OUR HISTORY

Wolff Properties is a family-owned business founded in 1937 by Mary R. Wolff and her husband, Dr. Samuel U. Wolff. Under its Founders’ direction, the Company began acquiring and managing high and mid-rise buildings in the City of St. Louis with a concentration in St. Louis’ Central West End owning, at one time, over 800 units.

Wolff Properties History
Wolff Properties

During the 1940s and 1950s, Wolff Properties acquired many of St. Louis’ most iconic apartment properties with a particular emphasis in the City’s Central West End. 

In 1960, Rita Wolff Eiseman, daughter of Dr. Samuel and Mary Wolff joined the Company. She worked first in a supportive role assisting her mother, eventually taking over Company leadership in 1968. During Rita’s tenure the Company disposed of all of it’s City properties and began transitioning investment to garden style apartment communities and office properties. 

Rita married Robert (Bob) Wolff in 1956 and despite the two divorcing in 1973, the joint decision was made to invest together and share offices in Clayton, Missouri. From their union, Steve and his sister Susan Moriconi were born. 

Bob had many outside business interests including serving as Co-Chief Executive of Gibraltar Saving and Loan Association from 1957-1986 and as Chairman of Fidelity Bank & Trust which he founded from 1971-1977. 

During Bob’s career he also invested in and managed commercial real estate, owning commercial office buildings, apartment communities, single tenant net leased retail properties and land. Bob was an active investor until his death in 2007.
