One Metropolitan Square, Saint Louis

One Metropolitan Square, Saint Louis

One Metropolitan Square, or Met Square, is a prominent office building situated in downtown St. Louis. It was completed in 1989 and is the tallest building in the city at a height of 180.7 meters (593 feet). The building was designed by the renowned architecture firm Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, which is also one of the major tenants of the building.

One Metropolitan Square is the second tallest building in Missouri, surpassed only by One Kansas City Place in Kansas City by a mere 31 feet. The building has become an iconic symbol of St. Louis' skyline, and its sleek and modern design is a testament to the city's commitment to progress and innovation.

The building has several notable tenants, including the Bryan Cave law firm, the Evans & Dixon law firm, the Brown & Crouppen law firm, and the Better Business Bureau. These firms are some of the largest and most respected in the region and have contributed to the building's reputation as a hub for business and commerce in St. Louis.

Despite its impressive stature and cutting-edge design, Met Square was not immune to unexpected incidents. In early May 2014, a DJI Phantom quadcopter drone crashed into the building, causing some damage.
