The Cordish Cos. has been selected to execute a nearly $670 million redevelopment of the long-vacant Millennium Hotel, the nonprofit Gateway Arch Park Foundation announced Wednesday morning.

The developer plans to build 1.3 million square feet that combine residential, office, commercial and public spaces together. It’s proposed to include upscale residential, Class A office space, an amphitheater, a food hall, an improved streetscape and other amenities.

“This does provide a once-in-a-generation moment for us to reimagine this iconic landscape of the front door of St. Louis,” said Ballpark Village President Mike LaMartina, who also oversees the St. Louis market for the Cordish Cos. “It [is] a unique opportunity to not only create the best views of our entire city, but a mixed use [development] that acknowledges living, working, leisure, public space all in one site.”
