Remember this place? It's not often that a mall (or any building, for that matter) gets turned into a parking garage. But that's exactly what happened to the former St. Louis Centre a few years ago. Defunct since 2006, the developer that renovated this former enclosed downtown shopping mall only kept the street-level shops as retail. With the exception of a movie theater that extends into part of the 2nd floor, they converted the rest of the structure into parking. It's almost surreal inside.

It's awesome that this mall was converted instead of being demolished completely. At least the structure still stands.

I never thought about it, but NetCenter which used to be Newmarket Fair Mall in Hampton, Virginia (somehow Sears is still open I don't know why) was once a shopping mall turned into an office complex. The glass elevator in the middle still works.

It’s such a shame to know that this was a thriving mall at one point, but now just a parking garage.

As a portrait photographer, I love photographing in the garage!

The whole downtown mall for a city like St Louis was ill conceived. Downtown has lost so much of its clout as a business center. Corporations are fleeing. The only activity is sports events, a few conventions, yuppies along Washington Ave. Violent crime happens daily. Really sad..

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="112">1:52</a> - That looks just like the terminal at Chicago O'Hare International Airport leading to concourses 'H' and 'K'. Stunning resemblance!

I always wanted to go to then mall when I came to St. Louis during Gateway Classic. Weird to convert a mall into a parking garage.

I've already seen the same thing but in the other way : a parking garage converted into a mall !

@clareecedarius 3 года назад

I remember parking here and getting stuck on the other side of the bridge (on 4). I think the KONE’s are a bit glitchy now.

There is a retail building in San Francisco near the opera house that had several floors converted to a garage.

I remember when this mall opened. High end retailers like Abercrombie & Fitch. The mall was a big hit for about 3 months. Then people realized they could all the same stuff at the suburb malls without the hassle of crime ridden downtown riff raff. People were murdered walking to their cars.
