4100 Laclede Ave

Converted from the 1911 Dorris Motor Car Company, this low-rise loft complex in Saint Louis’s Central West End combines industrial bones with residential renovations. Units vary from single-level flats to multi-story lofts with spiral staircases and open mezzanines; many feature 13–14-foot ceilings, large factory-style windows, exposed concrete or refinished hardwood floors, and custom millwork. Floor plans emphasize open living areas with integrated dining, kitchen islands or breakfast bars, formal foyers, walk-in closets, and in-unit laundry. Bathrooms range from updated spa-like suites with double vanities and soaking tubs to units retaining original finishes that need cosmetic attention. The property’s common areas are park-like: landscaped gardens, pergolas and gazebo, a clubhouse with wet bar and entertaining spaces, an inground pool and patio, grilling areas, and dedicated green space. Practical amenities include an elevator, heated and secured garage parking with storage lockers, secure lobby access, and on-site management. Pet policies and specific services vary by unit; garage parking spaces and additional storage are often deeded. Centrally located, the building sits within walking distance of Forest Park, BJC/Wash U medical campuses, Cortex, MetroLink, shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions, offering urban convenience with a residential courtyard oasis.
