ANYTHING would look better than Isle of Debris. The new paint job they did on it looks horrendous.

Hell putting this in downtown KCK next to the 7th street casino would make more sense than this

It seems confusing because of the brand, but outside of that the location seems pretty solid. Great visibility, easy access, lack of upscale hotel rooms in that area, sports & events nearby, easy to shuttle people to entertainment, continued development seems likely, plus incentives. I can see why they were able to pull in something better than La Quinta.

Re: OFFICIAL: The Legends at Village West
StarBonds in the Legends area have actually worked, though. This isn't like the stupid bond's they've issued for things like Prairie Fire that never had a chance to not suck. The only thing Wyandotte County has done to hurt the metro with any part of this was move the DFA HQ over the state line, but that was part of an extensive deal that also involved a new DFA plant on the other end of the state. Most cities have a successful outlet mall-entertainment area and they're usually about as far flung from downtown as Village West. We should be glad that it has worked out rather than end up like St. Louis Mills or The Great Mall. It's also nice to have hotels out there because a lot of the affordable hotels in KCMO and JoCo are dated and just plain awful. Some of the airport hotels are pretty bad too, but I don't judge there because most of the airport hotels in Wichita, Omaha, and STL are just as horrid.

Re: OFFICIAL: The Legends at Village West
Any news on the Hard Rock hotel or Menards store supposedly going in out there? Seems like projects move really slow getting developed in that area.
Re: OFFICIAL: The Legends at Village West
Hard Rock Hotels probably figured out that 110th and I-70 would be the most ridiculous location for a hotel like that in their chain and no matter how much money was handed to them via star bonds, it was probably not what they really wanted to do.mistervinix wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 10:02 amAny news on the Hard Rock hotel or Menards store supposedly going in out there?

Menards on the other hand fits the area perfectly and I'm sure that they will build a store there. I'm sure they will get some incredible incentives even though they don't need them, but I would guess they will be out there soon enough. It would be much better for them to locate in a more populated part of the county though like near Indian Springs or the old Walmart on State Ave. But KCK is all about building out in the middle of nowhere.

Re: OFFICIAL: The Legends at Village West
Building the hotel in that area might actually work, but building a Menards in either would be a disaster. For one, the people of Bonner Springs, Lake Quivera, and Leavenworth County won't go that far into KCK. The Indian Springs Mall area has only continued to decay since the mall closed. The area around where Kmart was is occasionally in the news for sketchy activity.GRID wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 12:14 amHard Rock Hotels probably figured out that 110th and I-70 would be the most ridiculous location for a hotel like that in their chain and no matter how much money was handed to them via star bonds, it was probably not what they really wanted to do.mistervinix wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 10:02 amAny news on the Hard Rock hotel or Menards store supposedly going in out there?

Menards likes to be where other Commercial is and at 435 and State Ave theirs a lot. Because Speedway,Sporting KC,T-BONES,Cerner,other Soccer types and so on Hard Rovk Hotel will be built.

Re: OFFICIAL: The Legends at Village West
Looks like it's about 50-50. They like to start brand new retail areas on the edge of town too.
KC (1x), Jeff City, Sedalia, St. Joseph, Osage Beach, Rolla, Kirksville, Springfield (1x)
Some of these stores they're the only retail in the area.
Re: OFFICIAL: The Legends at Village West
Same with Olathe,Belton and so on.
