Developers are hoping a $100 million hotel, retail and office park project will become a catalyst for O'Fallon, Ill.'s own "loop" — an area where people can shop, dine, work and play.
Darwin Miles, president of Miles Properties, and Darrell Shelton, president of Commercial Property Investors, both based in O'Fallon, broke ground Monday on the 80-acre project at the northwest corner of Interstate 64 and Green Mount Road.
The development will feature a 128-room Hilton Garden Inn and a 99-room Hampton Inn and Suites. It also will have a 32,000-square-foot conference center.
The hotels and 500,000 square feet of office space will be on the north end of the development. The south end will be primarily retail, Miles said.
The conference center will open for business in the spring of 2008; the Hilton Garden Inn will follow in the summer; and the Hampton Inn and Suites in the fall of next year, Miles said.
Construction on the office buildings will be ongoing as the space gets leased out, he said, and several restaurants will open by early next year.
