Here's a good article in CNBC about Kansas City's odds. It seems like the overall consensus is Seattle is a lock and we've got a good shot but really need to find someone/group to pony up the money https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/14/kansas-city-needs-a-billionaire-to-get-an-nba-team-or-itll-go-to-las-v...

I agree empires228 i think the people in south johnson county don't feel compelled to drive to the plaza anymore and they can get a majority of the items online. Either way, it's just depressing to see what's happened to the plaza. I really hope that they turn it around.

Tiffany's is now closing on the plaza. Not really sure what Taubmann is going to do with all these empty storefronts. Pretty sad to see what's happening down there.

fyi; the punch bowl social company that was going to open in the old jack henry building has filed for bankruptcy.

when was the planned start date for this construction again?

Talk about disappointing. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of this project. I guess back to the drawing board for them.

was there supposed to be some sort of announcement about this last month?

i didn't read the article but my guess is construction will start next year. on their website they've changed the date to a fall 2022 opening.

I guess this is good news for oak park mall, it buys them another year to figure out what to do with that big space.

the kansas city star just posted an article stating that Nordstrom has postponed the opening for their new store on the plaza past next year due to covid.

Oak park mall is going to have a really tough time once Nordstrom also moves out. Not sure what they’re going to do going forward.

got it . thanks for the update wooddraw!

anyone know what they said at the 10:30 announcement?

Guess whose back

Same proposal?

I'm surprised. Considering the current pandemic and how hard hit the hospitality industry has been you'd think a luxury hotel is the last thing on the development list.

An interesting article about NBA expansion and Kansas City is mentioned in the article.

Website finally updated

It's a nice rendering. This is the first time I noticed they had the light rail running through it as well. Can't wait to see the skyline when it has strata, and four-light filling up the rest of that same image.

Not sure if anyone noticed this but it seems like this project was taken off of the copaken brooks site. Anyone have an update about this ? The strata page was updated and republished. The leasing brochure was removed. The biggest change: Construction is expected to commence Summer 2020 with a comp...

Is it just me or is this project moving extremely fast?

Does anyone know if forever 21 is closing on the plaza or are they still negotiating the lease rates?
