Construction of an office building, renovation of another and addition of a parking garage comprise the latest expansion project at the Edward Jones campus in Maryland Heights.
The projects by the financial services firm represent the next major growth at the campus since the opening in 2009 of an office building that includes space to train new brokers.
The Maryland Heights Planning Commission considered the latest expansion plan this week. Michael Zeek, the city planner, said commissioners agreed with the plan “in concept” but requested more information. The plan requires a zoning change that could gain city approval in May.
Also in May, Edward Jones plans an event to mark completion of the $40 million renovation of what had been its headquarters from 1972 to 1994, at 201 Progress Parkway.
