Developers Join for $190M Mixed-Use Plan

CLAYTON, MO-Despite grass-roots opposition, the $190-million, 600,000-sf Centene Plaza is moving forward.

CLAYTON, MO-US Equities Realty and Clayco Realty Group have been selected to develop Centene Plaza, the $190-million, mixed-use urban center that will serve as the national headquarters for Centene Corp.

“Our shared vision for Centene Plaza is that it will take its place among the area’s most dynamic places to work, shop and dine,” says Robert A. Wislow, chairman of US Equities. “We expect Centene Plaza to become a hub of activity for workers and residents.”

The 600,000-sf development has had its share of hurdles getting to this point. In 2005, the City of Clayton for the first time approved $10 million in long-term tax abatement and the power of eminent domain when approving Centene’s development application. Centene, a provider of Medicaid-based programs and services, pursued legal remedies in addition to negotiating with five property owners along the property who refused to sell.
