Respectful Development
For Our History, Our Community, and Our Neighbors

Jack Matthews – St. Louis Real Estate Development

Specializing in Adaptive Reuse and New Construction Projects

A city’s vacant properties and blighted lots aren’t simply relics of a more thriving time – they’re the building blocks for an exciting revitalization that will enrich the quality of life for its residents.

As re-urbanism advocates focused on St. Louis and the Metro East, Jack Matthews develops remarkable spaces that reignite a sense of community. We strive to be the best neighbors possible by intentionally tailoring each unique destination to the area’s culture, history, and natural environment and opening the doors to economic growth.
