Touted by the New York Times as "Luxury Living in a HyperactiveBuilding", the Lofts at CITYMUSEUM are an extension of Creative Director and Founder Bob Cassilly's idea of a 'whole city in microcosm'. With the addition of residential space to the CITYMUSEUM, that vision of a mini-city, or a place where activity happens at all hours, has now become a reality. The lofts, which range from 1,300 to more than 2,800 square feet, are located on the fifth floor of the museum complex. This positioning affords inspiring views of the creative world outside the window, while still providing enough separation that residents feel a sense of privacy and exclusivity. Residents also have 24-hour access to the rooftop, a private oasis ideal for showing family and friends one of the best panoramic views of the city from atop the most creative environment in downtown St. Louis.
