====The Meadows at Lake St. Louis====
The second major retail development that anchors the Lake St. Louis retail district is The Meadows at Lake St. Louis. Opened in August 2008, the Meadows is an open-air shopping district geared toward the community's affluent residents. The Meadows was developed to meet the growing demand for specialty stores and restaurants in St. Charles County, and it was billed as the first [[Lifestyle center (retail)|lifestyle center]] in the county. It features two landscaped boulevards in a downtown street grid, surrounded by 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m2) of restaurants and a variety of specialty retail stores. The retail portion of the development is anchored by upscale specialty department store [[Von Maur]]. Kansas City-based Ferguson Properties also plans to build a 110- to 120-room Marriott or Hilton branded hotel geared toward business travelers as part of the lifestyle center. The Meadows is located on {{convert|64|acres|abbr=on}} on the north side of I-64 near Lake St. Louis Boulevard.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rebusinessonline.com/main.cfm?id=7507 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-09-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403223352/http://www.rebusinessonline.com/main.cfm?id=7507 |archive-date=2012-04-03 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2008/01/28/daily26.html | first=St. | last=Louis | title=Lake St. Louis mall lands Missouri's first Von Maur store|website=Bizjournals.com | date=2008-01-29}}</ref>
