Architect’s Day at St. Louis Rotary

John Berglund, Managing Partner | The Starwood Group

The Development of the Square Building

About John Berglund:

I have lived in St. Louis my entire life; I grew up in Olivette but
have lived in the CWE for the past 31 years, renovating a 120
year-­‐old house. I have been married to my wife, Jenny
Reed, for 25 years and we have two kids, Jack and Chloe,
who are enrolled at SLUH and St. Roch’s grade school.
I believe that community is an important and integral aspect
to our family life and look for ways to give back when time
allows.
