Crestwood Crossing- 1 Crestwood Plaza
Crestwood Crossing - Dierbergs and McBride Homes have been approved to rezone the 47-acre site of the former Crestwood Plaza mall to "PD-MXD" Planned Development- Mixed Use District in order to construct a mixed-use commercial and residential development. The redevelopment plan includes a commercial shopping center with restaurants, retail, and services, anchored by a Dierbergs Market, and a new subdivision of eighty-one (81) single family dwellings by McBride Homes.
At this stage, the City of Crestwood has approved the rezoning, Preliminary Development Plans, and Final Development Plans for the Dierbergs shopping center at the center of the site and the new neighborhood of homes to be built on the northeastern portion of the site. A Development Agreement outlining the terms of Tax Increment Financing was approved by the Board of Aldermen in November 2021.
The City of Crestwood has reviewed and approved zoning code compliance and fire code compliance on the construction drawings submitted with the building permit application for the central shopping center. The building permit application and construction drawings have been reviewed for building code compliance with the St. Louis County Department of Public Works. A grading permit to begin site work has been issued and the applicant has begun preliminary site work.
A formal Groundbreaking Ceremony to launch construction of the first phase of the development will be held on Tuesday, April 19th.
