Mall Turned Parking Garage - Checking Up on the St Louis Centre

- 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.
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..
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.
I worked for Macy's in 1977 for 5 year's I was a server Macy's Christmas time you could go to that place n Christmas shop good days
1:52 - That looks just like the terminal at Chicago O'Hare International Airport leading to concourses 'H' and 'K'. Stunning resemblance!
When i lived in St.Louis in 86-87 i was 21 and i used to go to the St louis centre all the time, it's so sad what has become of it, it was a very busy place on any day, man i miss it.
It’s such a shame to know that this was a thriving mall at one point, but now just a parking garage.
Really kinda makes you sad, thinking about how Downtown used to be filled with people shopping and having a good time and now its just ok! Peace!
I've already seen the same thing but in the other way : a parking garage converted into a mall !
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.
LittleRockElevators uapb was always in the gateway classic game
I loved that mall its sad to see that's all that is left
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.
Horrible mindless short-term thinking destruction. I remember it at it's glory on a work trip from Indiana University to St. Louis.
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.
There is a retail building in San Francisco near the opera house that had several floors converted to a garage.
that's a very strange transformation. how busy does it get?
I think I shopped there -- or mostly just spent time there while others shopped -- in the late Eighties. Nothing is too familiar...
WOW!!! !AMERICA IS GOING THROUGH HARD CORE CHANGES
