ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. A plot of land that housed a once-sprawling, popular mall won’t be sitting empty for much longer, according to a plan by Dierbergs Markets, McBride Homes and the City of Crestwood.
The three made a joint announcement Tuesday regarding redeveloping the old Crestwood Mall site. The plan is to turn the 47 acres at Watson and Sappington roads into a mix of residential and business use.
“This is the most exciting piece of ground in the Crestwood area,” said John F. Eilermann Jr., CEO and chairman of McBride Homes.
The western part of the development will feature a 70,000 square foot Dierbergs grocery store, along with additional restaurants and retail businesses.
