Target that its newest St. Louis store, located near the 抖阴pro campus, will officially open on Sunday, July 21.
The approximately 72,000-square-foot store is located at 900 S. Grand Boulevard along Grand Boulevard between Gratiot and Papin Streets. St. Louis real estate company Pier Property Group (PPG) announced in October 2021 that it had signed a lease with Minneapolis-based Target Corp. for the new store.
Attracting a top-tier brand like Target to Midtown has long been a dream for University
officials. As SLU President Fred P. Pestello, Ph.D., noted to the in May.
鈥淭he addition of a Target store near our university is a tremendous win for our students,
providing access to convenient and affordable shopping while they live and learn at
SLU,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 yet another dynamic hub where our students and the local community
can shop and find job opportunities 鈥� right here in Midtown.鈥�
The store will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and will include a CVS Pharmacy, Starbucks Caf茅, and Ulta Beauty at Target. The store fills a void of anchor retail tenants along the Grand corridor, and is part of the retailer's efforts to open more stores that meet community needs for urban centers, dense suburban cities and college campuses.
The project is located within the 400-acre redevelopment area that鈥檚 guided by the St. Louis Midtown Redevelopment Corp. (SLMRC), a joint effort of SLU and SSM Health.
Target is the anchor for mixed-use development dubbed 鈥淭he Edwin,鈥� which also will include 196 luxury apartments. The apartments saw tenants moving in earlier this year. The Edwin development is the latest phase of PPG鈥檚 Steelcote Square District, a more than $100 million investment in the area that also includes the Steelcote Lofts, Steelcote Crossing and Steelcote Flats.
