ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO-A 136-room Hilton Garden Inn will be constructed at the 550-acre mixed-use NorthPark development. The $500-million project is being developed by NorthPark Partners, a joint venture of McEagle Properties of O'Fallon, MO and St. Louis-based Clayco. Inc. The redevelopment is adjacent to Lambert International Airport and University of Missouri-St. Louis at the northeast corner of Interstates 70 and 170 in the cities of Kinloch, Berkeley and Ferguson.

The $12-million hotel project will be developed in conjunction with St. Louis-based Lodging Hospitality Management. The four story hotel will have a total of 87,650 sf including a restaurant and a 5,000-sf conference center attached to the hotel.

The hotel is a great amenity in marketing the development, says Jim Eisenhart, VP for McEagle Properties. “With the position of the university and position of the airport, some of the key players that we are working with do quite a bit of traveling,” Eisenhart says.
