A Unique Location

Shock City Studios is located in the Polar Wave Ice & Fuel Building, a former ice manufacturing and storage plant in the historic Benton Park neighborhood of St. Louis, MO. The plant was built in 1927, then fell into disrepair and partial collapse in the late 1940s after the plant ended operations.

In 2009, Shock City Studios led the way in the building’s extensive renovation and restoration under the leadership of Operations Manager Doug Firley. These efforts ensured that the building’s St. Louis wire-cut brick exterior and warehouse windows retained its original character, while its industrial looking interior spaces and high-capacity utilities are suitable for modern needs. After completion, Shock City became the cornerstone tenant of the Polar Wave Ice & Fuel Building, sharing it with a restaurant, offices, an aerial arts studio and loft-style townhouses. As a result of the redevelopment work, Shock City Studios has been honored with architectural design recognitions including Mix Magazine’s “Class of 2009 Studio Design Award,” a Keystone Award for “Construction Excellence” and a “Creative Renovation” award from Construction News and Review.

“My stay was comfortable and I felt quite relaxed to create and get my ideas out. I’d recommend this studio hands down.”
