Koman Properties' forthcoming project at the intersection of Forest Park Avenue & Vandeventer Avenue offers a prime location, that is currently under utilized by area retailers.  Not only is this development in close proximity to St. Louis University, but The Villages at Forest Park's eximplary location features a population of 379,854 in a five mile radius, this compounded with the extremely limited retail sources in the area cause this to be a prime location for new retail development. In the initial phase of The Villages at Forest Park, Koman Properties plans to develop a neighborhood retial center featuring more than 143,750 s.f. of retail space, with a possible second phase featuring multiple major anchor tenants.
