Clayco, which currently has multiple offices in Overland and Clayton, will move 580 St. Louis-based team members to a renovated facility located at 8640 Evans Avenue in Berkeley, Missouri. The 230,000-square-foot office in the NorthPark Development will accommodate space for more than 1,000 employees as the company expects to add at least 400 additional team members in the next few years.
By centralizing its Missouri offices and committing to significant new job creation, Clayco is demonstrating its long-term commitment to the state and local community. The move signifies the company’s dedication to attracting and retaining top talent in the St. Louis area and building on the positive trajectory for the region.
The Berkeley office will serve as the home for many of the company’s design-build construction functions, including operations, business unit leadership, architecture, process engineering, safety, IT, marketing, finance/accounting, and talent management. In addition, Concrete Strategies, Clayco Design & Engineering, and Consolidated Distribution Company will be headquartered in the new office. Other subsidiaries, such as CRG, and Ventana, will have a meaningful presence in the new office.

Site improvement
We achieved a 115% increase in green area, reaching a total area of 162,000 square feet for groundwater recharge, air quality improvement and providing zones for communal green spaces.
We incorporated 100% native vegetation for landscaping to enhance biodiversity and reduce maintenance.
We increased carbon sequestration to 525 tons over 50 years, which is equivalent to removing the CO2 emissions from approximately 114 cars annually.
Clayco Commits to the St. Louis Region with St. Louis Home Office
Our team chose adaptive reuse over new construction, significantly reducing our ecological footprint. This strategic decision led to a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions, akin to removing thousands of cars from the road and significantly minimizing other environmental impacts.
I would like to welcome Clayco to the City of Berkeley. We know that this relationship will be mutually beneficial for decades to come, and that Clayco will be an integral part of the revitalization of Berkeley. Together we will be a shining example of 'A Planned, Progressive, Community.'
– Mayor of Berkeley, Babatunde Deinbo
Welcome to the Neighborhood
A New Home, A Familiar Space
The existing building at 8640 Evans Avenue was developed, designed, and built by Clayco in 2012 and was occupied by Express Scripts until 2022.
LEEDing the Way
Clayco has always been at the forefront of green building practices, and this new office building will be no exception. While the company is in the business of building, it is important to repurpose an existing space to limit the impact on the environment through a reduction of embodied carbon. The dedication to environmental responsibility extends to the use of sustainable materials, construction/demolition waste recycling, the replacement of some hardscape and asphalt for green/communal spaces, increased alternative transportation measures with closer proximity to public transit and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and many other sustainability features that will be ongoing throughout operation of the building.
Clayco's commitment extends beyond the building itself to the surrounding ecosystem. The expansion of green spaces enhances carbon sequestration and improves water quality, demonstrating our dedication to environmental responsibility. Conveniently located with easy access to public transit and equipped with electric vehicle charging stations, our project stands as a testament to sustainable urban development. Our efforts seamlessly integrate our operations within the community, establishing new benchmarks for sustainable developments. This approach reimagines the synergy between functional workspaces and environmental sustainability, paving the way for a future where environmental stewardship and workplace efficiency coexist.
Skylight atrium additions illuminate the office on all floors, creating bright and healthy collaboration spaces with enhanced physical and visual connection across different workspaces.
The dynamic layout and a variety of amenities empower collaboration and promotes physical and mental well-being.
