Goals of the Study

The St. Louis County Port Authority conducted a Market Analysis and Feasibility Study in 2022 that combined a comprehensive market analysis of a wide range of realistic redevelopment scenarios with extensive community engagement. The purpose of the Jamestown Mall Market Analysis and Feasibility Study was to evaluate the feasibility of potential redevelopment opportunities that were commercially feasible and aligned with the needs and desires of the surrounding community. Below are the goals of the study.

Evaluation of Land Use Scenarios

The planning team developed six land use scenarios for initial analysis. Based on the initial market analysis and input from the community, three land use scenarios were chosen for final analysis. The end result was a preferred land use scenario and an alternative land use scenario that reflected community feedback.

Robust Community Engagement

Community engagement was a very important part of this process. Engagement included:

An advisory committee that included community members worked with the planning team to dive deep into the market analysis and develop principles of preferred development.
A series of focused neighborhood conversations in small groups.
Two public forums.

Development Principles

The planning team worked with the advisory committee and the community in developing a set of “development principles”. These principles will help inform future development proposals and development standards to ensure community expectations are met.
