Featuring one of the most elaborate brick facades in St. Louis, The Hoffman Brother’s building originally served as a produce market where Actress Betty Grable—the #1 pin-up girl of the 1940s and Hugh Hefner’s inspiration for Playboy magazine—worked before making it through Hollywood. The completely renovated mixed use building now stands at the corner of Lucas Ave and 2nd street retail district and holds 21 luxury apartments, second floor offices, and over 8,000sf of first floor entry retail space.
