The District at Chesterfield

The District at Chesterfield is a 1,000,000 square foot Class A lifestyle center in Chesterfield, Missouri, operated by CRG (Clayton Real Estate Group). Developed as a redevelopment of the former Taubman Prestige Outlets, the property opened in phases with major components delivered in 2021 and 2022. The mixed-use format incorporates residential and office components alongside retail, dining, and entertainment, positioning the center as a destination with built-in daily foot traffic beyond traditional shopping visits.

Chesterfield sits in St. Louis County’s West County corridor, drawing from some of the highest-income communities in the metro area, including Wildwood, Ellisville, and Town and Country. The trade area extends through established suburban neighborhoods where household income and discretionary spending support destination retail and premium dining. The property’s location along the Chesterfield Valley, with direct access from Highway 40 and proximity to major employment centers, gives it strong regional pull from both residential and professional populations.

The anchor lineup at The District departs from conventional department store logic entirely. Kingside Diner and Hi-Pointe Drive-In anchor the food and beverage component with distinct, locally rooted concepts. 4 Hands Brewing Co. and Narwhal’s Crafted extend the craft beverage and dining draw, while K. Zander Jewelry represents specialty retail with a local identity. The entertainment anchors carry significant weight: Main Event provides large-format family and group entertainment, Game Show Battle Rooms adds an interactive social concept, and Padel + Pickle Club introduces a recreational anchor built around a fast-growing sport format. This configuration draws a wide cross-section of shoppers, from families and young professionals seeking evening entertainment to daytime visitors combining errands with dining. The tenant structure favors concepts with a defined point of view over mass-market retail, and the mixed-use foundation sustains traffic across the week rather than concentrating it on weekends.

Brands evaluating entry at The District need to fit a center where experience and identity carry more weight than brand recognition alone. The property is built for concepts that create a reason to visit, whether through food, recreation, specialty goods, or social activity. Independent and regional brands with strong local followings have an advantage here, as do national concepts that can adapt to a format centered on engagement rather than transaction volume. The residential and office components generate consistent weekday traffic that complements weekend leisure visits, which broadens the viable daypart for retail and food operators. Brands that perform at The District bring a clear concept, a defined customer, and a format that contributes to the center’s identity as a gathering place for the West County market.
