Novus Companies is a St. Louis-based, locally-owned real estate development firm specializing in transforming ordinary locations into exceptional spaces. With a diverse real estate portfolio that includes Class-A retail, Class-A office, and high-end residential properties, Novus has successfully developed, owned, and managed over a million square feet of commercial space in the St. Louis region.
Founded in the 1950s to address real estate management needs for the Brown & Sons Foodliner chain, Novus has evolved significantly over the decades. Established as Novus Development in 1988, the firm undertakes larger-scale projects while respecting the unique architecture and culture of the communities in which it operates. This commitment to community involvement ensures that their developments breathe new life into neighborhoods, creating memorable destinations that enhance local character.
Novus employs a comprehensive approach to real estate development. Their in-house capabilities encompass land acquisition, building layout design, construction, leasing, and property management, enabling the firm to identify and capitalize on opportunities with agility. Unlike many developers who move on once a project is completed, Novus is dedicated to establishing permanent assets within its portfolio, which is reflected in their high standards for project delivery, property maintenance, and tenant service.
With a team of talented professionals boasting decades of industry experience, Novus thrives on its ability to see the potential in challenging commercial and residential projects. Their pride in ownership and commitment to high-quality real estate development resonate through every initiative, reinforcing their position as a pivotal player in the commercial real estate landscape of St. Louis and its surrounding areas.
