A generational West County retail opportunity has come to market for the first time in 37 years. 12910 Olive Boulevard is a freestanding, 37,080 square foot retail building on 1.76 acres in the heart of the Creve Coeur corridor.
Built in 1987 and designed by renowned St. Louis architect Tom Hall of MTH Architects, the building is a landmark on Olive Boulevard that has been owner-occupied and meticulously maintained by a single occupant since construction. The structure is split-level: approximately 18,540 square feet of primary showroom space on the upper level features direct Olive Boulevard frontage, full glass façade, and dramatic flagpole and monument signage identity — the kind of corridor presence that destination retailers, experiential operators, and branded users actively seek. The lower level adds an equal 18,540 square feet of functional support space suited to storage, back-of-house operations, or secondary use; it is included with the building and elevator served.
The site carries 310 feet of Olive Boulevard frontage, a large surface parking field, and C-8 commercial zoning — one of the most permissive designations in the county, accommodating a wide range of retail, medical, office, fitness, automotive, and entertainment uses. Traffic counts on this segment of Olive exceed 16,000 vehicles per day at the property. The surrounding five-mile trade area is anchored by BJC West County, Centene, Edward Jones, and Monsanto/Bayer, with median household incomes well north of $180,000 — a consumer base that supports destination retail of every category.
The Tom Hall architecture — curved canopy, ribbon glazing, flagpole cluster — gives the building a visual identity that cannot be replicated in new construction at this location. It photographs well, brands well, and resists obsolescence. A prospective tenant or buyer acquires not just square footage but a recognized address on one of suburban St. Louis's most durable retail arterials.
Likely users include large-format furniture and home-goods showrooms, flooring and tile destination retailers, fitness and wellness operators (Lifetime, EOS, Crunch, Orangetheory), entertainment concepts (pickleball, family entertainment, experiential retail), and owner-user buyers in the automotive, educational, or creative-office categories. The building's flexibility under C-8 zoning means the tenant pool is broad; the right user will secure a cornerstone address that has not been available to the market in nearly four decades.The property is managed and presented in move-in condition. Immaculate upkeep over the full ownership period means no deferred maintenance surprise. A well-qualified tenant or buyer can execute quickly. Tours available by appointment.
