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.
https://www.kansascity.com/news/busines ... 41612.html“Due to the impact of COVID-19, construction on our new store at Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri, has been delayed. Our opening is now scheduled for the Fall 2022. We’re looking forward to serving customers in this location in the future.”
CBL had been betting on demolishing quite a bit and throwing up a new Round One/AMC last I heard from a friend working at the mall. Now AMC is on the brink of death and so is CBL lol.
I was able to get confirmation that the Merriman family purchased the hotel.

The Holiday Inn is not taking reservations past next week (I tried).
Why close the hotel and pay for a bulldozing if you aren't going to redevelop anytime soon?

Was supposed to start in summer 2021. I guess around 2090 now.Highlander wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 10:49 pm Read today that Nordstrom's is pushing back their opening on the Plaza to 2023. Have they even started the building?
It will be interesting to see what fills it... I guess they stopped using it as the "Flagship" location when the new one in Leawood opened. Helzberg is closing a ton of stores nationally.Midtownkid wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 10:54 am Wow that's a prominent storefront. It's one of the more attractive corners under an iconic, tiled dome. Hope they get someone good in that spot.
People totally called this company not lasting from the second it was announced that they were looking at the Plaza.LCDSI wrote: ↑Tue Dec 22, 2020 3:27 pm fyi; the punch bowl social company that was going to open in the old jack henry building has filed for bankruptcy.
