Our successful track record of purchasing and developing raw land directly benefits our clients in the acquisition and disposition of land.
With the numerous municipalities in St. Louis, purchasing and entitling land can be complex. Issues including zoning, ordinances, utilities, right-of-ways, traffic counts, etc. all play a part in the value and marketability of a piece of property. Few St. Louis based firms (if any) have successfully navigated through and created as much value as Balke Brown Associates. Understanding what a site can eventually become and then either communicating or executing on that vision is what we do best.
We leverage our extensive local market knowledge (30 plus years) on behalf of our clients. By aggressively taking advantage of market conditions our client’s reduce the risk that all corporations take when they make long or short term space commitments.
From new leases to renewals, expansions, subleases or renegotiations, Balke Brown Associates will become an extension of your company at no expense to your firm.

Occupancy, occupancy, occupancy.
Although occupancy is only one aspect of our listing assignment, it is typically the most critical component in creating value for our building owners.
Our value creation strategies are based on our local market knowledge and strict local focus. In St. Louis, the vast majority of leasing that takes place is from tenants that currently occupy space in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. Understanding who those tenants are, when their lease expires, and who the local decision makers are (and yes, where do they live) are all critical pieces of information to successfully complete lease transactions.
