KBS Realty Advisors has signed Harbour Group to a 24,000-square-foot lease at Pierre Laclede Center, a two-building, Class A office complex in Clayton, Mo.
The space is part of the KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II investment portfolio.
“Pierre Laclede Center has proven to be an optimal location for tenants like Harbour Group,” Dan Park, KBS’ senior vice president & asset manager for the property, said in a prepared statement. “Harbour Group has been a tenant in the Pierre Laclede Center for over 30 years, and we’re pleased to continue our relationship with them.”

In January, KBS REIT II signed two leases totaling 62,729 square feet at the Pierre Laclede Center. The Saint Louis Club, an existing tenant, renewed its lease and will continue to operate its private business and dining club across 47,572 square feet on the top three floors in the smaller of the two buildings. KBS also signed a lease with the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, which will now occupy 15,190 square feet of office space within the larger of the two buildings.
Situated on 5.1 acres, PLC I and PLC II represent 579,846 square feet of rentable space. The smaller of the two buildings, PLC I offers 217,957 square feet on 16 floors. The larger, 24-story PLC II features 361,889 square feet of space.
Amenity-rich properties
