From Ballpark Digest: The St. Louis Cardinals and The Cordish Companies celebrated a milestone in their $260 million expansion of Ballpark Village Wednesday, unveiling The PwC Pennant Building, a Class-A Office Tower. This marks the first building to open within the second phase.
Anchored by PwC, a global network of firms delivering assurance, tax and consulting and longtime major employer in downtown St. Louis, The PwC Pennant Building opens as the first new construction office building built in downtown St. Louis in more than a generation.
“It has been exciting to watch the progress of Phase 2 take shape, and we’re thrilled to cut the ribbon on the brand new PwC Pennant Building,” said Bill DeWitt III, Team President, St. Louis Cardinals. “We welcome two new groups to the neighborhood – PwC and ButcherJoseph – and look forward to having FOX Sports Midwest move in shortly as well.”
“It is an honor for The Cordish Companies to celebrate this exciting milestone with the DeWitt family and the St. Louis Cardinals,” said Blake Cordish, Principal, The Cordish Companies. “Ballpark Village is setting the gold standard for sports-anchored developments in the country. The PwC Pennant Building will be an incredible anchor for Ballpark Village and its opening is a tremendous step forward in fulfilling our vision of creating a world-class, mixed-use neighborhood next to Busch Stadium.”
The PwC Pennant Building is part of a dynamic plan by the Cardinals and The Cordish Companies to transform the existing Ballpark Village dining and entertainment district into a vibrant 24/7 downtown neighborhood for St. Louis. The PwC Pennant Building kicks off a series of openings in the neighborhood over the next several months adding 700,000 square feet of dining, entertainment, hotel, residential, retail and lifestyle amenities to downtown. Once complete, the second phase expansion will complete a full build-out of Clark Street, transforming it into one of the most exciting streets in all of professional sports.
