Construction on the first phase of Ballpark Village began in 2013 and opened the following year. The retail and entertainment development currently has 120,000 square feet of space, with restaurants including a Budweiser Brew House, Drunken Fish and Cardinals Nation.

On Wednesday, the Cardinals also released updated details about the second phase of Ballpark Village, which will have 550,000 square feet of space. The dollar amount of Ballpark Village’s second phase is larger than the previous estimate of $220 million. In addition to the hotel, the second phase will include a 29-story luxury high-rise apartment tower, the first Class-A office building built in downtown St. Louis in nearly 30 years, and about 50,000 square feet of space for additional retail and entertainment tenants.

The 120,000-square-foot Class A office tower will open in 2019 with the apartment building opening the following year.

“We’re excited about the different mix of uses we’re bringing to downtown,” DeWitt said. “To us, it’s about creating a sense of place and having the uses complement each other.”
