Cupples
Station and Edison Brothers warehouse
are TOD in action
The 257 luxury room Westin Hotel St.
Louis located in the historic Cupples
Warehouse complex next to the Busch
Stadium MetroLink Station is now open.
The $55 million hotel is a key element
of the $300 million redevelopment of
downtown St. Louis which also includes
a combination of office, retail, hotel,housing
and parking facilities. Westin Hotels
& Resorts manages the hotel for
McCormack Baron & Associates with
SunAmerica, the owners and developers
of the hotel portion of the redevelopment
project.
MetroLink played a key role in the
revitalization of these historic warehouses.
MetroLink, with direct access to the
airport, was one of the key reasons
that Westin Hotels chose this site
for one of their luxury hotels.
