2017 Global Awards for Excellence as Selected by the Urban Land Institute

Twenty-five extraordinary developments from around the world have been selected as finalists for the 2017 Global Awards for Excellence as selected by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) for the best development and use of urban land. Two of these twenty-five projects had major construction participation by one long time St. Louis area construction firm – Blanton Construction.
The two projects that were in this elite listing from around the globe are Ballpark Village, adjacent to Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Baseball Cardinals in downtown St. Louis and Brickell City Centre in Miami. The stats on these projects are as follows:
Ballpark Village – Developer: The Cordish Companies, Designer: Design Collective, Jeffrey Beers International. On this project Blanton Construction was responsible for over half of the interior finish. The venues completed by Blanton are: Live Nation, the centerpiece and main gathering area; Fox Sports Midwest; PBR a Cowboy Bar; the Budweiser Brew House Restaurant and the Budweiser Beer Garden and Roof Top Deck.
Brickell City Centre- Developer: Swire Properties, Inc. Designer: Arquitectionica. This entire development was estimated to be worth over one billion dollars when complete and encompass 5.4 million square feet including 565,000 square feet of retail shopping.
