With no fans at baseball games, the best seats in the house are at these luxury rentals near stadiums
By Diana Olick
summary
Ballparks have become increasingly popular as anchors for new real estate developments in recent years. Now, luxury rentals near baseball stadiums are primed to take advantage of the views they offer to fans who can’t attend games due to the coronavirus. One Cardinal Way in St. Louis, MO is a luxury, field-side residential building development by The Cordish Companies and The St. Louis Cardinals that has seen a jump in leasing over the last few months as fans look for units overlooking the baseball field. The 29-story tower is part of a $360 million mixed-use neighborhood called Ballpark Village, with retail, restaurant and residential properties. It opens in August, just as games begin at Busch Stadium. Rents range from $1,400 to $7,900 per month. The article features commentary from Jeff Stauffer, an avid Cardinals fan who is about to move into his apartment at One Cardinals Way, where he can watch a game not only from his own unit, but from a large communal terrace on the eighth floor.
