The long-vacant Millennium Hotel site in downtown St. Louis is set for a $670 million redevelopment led by The Cordish Companies, the developer behind Ballpark Village. The Gateway Arch Park Foundation has selected the firm to transform the property at 200 S. 4th St., adjacent to the Gateway Arch.
The 1.3 million SF project will include a mix of residential, office, retail, and public spaces aimed at revitalizing the area. Plans call for a 41-story residential tower with 600 apartments, a 10-story office building with 250,000 SF of Class A office space, a 35,000 SF food hall, and a 60,000 SF Arch archive. Additional features include an amphitheater and improved streetscapes designed to enhance pedestrian connectivity between key downtown landmarks, including the Gateway Arch grounds, Kiener Plaza, and Busch Stadium.
The site has remained vacant since the Millennium Hotel closed in 2014. Its redevelopment is expected to inject new energy into downtown St. Louis, spurring economic growth and reinforcing the city's position as a business and entertainment hub.
The project has received initial authorization from the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority, allowing the Gateway Arch Park Foundation to acquire the property from its current owners. A construction timeline has not yet been determined, but the redevelopment plan is expected to go before the Board of Aldermen in April for review and approval.
Cordish's involvement further solidifies its investment in St. Louis, expanding on its previous work with Ballpark Village. The project is expected to serve as a catalyst for additional development efforts downtown, marking a new chapter in the city's ongoing revitalization.
