(St. Louis Business Journal) Danforth Center Recognized as Key Asset in St. Louis Agtech Growth

A recent St. Louis Business Journal article highlights St. Louis agtech growth through the transformation of EDGE@BRDG, a former single-tenant facility in the 39 North AgTech Innovation District, into a nearly fully occupied hub for agricultural technology companies. The building now houses Pivot Bio, Ostara, NewLeaf Symbiotics, and the 39 North Collaboration Hub, demonstrating the district's continued appeal to companies establishing or expanding operations in the region.

The article also highlights the Danforth Center's role in attracting companies to St. Louis, citing its research expertise and specialized greenhouse facilities as important regional assets. “No other city has a Danforth Plant Science Center, and no other city has Bayer adjacent to a plant science center,” said Rob Goltermann, CEO of LCG Capital. “It’s a tremendous opportunity to go after nationwide companies and recruit them."
