New Lofts Could Mean Big Business in Chesterfield Village

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. --Luxury lofts, retail stores and office space will soon open in a community on the southwest part of Springfield.

The development sits in Chesterfield Village near James River and Kansas Expressway.

With the addition, business could boom for restaurants and other shops in the village.

A typical Sunday for Madison Grogan includes serving her regulars at Garbo's Pizzeria in the heart of Chesterfield Village.

"I feel like I really know most of the people that come in here," says Grogan.

Grogan says some customers come from all over Springfield, but most eat, work and play near the village.

"We get a lot of families, a lot of repeat customers, you know, a lot of people come in, they want the same thing, same drinks. Its kind of fun, you build a relationship with a lot of the customers."

The 260,000 square foot community is getting a boost with a 52,000 square foot loft set to open next month.

Mike Fusek is the developer of the new Chesterfield Lofts.

"The first floor is office and retail spaces and floors two, three and four high-end, luxury residences."
