As AgTech advances, the facilities behind the science have to advance with it.

Today’s AgTech research requires increasingly sophisticated environments — where specialized systems, precise environmental controls and day-to-day operations all have to work together.

While every facility is unique, the process for delivering one doesn’t have to start from scratch.

At Blackline, we bring architecture, construction, technical expertise and operational planning together early, creating a proven approach that can be adapted across projects, research needs and markets.

As AgTech companies scale and expand, that kind of coordination can help reduce risk, anticipate challenges and create facilities designed to perform for the long term.

We explore what that means for the next generation of high-performance facilities in our recent St. Louis Business Journal article.

Every project tells a story — and The TenLo is helping write the next chapter for downtown St. Louis.

What was once the historic Farm & Home Savings and Loan Association Building is steadily being transformed into a vibrant mixed-use community featuring 60 apartments and 8,400 square feet of retail space.

At Blackline, we believe historic preservation and community development go hand in hand. By restoring this 1905 landmark, we're creating new housing, supporting downtown growth, and preserving a piece of St. Louis history for future generations.

Our latest article, published by the St. Louis Business Journal, explores why these projects require a different approach — one that brings architecture, construction, and operational planning together from the very beginning.

At Blackline, we're proud to help clients create high-performance environments designed for long-term success.

We’re proud to share that The Koken on Ohio received a 2026 Most Enhanced Award from Landmarks Association of Saint Louis.

A building can tell a story — and some stories are worth preserving.

We’re proud to see construction underway at the George Washington Carver House and grateful to have played a role in helping restore a space that has served generations of St. Louis families and communities.

Historic buildings aren’t just about preserving the past — they’re about creating spaces that continue making an impact for years to come.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this important project back to life.

At Blackline, we believe the future of plant science innovation depends on more than just great ideas — it requires the right infrastructure to bring those ideas to life.

That’s why we’re proud to be involved in the STL Greenhouse Initiative, an effort focused on expanding access to research-grade greenhouse space in St. Louis — a critical gap in one of the world’s leading AgTech ecosystems.

Through this initiative, shared greenhouse infrastructure will help companies move faster from research to real-world application — supporting innovation, strengthening the workforce pipeline, and driving long-term economic growth in the region.

Blackline Co-Founder Mark Groenda is actively engaged in this effort, helping advance conversations around how thoughtful design, development, and construction can support the next generation of controlled environment facilities.

As we continue our work in controlled environments and plant science, we’re proud to support initiatives that are shaping the future of this industry — right here in St. Louis.

We’re proud to continue our work with Clementine's Naughty & Nice Creamery on the opening of their newest location in Bentonville.

From St. Louis to Northwest Arkansas, it’s been exciting to support their growth as they bring their unique, small-batch (and boozy) flavors to new communities.

This project is a great example of how thoughtful design and construction can help translate a strong brand experience into a new market — while staying true to what makes it special.

Congratulations to the Clementine’s team on the Bentonville opening.
