What was once a large,
vacant and open field with absolutely no trees is now a 160-acre
shopping center with fountains, flowers and vegetatio n.
A water detention pond in the rear is planted to retain the wildlife
that fed in the open fields prior to construction.
There are now 1,384 trees, 3,364 shrubs, 13,491 perennials and 3,984
annuals throughout the development. All fifteen outlots are required to
adhere to strict landscape requirements, adding to the heavy landscaping
found throughout this development. Strategic landscaping is placed to
provide shade, direct pedestrian and vehicular traffic and enhance the
shopping experience for all who visit. |

The ornamental fountains are located in two areas which serve as
trailheads for the many bicycle enthusiasts that frequent the area,
allowing them to rest, get their feet wet, etc. The fountains, designed
by TRi, create a splashing noise to mask the nearby traffic on Highway
40.Currently, 730,000 square feet of retail space has been developed
with expansions to both the east and the west planned. The expansions
will add three more trailhead/fountains.
This project recently won the City of Chesterfield's Beautification
Award in the commercial development category. |
