St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame Intends To Build $20 Million Facility, Looking at Union Station

According to WhoLou sources the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame intends to build a 33,000 sq. ft. facility in the city. The ownership group which includes founder and president of the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame Greg Marecek has hired local planning, architecture, and interiors firm JEMA as manager for the $20 million project. Marecek is also owner of three sports radio stations in St. Louis including 590 AM KFNS.

JEMA partner John Mueller confirmed WhoLou source information today stating, “We have been meeting with Lodging Hospital Management (LHM) regarding the Union Station location but this deal is in no way complete and there are other potential locations in the area that we also have interest in.” Mueller declined to elaborate on those other locations but said a press conference is scheduled for later today where design renderings for the project will be released. LHM bought Union Station in 2012 for $20 million and recently announced a $25 million plan to renovate the historic complex.
