"The view in this rendering looks northwest from the intersection of Broadway and Pine into the Broadway front entrance of the planned Metropolitan Square development in downtown St. Louis. Plans for the luxury office tower were announced today by the developer, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. To encourage pedestrian traffic, a covered arcade will encircle the building's exterior, while a pedestrian plaza will front the length of the building along Broadway with seating areas and changing displays of flowers. The granite base will totally conceal approximately 1,000 parking spaces on seven levels, four of which will "wrap" around the lobby."
