Centene Leases Timberlake Corporate Center

ST. LOUIS—The office market in this region’s western suburbs has tightened considerably, and Centene Corp. just became the latest local firm to help push down the vacancy rate further. The provider of health plans through Medicaid, Medicare and the health insurance marketplace has decided to lease all 117,618 square feet at Timberlake Corporate Center II in suburban Chesterfield from Franklin Street Properties Corp.

“This represents pure growth for Centene in St. Louis,” DTZ executive managing director Jim Mosby tells GlobeSt.com. Wakefield, MA-based Franklin Street was represented by Mosby, associate D.J. Fuchs and associate Danielle Grubbs. DTZ executive managing director Scott Bazoian represented the tenant.
