Re: OFFICIAL - Aspiria (formerly Sprint Campus)

That Andretti’s site is not moving along very fast. I swear it looks virtually the same as six months ago. Some equipment and workers there but little forward momentum.

Re: Bonner Springs

All these visitors will never drive a few miles east on State Avenue, and if they do they will wonder how they traveled back in time to 1978. Maybe there will start to be more redevelopment in that direction but I doubt it. But hopefully this and the Homefield project will be a big enough success th...

Re: Katz on Main

There does seem to be continued progress, but I remain concerned about the historic piece of the project. Fitting a swimming pool and roof deck up there is no small feat and there is limited reinforcement. At least at this point That aerial really does show how far they've got to go on the historic...

Live Nation Amphitheater

What's the story with this? They supposedly broke ground in January but every time I drive by Horizons Parkway and 635 in Riverside I see no progress (or can even tell exactly where it's going to be).

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Maybe others have posted this already, but having that godawful AT&T building in the background is really going to suck. I know there are some kind of rules about MLB stadium orientations, but still.

Re: OFFICIAL - Prairiefire

It isn’t going to be an Amazon Fresh. My point is they are implying a grocery store is coming. Yeah, they would like a grocery to fill that spot - but that building has been finished since early last summer and still nothing.

Re: OFFICIAL - Prairiefire

Bondholders were sent a notice of default last month after Prairiefire could not pay off $15 million in debt by its maturity date, which is the first slice of $65 million in Kansas Sales Tax and Revenue, or STAR, bonds issued in 2012. Johnson County mega-development defaults on bonds from controver...

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway

It's also amazing that the former Whole Foods store (and I think it started out as a Safeway back in the day), has sat empty this whole time across the street. The negative energy given off the Gateway site no doubt has affected any development there.

Dillard's also regrets not committing to a store down south after that proposed Simon-developed mall failed to get off the ground in Martin City because sales at the two Oak Park stores have declined quite a bit. Must have missed that Martin City mall proposal. That would really fit right in with a...

Re: 95 Metcalf South update and former Sears

They haven't been working on the old Sears for well over a month now. In the meantime, an older office building across Metcalf has been renovated and is lit up with blinding LED lighting now.

If so, it makes sense as a small office building was torn down there in the last six months or so. And the BP on the NE corner near Q39 is a ripoff.
