ST. LOUIS — St. Louis-based nonprofit Gateway Arch Park Foundation has selected The Cordish Companies to redevelop the Millennium Hotel property, located at 200 S. 4th St. adjacent to the St. Louis Gateway Arch. The downtown site has stood vacant since 2014. In November 2024, the foundation issued a request for development proposals, just months after it announced that it was under contract to purchase the Millennium Hotel site. The request for proposals (RFP) allowed for either adaptive reuse of the structures on the property or demolition of the existing buildings. The three qualified responses to the RFP all called for demolition. Cordish’s nearly $670 million preliminary plan integrates 1.3 million square feet of residential, office, commercial, cultural and public spaces. Key proposed elements include upscale residential, Class A office space, public spaces, an amphitheater, food hall, event space, a potential home for Gateway Arch National Park’s archives, enhanced streetscapes, pedestrian-friendly spaces, landscaping and art installations. The redevelopment plan is scheduled for review during the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority board meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

PLANO, TEXAS — Dallas-based Centennial has unveiled new and revised redevelopment plans for The Shops at Willow Bend, a 1.4 million-square-foot regional mall in Plano, to include townhomes-style attached residences and detached single-family homes. Centennial, which initially acquired the property in 2022 in partnership with Cawley Partners, had previously unveiled plans to convert the enclosed center to a mixed-use property called The Bend. Centennial’s late-2024 acquisition of the Macy’s building at the center — following the retailer’s announcement that the store would be closing — has enabled the inclusion of additional uses, according to the company. Under the plans, a portion of the enclosed mall’s footprint will be demolished to make room for multifamily housing options, a hotel, neighborhood dog park and green spaces for community activities. The Bend will also continue to offer residents and visitors a mix of retail, dining, fitness, and entertainment options. The Plano City Council must still approve the project, although the Plano Planning & Zoning Committee has already signed off on the updated plans. Construction is expected to begin later this year pending city council approval.
