Fifth Third Bank to Open in the Syndicate Building
Jun 22nd
The following is from a Post-Dispatch article by Tim Bryant on June 22, 2011:
Workers are putting up walls for a Fifth Third Bank branch scheduled to open in about four months in 3,900 square feet of ground-floor space at the Syndicate Trust building downtown.
Most of the 16-story building in the 900 block of Olive Street has been redone as condos and apartments. And most of them are occupied. But the ground-floor space has struggled to attract tenants. So far, the only open business is a Clarkson Eyecare outlet.
Fifth Third is taking the corner space just west of Clarkson. John Shuff, a broker at NAI Desco, said today the bank has signed a 10-year lease. More tenants may be coming to the building soon, Shuff added.
Potential tenants include a restaurant, a clothing retailer and perhaps office users, he said. Shuff noted that the 14,000 square feet of ground-floor space remaining is too small to accommodate all the potential tenants.
“We’re trying to put as many irons in the fire as possible,” he said.
