PR&S Has Moved Its Corporate Office To New Town

Pickett, Ray & Silver, Inc. has long been synonymous with St. Peters, Missouri. For over 39 years our corporate office was located in one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. This past July, we made the decision to move our corporate office to New Town St. Charles. As part of the development team, PR&S felt that this new urbanism community presented a wonderful opportunity to combine residential and commercial interaction. With our corporate office more centrally located, developers from all over the country visiting New Town find it easier to contact the developing team.

With strong ties to the St. Peters area we look forward to opportunity of also developing strong ties with the St. Charles community.
