JAMESTOWN MALL MARKET ANALYSIS AND FEASIBILITY STUDY
A community driven, market based approach.
The St. Louis County Port Authority is conducting a Market Analysis and Feasibility Study in 2022 that combines 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 is to evaluate the feasibility of potential redevelopment opportunities that are commercially feasible and align with the needs and desires of the surrounding community.
Goals of the Study
Evaluation of Land Use Scenarios
The planning team will develop four to six land use scenarios for initial analysis. Based on the initial market analysis and input from the community, two to three land use scenarios will be chosen for final analysis. The end result may be one preferred land use scenario, but more likely two to three land use scenarios that reflect community feedback, are commercially viable, and provide for an acceptable return on public investment.
Robust Community Engagement
Community engagement is a very important part of this process. Engagement will include:
An advisory committee that includes community members will work 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 will work 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. The development principles are to be determined, but may include: place-making (architecture, walkability, community space, etc.), local business and job creation, and return on public investment.

Small Group Meetings
From late April through early June, the planning team conducted a series of small group discussions with subdivisions, neighborhood organizations, and other groups regarding the initial six land use scenarios. The small group meetings were an opportunity to find out more about each scenario and for attendees to share initial feedback and questions. It is important to note that these six land use scenarios are just the starting point in the process for analysis and evaluation. The small group discussions were limited to 10-15 attendees to ensure a robust conversation.
