Developers ask Dardenne Prairie to move stalled Cedarstone mixed‑use project to first reading

Developers of the long‑pending Cedarstone mixed‑use development asked the Dardenne Prairie Board of Aldermen to restore the project to the city's regular meeting agenda. Matt Siegel of TriStar Properties and Chris Wagner of the trust that owns the property described a phased plan that includes about 44 single‑family lots in the rear, up to 30,000 square feet of neighborhood‑scale commercial space and roughly 200 multifamily units.

Siegel told aldermen the project's designs and architecture align with the city’s vision committee report and that the plan previously received planning commission approval for portions of the project. He said developers have been patient during the tabling period and want to restart construction and leasing, noting the owner already operates fully leased Wing Haven Shops nearby and has active tenant interest.

Aldermen questioned parking ratios, whether garages would be included, buffering between single‑family lots and multifamily areas, and potential public amenities such as a dog park or passive green space. The developer said screening and landscaping would be incorporated and described a likely parking ratio target in the 1.6–1.75 range.

At the end of the presentation the board voted unanimously to take Cedarstone off the table and place it on the March 5 regular meeting agenda for a first reading. Aldermen emphasized that scheduling a first reading is procedural and does not constitute final approval; the project will still require the votes needed at subsequent readings and any conditions set by the council.

Next steps: Cedarstone will appear for first reading on March 5; developers and staff should prepare materials for the public hearing and subsequent readings.
