About
Lawrence R. Chapman
President
Chief Executive Officer
Larry Chapman is President and Chief Executive Officer of Seneca Commercial Real Estate and Chapman Ventures LLC. Also a licensed Missouri Real Estate Broker, Larry has devoted his entire 44 year career to real estate development, both in his adopted hometown of St. Louis, Missouri and throughout the United States.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Larry’s family eventually settled in St. Louis where Larry graduated from high school before attending the University of Missouri-Columbia where he earned a B.S.B.A. in Finance and Economics. Upon graduation, he accepted a position in St. Louis with Linclay Corporation and helped lead that organization to significant achievements. As Director of Development for St. Louis operations, he developed over 900,000 SF of commercial, office, retail, and business park projects exceeding $100 million in value. Later, with his own firm, Chapman Ventures, he independently engaged in the development of a Business Park and 5 design build and speculative buildings.
After working with Dale Perkinson of Linclay until his retirement, Larry went on to join TRiSTAR Business Communities in 1998, which quickly became one of St. Louis’ most successful development companies. In 2004, he left TRiST AR to pursue independent ventures, but continues to partner with TRiSTAR to this day.
In 2005, he joined Clayco Realty Group,(now CRG), along with Bob Clark and Tom Schroyer to expand the full-service development capabilities of Clayco. In his 5 years with Clayco, development projects included more than $1 billion in value and over 12 million square feet of buildings. Since then, using strategic partnerships, he continues to develop commercial real estate, including recent projects like the 19 story Gateway Plaza in Richmond Virginia, the 780,000 SF North American HQ for Zurich American Insurance Company, the already iconic Centene Headquarters, the transformative North Park Business Park, along with munerous industrial logistic centers for e-commerce. Most recently, Chapman has focused on St. Louis based developments and community projects, such as the EDGE@West office, EDGE@BRDG, Headquarters for Benson Hill, and community based projects such as 9 Mile Garden, Frankie Martin Garden and Fresh Harvest 365, as well as some important renovation projects, including Delmar Divine and 201 Evans in Cool Valley.
Chapman Ventures, LLC holds a portfolio of commercial real estate properties and provides real estate brokerage services related to new development. In 2019, he formed Seneca Commercial Real Estate, a new company that will focus on new commercial and mixed-use developments primarily located in the St. Louis region. Larry is a past President of the Missouri Growth Association, and the founding President of the Earth City and Riverport Levee Districts. He has contributed time to the Webster Groves and Bridgeton TIF Commissions, and the Advisory Boards of several banks. He has also served for many years on the Development Council of Habitat for Humanity St. Louis.
