The Cardinals say the first phase will be a two-block entertainment complex on the land previously occupied by the former Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals and their developer, Cordish Co., closed on financing Wednesday.
The first phase of the project received $17 million in state and city incentives. The Cardinals hope to open Ballpark Village in time for Opening Day 2014.
