$265 million expansion, including a four-diamond quality hotel, conference center and parking garage. Walton has begun construction on the Ameristar expansion and is expected to complete the project by late 2007. The project will create 400 union construction jobs and add more than 100 new jobs to Ameristar’s workforce.
The Ameristar Casino – St. Charles expansion plan includes a 25-story, 400-room all-suite hotel with a 7,000-square-foot full-service day spa, a workout facility and indoor/outdoor pool, a 2,350-space parking garage and 55,000 square feet of meeting and banquet facilities. The all-suite oversized hotel rooms will include 10 king spa suites and two Presidential suites.
The distinctive design of the hotel and parking garage exterior is indicative of the historic masonry themes of the St. Charles area, but interpreted with a contemporary take. Guests will enter the hotel from a newly refurbished and modern entryway that leads into the hotel lobby, which is predominantly glass with stone floors and walls, and includes a “water wall” feature.
Last November, Walton completed an $8.7 million soil and site improvement project on the casino’s 52-acre property. Before the Ameristar – St. Charles expansion could begin, soil improvements and grounds modification were necessary to create a sound foundation at the casino’s riverfront location. Walton worked with Hayward Baker to perform Vibrocompaction, a soil-improvement technique designed to prepare, densify and improve soil condition to withstand substantial weight.
Walton Construction Co. of St. Louis is a leader in pre-construction, general contracting, design-build and construction management services. Walton serves national and local casino, healthcare, retail, distribution centers and commercial clients. Walton Construction is ranked 56th among the top 100 contractors in the United States by Engineering News Record and third in St. Louis by the St. Louis Business Journal list of general contractors.
