ST. LOUIS (April 2, 2026) – Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate (“HCRE”), the real estate arm of Hoffmann Family of Companies ("HF Companies"), has expanded its presence in Greater St. Louis with the acquisition of a prominent retail property in downtown Clayton, located at 1 N Central Avenue.
“We’re excited to add 1 N Central to our expanding St. Louis portfolio,” said Greg Hoffmann, CEO of Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate. “This acquisition aligns perfectly with our investment strategy, combining a premier location with strong market fundamentals. It presented a compelling opportunity for our team, and we remain focused on identifying additional investments throughout the surrounding market.”
HCRE maintains a strong footprint across the St. Louis metropolitan area and throughout Missouri, with more than 30 properties statewide. The acquisition of 1 N Central brings together prime location and strong tenancy, supported by long-term leases and favorable market fundamentals.
In 2024, HCRE acquired Pierre Laclede Center, further solidifying its role as a premier business hub in Clayton. In Summer 2025, the firm welcomed Missouri Athletic Club (“MAC”) as one of the building’s newest tenants—a strategic milestone for MAC and a testament to Pierre Laclede Center’s position as a leading destination in the St. Louis business community.
HCRE continues to build momentum with a diverse portfolio of stabilized and value‑add assets in premier markets. Its holdings span California, Canada, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.
