Just attended the Industrial Summit St. Louis hosted by MetroWire Media, and it was a fantastic event! The discussion on industrial development across both the Metro East and Metro West sides of St. Louis, covering Missouri and Illinois, was incredibly insightful. A big kudos to Dan Merlo for expertly moderating and to the panelists: • Christy Wirth, SIOR, CCIM (Cushman & Wakefield ) • Matt Sander (ARCO Construction Company, Inc.) • Ben Haas (EQT Exeter) • Stephen Davis, MBA (St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) • Matthew Hrubes (CBRE) The conversation touched on key trends shaping the industrial market, from regional growth to infrastructure development and the importance of collaboration across industries. As we see this momentum continue, it’s clear that the success of these projects depends on strong partnerships and innovative approaches. At icon Mechanical, we’re excited to be part of this evolution, contributing to both Missouri and Illinois markets with our expertise in design-build and mechanical solutions. Looking forward to the exciting opportunities ahead in the region’s industrial landscape! #IndustrialDevelopment #STL #ConstructionInnovation #IconMechanical #DesignBuild #ModularConstruction Allie Terbrock, Brandi Ball, Liz DeBold Austin, Lisa J.

Another excellent MetroWire Media event - another fantastic selfie with Lisa J. Newberg, CPSM! This Q3 session dealt with addressing St. Louis' Industrial sector, featuring panelists from ARCO Design/Build, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, EQT Exeter, and St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC)! Moderator Dan Merlo (Intelica) did an exceptional job! Also a joy to be back at Artori Group, following some work trips to Oakline Studio earlier this year! St. Louis is here and ready for more #MetroWireMedia events to come!!

A productive and inspiring two days attending the St. Louis Council of Construction Consumers (SLC3) and MetroWire Media Forum & Networking Events! Yesterday: I had the pleasure of attending the St. Louis Council of Construction Consumers (SLC3) St. Louis Council of Construction Consumers' Project Tour and Happy Hour, featuring the Kings Hill Historic Redevelopment by Third Man Development. Hany Abounader, the passionate owner, guided the event, and his excitement about this project was contagious as he shared the impressive design and structural details. Brian Stoesz, VP at PARIC Corporation, highlighted the challenges of retrofitting such an old structure, especially with the added complexities brought by the pandemic. HOK played a huge role in the architectural restoration, sustainability, and interior design, which is truly magazine-cover worthy, good job Jodie Crohn and Dave Yates! Brown & Crouppen Law Firm brought their signature quirky flair to the project—who can forget that Airstream RV right in the middle of the office space? The standout features, like the hanging steel staircase and who can forget those architectural windows from this early 1900s industrial building. What made the event even better was the post-tour networking session—one of the best I’ve attended! Huge thanks to Hany, PARIC Corporation, and HOK for sticking around for meaningful conversations. It’s always great when the drinks flow, but even better when the connections do too! Today: I attended MetroWire Media's forum on industrial development in our region. Dan Merlo of Intelica moderated a strong panel featuring experts like Ben Haas (EQT Exeter), Christy Wirth, SIOR, CCIM (Cushman & Wakefield), Stephen Davis, MBA (St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) ), Matt Sander (ARCO Murray Construction Company), and Matthew Hrubes (CBRE). The discussion touched on a slowdown in large industrial developments nationally, yet St. Louis continues to perform well. One key takeaway was the growing preference for larger industrial spaces and how tax incentives play a crucial role in attracting these projects. Mathew Hrubes emphasized the importance of cities providing the right incentives to secure quality developments. I couldn’t agree more with the need for public-private partnerships and, personally, I believe nonprofits have a role in ensuring these developments benefit local communities. Both events were insightful, well-attended, and added great value to our region’s growth. Thanks to Lisa J. Newberg, CPSM and all the organizers for always creating such welcoming atmosphere!
