired brass elevator doors. Original turn of the century photos of St. Louis will be preserved to again adorn the lobby, which will also include a business center and resident lounge. Original corridor detailing, such as marble floors, wood trim, plaster crown molding and existing entry doors, will be retained. Lighting fixtures will be historically replicated. partments will be found on the second through sixteenth floors and range from 590 to 1,650-sq.ft. The building's profusion of windows means that no unit will have less than four windows.
