The St. Louis Chapter of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) will get an in-depth look at the massive City Foundry STL, including its infrastructure.

Members and guests will hear from Rob Soete, general manager of the development, as well as from representatives at the Lawrence Group.

The $200 million first phase now boasts its centerpiece food hall, as well as retail, entertainment and office space. Attendees will hear about the impact of COVID and how the owners are moving forward to meet the challenges and opportunities. Additionally, speakers will address the facility’s construction and maintenance. A walking tour will provide a detailed look at the project, along with a behind-the-scenes view of its systems and infrastructure.
