St. Louis Premium Outlets, located south of the Daniel Boone Bridge in Chesterfield Valley, are just one part of a larger development.
When St. Louis Premium Outlets finally opens in August, it won’t be the end for major commercial development in the Chesterfield Valley. That’s because St. Louis Premium Outlets has long been just one part of a larger development, Chesterfield Blue Valley. The land is owned by developer Dean Wolfe, who sold 50 acres to Simon Property Group for the outlet mall and held on to the remaining 100 acres that surrounds it. City records indicate that Wolfe starting combining plots in the area just south of the Daniel Boone Bridge in 2008, but he is now beginning to move forward on plans to develop it, according to KSDK. The TV news station talked with Wolfe, who said he intends to sell the remaining land around the outlet mall to companies …

He's worried that two outlet malls may be one too many.
Chesterfield Mayor Bruce Geiger recently told KDSK he is worried about the competing efforts to construct two new outlet malls in the area. The two developments, Taubman Prestige Outlets and St. Louis Premium Outlets, are planned to open next fall and would be only about five miles apart. Together, they would add more than 600,000 square feet of retail space. Geiger said he is glad to see the interest in opening new businesses but added that it might be more than the region's consumers are capable of supporting. The report was also picked up by the St. Louis Business Journal and contrasts statements from the two companies, which have both said they expect their respective commercial ventures to do well. The mayor's statement is just the…

Chesterfield's City Council is to meet Monday night for its regular meeting, that will included a vote over a one percent sales tax hike for future St. Louis Premium Outlets stores, in Chesterfield Valley at the Missouri River.

No stormwater drainage ditches expected to bisect popular farmland.
Despite concerns last month over the potential for open drainage ditches cutting through a popular family-owned pumpkin farm in Chesterfield Valley by outlet stores developers, the seasonal farm stand is now open for business. Rombach Farms maintains its vegetable, fruit and jams stand along Olive Street Road at the far western end of Chesterfield Valley, close to the Boone Bridge crossing over into St. Charles County. See accompanying photo. The family farm, which will turn 100 years old in 2013, backs up to 188 acres owned by developers looking to install sewer, water, roads and landscaping on the property, for a 55-acre outlet stores shopping center along Highway 40/64.

Collection of lots for high-end outlet mall may be least of investment.
Chesterfield Valley's 55 acres designated for St. Louis Premium Outlets shopping center near the banks of the Missouri River at Highway 40/64 could be the least expensive part of the whole deal. The total 188 acres bought up for development are assessed at no more than $73,020, according to the developers' application for a special taxing district. By Chesterfield Patch calculations, dividing the total assessed value by total acreage would mean 55 acres for Premium Outlets at $21,362. Low? "It's agricultural right now because it's not developed, and so that's why it seems low," said Libbey Malberg-Tucker, the City of Chesterfield's assistant city administrator for community services & economic development.

Potentially two outlet malls are planned.
An outlet mall is in the works for Chesterfield's ever-expanding commercial district in Chesterfield Valley. The location is north of Highway 40/64 and east of Boone's Crossing exit. Outlet stores are typically billed as having name-brand merchandise at discounted prices. T-O Ventures, the developer, is requesting a zoning change from the city for 59 acres to planned commercial flood plain district, from "non-urban" district. The developer said 25,000 square feet would likely be the largest retail space in the outlet mall. A spokesman also said the outlet stores would back up to the levee trail, and needed to reduce the amount of "green space" required to 30 percent from 40 percent. The plan was to cover over the water channel at the back …
