Mrtraveler01 737 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Shortly after being purchased by Gray, KMOV is planning to move out of its longtime home in downtown St. Louis. Most likely moving to suburban Maryland Heights (same suburb KTVI/KPLR are in). https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/columns/joe-holleman/kmov-plans-to-leave-downtown-st-louis-eyeing-maryland-heights-area/article_6b8252a1-daba-52fa-ab23-a7187370ea4f.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 920 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I'm sure the rent will be cheaper, plus no earnings tax in the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMBC even built new studios near Swope Park instead are they trying to pit the city against the county for some tax "incentives"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I’m not sure if they rent or not. But, it’s location makes a prime spot for a hotel. If they do own the building, I’m sure a developer is offering up some big money for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably sold the building and is moving to a place with low rent. It's a move to recognize assets on the books and lower costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1811 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The St. Louis Business Journal is reporting that Gray has purchased an office building in the suburbs at 77 Progress Parkway, previously the office for a company called Biomedical Systems. They expect to be moved in by late summer or fall 2023. The brochure for the property can be found here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of it can be seen on Google StreetView; they have to have reserved parking in front of the building and keep other vehicles such as a mobile unit that can't fit in the garage outside. For security alone that's a nightmare to keep an eye on and worry about, and if I-44/55 is closed and you have traffic jammed up there? It's a mess. With Maryland Heights, a few cameras and some fencing takes care of all that, and access out is much more reasonable...plus all that natural light. It's pretty much a dead ringer for the new WMTV building, which Gray has favored of late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Jones' headquarters is on that street. I recognize the address from their statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
