Info
Saint Louis Ballpark Village (BPV) is a $650 million district adjacent to Busch Stadium where the St. Louis Cardinals play in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, occupying the site of the previous Busch Stadium. Situated on the 200 and 300 blocks of Clark Street across from Busch Stadium, it covers 10 acres and 7 city blocks consisting of 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) of retail shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, 400 residential units, 450,000 square feet (42,000 m2) of office space, and 2,000 parking spaces. As BPV's name and locale suggest, it is designed to be an extension of Busch Stadium and an innovative approach to creating a neighborhood – hearkening to Chicago's own Wrigleyville district next to Wrigley Field – and vitalize downtown St. Louis' economic potential. The project is envisioned as a year-round boon instead of only on the 81 days of Cardinals home games, make the region more of a focal point in the Midwest, and enhance the ballpark goers' experience.Although delays prevented the project's commencement for several years, the first main phase of construction was completed in time for Opening Day of the 2014 Major League Baseball season. The Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum and Cardinals Nation Restaurant, Fox Sports Midwest Live! Restaurant, the Budweiser Brew House, and PBR St. Louis all comprised the first phase. More phases of development are expected in the future, with plans to be announced. The primary developer is the Cordish Company of Baltimore, Maryland.
