Raineri Completes Downtown Urgent Care

Raineri Construction has completed a $2 million renovation project for Downtown Urgent Care at 916 Olive  Street in St. Louis.

The first-of-its-kind, 2,600-square-foot clinic hosts six exam rooms, a lab and a digital x-ray machine. There are four physicians on staff.   It is serving the estimated 12,000 people who reside in downtown St.   Louis and the additional 95,000 individuals who commute downtown to work.

Raineri’s project spanned all four floors and the basement of the nearly 30,000-square-foot former Truman Office Building purchased by Dr. Sonny Saggar in 2008.  With an entry pressed against a public walkway and exposed steel interior columns, the clinic has a decidedly urban feel. The waiting room features hardwood floors and a mural of the St. Louis skyline.

In addition to gut renovation work, Raineri created a 2,100-square-foot mezzanine out of the building’s original high-ceiling lobby. The mezzanine will be used for future expansion as Saggar works to add dentists, therapists and other specialists to his staff.

Raineri Construction, certified by the St. Louis Airport Authority as a Woman Business Enterprise, was founded in 2003 by Ashley Raineri. The firm focuses on turn-key design/build prime contracting and specialized subcontracting in the multifamily residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
