Property Description

A rare commercial partnership opportunity inside one of St. Louis’s most distinctive properties: Songa Studios St. Louis, in the historic Fleur-de-Lys mansion in Compton Heights. We are assembling a small group of commercial partners to operate and grow a one-of-a-kind cultural venue and event destination. Ideal partners include: — Wedding & event planning businesses with an established book of business for weddings, corporate events, and private functions. — Catering operations ready to anchor a premier event venue. — Real estate development partners — architects, builders, developers — to help build an artist-in-residence compound in the backyard. — A wellness partner to manage the lower level, with plans for an upscale musical wellness center in the spirit of Palm Health, weaving live music into the wellness experience. We lean toward partners who, beyond their professional craft, practice a creative art of their own — music, film, painting, or the wellness arts. The entire property is linked in real time — wireless microphones and cameras, full two-way audio and video across all three levels — operating as a live television studio where music is improvised with the audience, not performed at it, featuring top St. Louis musicians of all ages alongside the city’s cultural patrons. True creators create for silence, not applause. Artists art for that feeling, that silence. Have you ever felt that silence — that wonder, awe, and grace, when artistic beauty quiets the room? We call that feeling Songa. When you invite true artists into your life, pay them well and let go of creative control, they will make your life everything you hoped for — and nothing you could have dreamed. We are lighting a fire to call St. Louis talent home from LA, Broadway, Nashville, Miami, Austin, Denver, and Boulder. The mansion offers eight bedrooms, seven baths, gracious formal entertaining spaces, two full culinary kitchens, a two-room live studio with isolated drum booth and Whisper Room™ vocal booth, and a private garden setting with patios, fountains, and a detached two-car garage — flexibility for income-producing hospitality, retreats, wellness, and creative events. A chance to help build a cultural institution to rival the City Museum.
