Located next door to the nationally historic Old Courthouse (made famous as the location of the 19th century Dred Scott trials)and the internationally recognized Gateway Arch National Park (the Arch was designed in the 20th century by Eero Saarinen), 100 North Broadway is in dialogue with impressive company. The owner, Larson Capital Management, engaged Arbolope to redesign the building’s surrounding plazas and streetscape, comprehensively updating and repositioning the Broadway Tower as a premier office building destination in downtown Saint Louis.

Featuring a new grand staircase that transports visitors from the street to the building entrance, as well as a gently sloping walk beneath multi-stem river birch trees, the landscape evokes the experience of walking along the Mississippi River, which forms the easternmost boundary of the City and Arch grounds.

The landscape design also incorporates sub-grade utility ports by scrimming the port covers in seedum mats, allowing them to blend in with the surrounding native plantings.

Building architectural partner Trivers mirrored site improvements with a complete redesign of the building envelope and interior atrium. The overall result is an open and generous office arrival experience that highlights contextual connections and visually connects people to adjacent cultural landscapes.
