<br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.mharch.com/\">M+H Architects</a> designed the project. <a href=\"http://www.askbrinkmann.com/\">Brinkmann Constructors</a> is the general contractor. <br /><br />Streetscapes, a central plaza, a three-acre lake, buildings in variations of brick and stone, and luxury retailers and restaurants will be&nbsp; part of the center. &nbsp;<br /><br /><img alt=\"The Meadows at Lake St. Louis\" class=\"image-left\" height=\"167\" src=\"/images/uploads/meadows.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"244\" />The first phase includes nearly 30 retailers and restaurants, including 13 opening their only stores in St. Charles County plus three making their Missouri debut. <br /><br />Located on a 64-acre site at Lake Saint Louis Boulevard and I-64), Phase I features four retail buildings totaling 260,000 square feet clustered around an inviting central plaza with seating and performance spaces. &nbsp;<br /><br />A 15-foot tall bronze sculpture by local artist Marty Linson stands at the plaza\'s center.&nbsp; A 40-foot-tall clock tower marks the octagonal-shaped plaza with a stage for center and community events.&nbsp; A pergola with a redwood trellis forms the backdrop for the stage.&nbsp; Four 12-foot-high stone columns topped with limestone planters mark gateways to the plaza. &nbsp;<br /><br />Each of The Meadows\' four buildings will contain 10 to 15 retailers.&nbsp; Storefronts contrast deep-set, limestone frames with 11- to 15-plus-foot-tall shop windows and clerestories accented with brick and limestone facades.<br /><br />Shops feature distinctive entrances that emphasize individual brands. Continuity is expressed in cast medallions bearing the logo of The Meadows and store addresses, a limestone ribbon around each building and gabled roofs with slate-style shingles and ornamental copper gutters, downspouts and flashing. <br /><br />A dozen patterns and types of brick pavers and stamped concrete are used to subtly direct way finding.&nbsp; Cast iron benches and decorative railing framing landscaped stretches add to the charm.&nbsp; The center is planted with more than 100 varieties of trees, grasses and flowers.&nbsp; A roundabout slows and directs automobile traffic around the plaza. &nbsp;<br /><br />At night architectural lighting illuminates elements of building facades shadowed during the day, including basket weave brick patterns beneath eaves and medallions.&nbsp; Landscape lighting and cast iron streetlights brighten walks for shoppers.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br /><br />The Meadows at Lake Saint Louis is owned, leased and managed by Davis Street Land Company in partnership with Johnston, a lifetime resident of St. Louis with more than 25 years of retail real estate experience.&nbsp; Based in Chicago, Davis Street develops and owns upscale specialty and lifestyle centers. &nbsp;</p>";s:10:"category_0";s:1:"4";}
