CRESTWOOD, Mo. (KMOX) - The City of Crestwood announced that the 47-acres formerly home to the Crestwood Mall is being developed by Dierbergs Markets, McBride Homes, and the city.
“This is the most exciting piece of ground in the Crestwood area,” said John F. Eilermann Jr., CEO and Chairman of McBride Homes. “This tract of land has a long history and is very wellknown in the metro area, and now we are thrilled to be a part of such an exciting joint development with Dierbergs.”
The site will become the location of a new 70,000 square-foot grocery store with additional restaurant and retails space, and 81 new single family homes.

“The City is thrilled to have two partners who have a robust and comprehensive plan for the site,” said Mayor Grant Mabie. “Dierbergs and McBride are two of the top private companies in St. Louis with long track records of successful developments, and we look forward to working with them to turn their plans into a completed project.
“One of our main goals in this project is to support existing Crestwood retail and local franchises. This is a prime Crestwood location and with the pent-up demand for new housing options and shopping in the area, this is a wonderful opportunity for local residents.”

The mall was demolished in 2017 and has laid basically untouched for years. It has made some residents nervous thinking it would be a pile of dirt forever.
"Something would be better than nothing," said Amy Butz who lives on a street where the back windows of homes face the vacant site. "When the leaves aren't there I just see dirt and emptiness. I think for me there's a little bit of anxiety as to how this is going to affect our property values."
