Regionally Connected, Locally Woven
Foot Traffic Not Freeways
Designed at a human scale, large 4'x8' pathways in the main square create a 12-foot-wide space so retail spaces flow seamlessly from outdoors to in.
Built to Breathe
Over 25% of the site is dedicated to public plazas, parks, rain gardens, trails, —totaling nine acres of green space that cool the environment & elevate the experience.
Designed for What's Next
Built with intention that looks beyond steel & stone. Downtown is rooted in today's priorities & will grow into how communities will thrive tomorrow.

President, The Staenberg Group
“It’s a regional play. This isn’t trying to steal people from Downtown or taking people from Clayton. Let’s bring more people here and allow the big cooperations to see we have something. Because if they see something like this, they’re going to say ‘Maybe we want to move our headquarters here."
Within 22 minutes of downtown Chesterfield, there’s over a million people that can get there.
