A 100-foot A-frame roof truss was lowered into place Tuesday, capping off an important part of the first phase of construction at Ballpark Village.
The $100 million first phase is part of the $650 million Ballpark Village project. The tenants confirmed so far include: an Anheuser-Busch Brewhouse, a 20,000-square-foot space for a restaurant and beer garden; Cardinals Nation, a 30,000-square-foot space for a hall of fame museum, bar and restaurant; and an 8,000-square-foot cowboy bar, PBR St. Louis.
About 15,000 square feet of space is still available.
“We’ve had a lot of people on the national scale interested in this project and interested in St. Louis,” said Chase Martin, development director of Ballpark Village for developer Cordish Cos. Martin wouldn’t disclose the names of those potential tenants, or the type of tenants interested.
Martin is working with various location organizations to woo tenants for future phases of the project. They include the Partnership For Downtown St. Louis, St. Louis Regional Chamber and local real estate agents.
Martin said the 620 parking spaces now blanketing a good portion of the site are temporary. He said infrastructure underneath the parking lot, including plumbing, is ready for new buildings.
The first phase of Ballpark Village is expected to be completed by Opening Day 2014.
