This gave a good example of why parking maximums are a good idea.

They're adding nearly 2000 spots more than is required based on the space. At the peak of the mall era when this was the major mall for two entire counties they never used every spot available and somehow we need 4600 parking spots today?

From a retail standpoint, Metro North Crossing has seen a boost in interest since golf and entertainment venue T-Shotz opened in October.

Father-and-son project managers David and Daniel Horn expect to identify as many as seven to eight new retail users in the next few months for the 93-acre development at U.S. Highway 169 and Barry Road.

"We do have a lot of positive momentum right now with the project, specifically with some of the pad sites along Barry Road," Daniel Horn told the Kansas City Business Journal, citing the potential for several "different, unique and exciting concepts."

Concurrently, Metro North Crossing's development team is advancing an amended master plan for the $187.5 million redevelopment, with slightly less retail and restaurant space, down from 648,775 to 615,451 square feet.

The revisions reflect size reductions for four central retail buildings, providing more parking that prospective tenants identified as a significant priority, David Horn said.

Just south, three new retail buildings — including a potential grocer — were substituted in place of three pad sites, reducing the total pad site count to 11.

A proposed 100-room hotel remains part of the amended plan. Although the pandemic has slowed interest in that sector, Daniel Horn said that could change because of nearby plans for a $36 million Northland soccer complex run by Sporting Kansas City.

After several continuances, the City Plan Commission is scheduled to review the amended plan April 6.

And Lenexa-based MW Builders Inc. has continued working on a $60 million multifamily development, the Metro North Crossing Apartments, which broke ground in August in the site's northeast sector.

The complex includes 249 one- and two-bedroom apartments — 213 units in four-story buildings plus 36 two-story townhomes atop 30,000 square feet of retail, office and restaurant.

Since September, MW Builders has completed about 90% of underground utility work, with all grade beams and spot footings done and slabs placed for three of the five complex buildings, Operations Manager Eric Bebermeyer said.

Workers now are completing the clubhouse's exterior facade and drywall, and starting wood framing for the first multifamily units, with the hopes of finishing the building shell in late April or early May, weather permitting, Bebermeyer said.

David Horn said the townhome-and-retail building is scheduled for delivery first, around early 2022, with the balance of the multifamily project expected to finish around early spring 2022.

Approvals for redevelopment of the former Metro North Mall date to 2016, spearheaded by an affiliate of Kansas City-based IAS Partners Ltd. Beyond T-Shotz, existing tenants include Macy's, Olive Garden, Red Lobster and McDonald's.
