601-650 E Red Bud Avenue presents the opportunity for ground-up construction at the center of St. Louis’ riverfront industrial corridor, offered for ground lease or direct sale.
The 2.9-acre parcel was formerly the site of an approximately 62,000-square-foot warehouse. A tornado severely damaged the facility in 2025. Following recent demolition, this property offers a blank canvas for developers, owner-users, and investors seeking to build custom facilities without demolition costs or delays.
It is truly shovel-ready, with utility hook-ups from the former warehouse, and is zoned J-Industrial District, a broad zoning designation that permits uses ranging from automotive work and distribution to hotels and restaurants.
This address offers users a powerful location that leverages the city’s renowned multimodal network and central positioning to maximize utility. There is an adjacent rail track to the site, and several intermodal rail terminals are located just minutes away, along with riverfront water ports. Based on recent data, the US Army Corps of Engineers announced in 2025 that the St. Louis region was the most efficient inland port district in the country. The prolific network along the Mississippi River moves almost four times the average tons per mile, as compared to the other eight inland port districts in the US. Superior roadway connectivity further enhances transport capabilities, allowing drivers to reach Downtown St. Louis with ease and access air cargo transport at STL Airport in just 15 minutes.
