Expo at Forest Park is a new mixed-use development in the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood, just north of Forest Park. It includes 287 market-rate apartments and 30,000 square feet of retail space within walking distance of the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Transit Center.

This transit-oriented development project from private developer Tegethoff Development includes garage parking for Metro Transit commuters and enhanced access to the St. Louis region’s MetroBus network and MetroLink light-rail system. Included in the development were plans to adaptively reuse existing transit infrastructure and real estate at the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Transit Center, including improving security, amenities and overall transit experience of MetroLink riders.

Construction began in summer 2020, and was completed in late 2022.

“Expo at Forest Park is a wonderful example of thoughtful, impactful investment that strengthens our communities and drives economic growth,” said St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson. “This development will completely transform the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood, bringing new resources, amenities and stronger transit accessibility, all within steps of Forest Park, one of our city’s most iconic destinations.”
