St. Louis, MO (December 4, 2019) – The St. Louis Cardinals and The Cordish Companies celebrated a major construction milestone today of the $260 million expansion of Ballpark Village with the Topping Out of the 29-story One Cardinal Way luxury residential tower.  Executives from the St. Louis Cardinals and The Cordish Companies were joined today by distinguished guests from the City, community and business leaders, executives and team members from PARIC Corporation, and lead project architect Hord Coplan Macht to celebrate this exciting milestone.

“We’re inching closer to the many ribbon cuttings that will be part of the Ballpark Village phase II rollout in the next few months,” said Bill DeWitt III, Team President, St. Louis Cardinals.  “And we’re very appreciative of the hard work PARIC’s team has put in to get us to this major milestone for the One Cardinal Way residential tower.”

This will be the concept’s fifth location.

“As lifelong Cardinals fans, we are thrilled to be a part of Ballpark Village and the energy and momentum driving downtown St. Louis’ success. Perhaps nothing defines St. Louis better than BBQ and Baseball,” owner Tom Schmidt said about the new location. “Being able to bring those two institutions together is a St. Louis kid’s dream come true.”

One Cardinal Way is part of a dynamic plan to transform Ballpark Village into a vibrant, 24/7 urban neighborhood, adding 700,000 square feet of dining, entertainment, hotel, residential, retail and lifestyle amenities to downtown St. Louis.
