Plans Revealed for Millennium Hotel Site in Downtown St. Louis

Based on a News Article written by Mike Miller on February 19, 2025 with St. Louis Magazine.

Upscale residential units, office space, public spaces, an amphitheater, a food hall, an event space, and a potential home for Gateway Arch National Park’s archives are among the proposed features.

The St. Louis skyline could soon change.

The Gateway Arch Park Foundation is planning a $670 million project to transform the site of the former Millennium Hotel into a major downtown destination. Preliminary designs call for the demolition of the current structure, which has stood vacant since 2014. It would be replaced with 1.3 million square feet of residential, office, commercial, cultural, and public spaces. Plans call for upscale housing, Class A office space, an amphitheater, a food hall, event space, and a potential home for Gateway Arch National Park’s archives.

The Gateway Arch Park Foundation, in partnership with Greater St. Louis, Inc. and the St. Louis Development Corporation, announced last September that it was under contract to purchase the site. On Wednesday, the foundation announced it has selected The Cordish Companies to lead the development.
