Hamilton Zanze, a San Francisco-based real estate investment firm and new owner of Soulard Icehouse and Steelyard Apartments, has named Mission Rock Residential as the new property manager of the two communities --now jointly operating as Steelyard Apartments.
“Steelyard and IceHouse provided an attractive opportunity to buy a new property in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Soulard. The property features a robust amenities package, prime location near downtown St. Louis and offers residents the quality of life provided by the city’s energetic urban core," said David Nelson, Hamilton Zanze’s managing director of acquisitions.
Developed by Lux Living, the now combined Class-A, mid-rise community offers a mix of luxury studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 784 SF in size. Amenities include, Nest thermostats, keyless entry locks and package delivery lockers.
Shared community amenities include a rooftop deck, a saltwater pool with sun deck, a pet park and spa, a karaoke lounge, two state-of-the-art fitness centers and more - all located in close proximity to the Mississippi River, providing views of the river and the famed Gateway Arch.
“By combining these two apartment communities under one consistent name, Mission Rock hopes to establish cohesiveness and a strong sense of community with its residents between the two buildings. The impressive amenities and historic roots make us confident that current and future residents will continue to experience tremendous benefits in this already-desirable neighborhood in St. Louis," said Patricia Hutchison, president of Mission Rock Residential.
