Westport Plaza is a 42-acre (170,000 m2), commercial development, resort, and entertainment center[1] located in Maryland Heights, Missouri. Westport was built by a prominent St. Louis developer, Thomas J. White,[2] and opened in 1973.[3] Westport since has grown to over 700,000 square feet (65,000 m2) of office buildings, restaurants, entertainment venues, and hotels.[4] The property was purchased jointly in 2007 by real estate company Golub & Co. and Boston-based Intercontinental Real Estate Corp.[5] In 2012, Westport Plaza was purchased by Lodging Hospitality Management.[6] The entertainment complex hosts many popular events over the year including the St. Louis Beer and Brat Festival, lunchtime concerts, "Parties at the Plaza" events, jazz concerts[7] and Archon 34.[8] The plaza underwent a major renovation in 2023-2024 with the construction of an open green space and large television as part of Rawlings (company) building The Rawlings Experience at the site.
