Alas, this campaign was not successful. The 56-year-old facility was shuttered in early 2012, becoming the fourth major St. Louis mall to go under. Demolition got underway in May 2016.

An initial CRESTWOOD PLAZA redevelopment plan was submitted in 2017. THE CREST, a 99 million dollar mixed-use complex, would have been anchored by a state-of-the-art megaplex cinema and several big-box-type retailers.

THE CREST concept was eventually rejected. A new developer was brought in in late 2018. Their proposal for a CRESTWOOD CITY CENTER would have utilized smaller retail stores. As with THE CREST, there would also be a megaplex cinema, residential units and office spaces. The CRESTWOOD CITY CENTER plan was not approved.

The third time's a charm! A third redevelopment prospectus was submitted in mid-2021 and approved in March 2022. CRESTWOOD CROSSING would be anchored by a large supermarket, with additional retail in four adjacent buildings. Residential, restaurant and office components would be included in the fully-realized project.
