This project is going to cost the St. Louis Cardinals 220 million dollars. The second phase includes a 29-story apartment complex that will have a view of the field. The second phase will also include restaurants and office buildings as well as entertainment spaces.
In all, the city of St. Louis expects this second phase to create 1,000 jobs to fill the offices. There will also be an estimated 1,500 construction jobs required to create this 500,000 square foot area. Officials stand behind this project, believing it will be very beneficial once completed.
To help fund phase two, the team has asked the city to change a key item in the development agreement.
