Since the Downtown Development Action Plan was adopted in 1999, over $4.4 billion dollars have been invested in a remarkably diverse portfolio of projects throughout Downtown St. Louis. From dramatic streetscapes to major projects like the new Busch Stadium and a new Lumiere Place Pinnacle Casino to nearly a hundred historic building renovations that now house hotels, lofts, offices and retail, there is a new spirit in downtown St. Louis.

The Downtown Development Action Plan targeted the areas of Washington Ave, Post Office Square and the CBD, but now development is now expanding north, south and west to areas of downtown where new investment seemed inconceivable only a few short years ago. Districts and neighborhoods are evolving rapidly and bringing new businesses, residents and development opportunities throughout downtown.
Despite the high level of activity and growth, a wide variety of development opportunities are still available in Downtown St. Louis. The Partnership for Downtown St. Louis works closely with the Regional Commerce and Growth Association (RCGA), the City of St. Louis and the St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) to attract and support new investment in the downtown area and to create an exciting and attractive place to live, work and play.
