Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Resort

[empires228]

Downtown KCK is a sad mess. I went down there to explore earlier this week on one of the nicer afternoons and besides the Merc, there's nothing going on down there. The entire vibe is of despair and desperation, and it's not only because I was panhandled about once a block, especially around the police station in the old Wards store. Most of the buildings on Minnesota are empty and it gets worse the further west, north, or south you go from Minnesota and 7th. KCK urban renewed the heck out of their core, which used to be the metros second most profitable shopping destination after downtown KCMO, later third after the Plaza prior to Indian Springs Mall being built, and the only investment they've thrown at it since is the money that went into landing the Merc Co-Op store. Lewis and Clark park was full of trash and graffiti and I assumed the riverfront trail would be the same.

The only new development in KCK that I can think of that hasn't been heavily subsidized is the new Menards going up on the city limits of KCK and Roeland Park, and I'll believe that store is happening when it gets built. BTW, Menards also asked for and received subsidies to build in Salina, Wichita, Topeka, and Garden City, KS. Can't find any info on Lawrence.

That's some entertainment district if it has car dealers

Per its latest PDF Lot to South of Apartments under Contract and its Zoned Retail and Lot 1 something might be going on it.

Why would anyone ever give subsidies to build a Menards

Most Menards in KS/MO/NE that I know of were incentivized. I know in Kansas alone they asked for and were granted money in Wichita, KCK, Garden City, Salina, and Topeka. Nebraska’s for Grand Island, Kearney, North Platte, Hastings, Scottsbluff, Fremont, Columbus, and Norfolk. They didn’t ask for incentives for the second KCK store, but nearly two years later it hasn’t broke ground…

Homefield costs jump to $838M as developers add arena, golf and museum attractions [RENDERINGS]

...
Chief among Homefield's additions are a $20 million location for BigShots Golf, a golf-themed food and entertainment attraction with 60 tee boxes for virtual games and competitions. Richard Napper, a partner in Homefield LLC and with NAR Realty Consulting, likened the 39,000-square-foot attraction to a Topgolf location and described it as one of the most exciting concepts he's worked on in 10 years planning redevelopment around the former water park.

Another new feature is a $53 million, 55,000-square-foot multi-sport and live music arena. Homefield is working to finalize an agreement with concert promoter Live Nation, which would hold events about 110 nights of the year, leaving the rest for different sporting events.
...
Homefield's new incarnation also would include a $26.7 million immersive art museum with a "magically transformed movie theater," called Atlas 9. The 30,000-square-foot museum would be built alongside local experience design firm Dimensional Innovations and resemble Meow Wolf art installations in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Las Vegas and Denver.
...
Homefield representatives are finalizing contract terms for a pickleball entertainment complex called 6S Pickleball, Hilton Garden Inn hotel, Super Car Guys used car dealership, new medical office building and indoor karting attraction.
...
The developer as of last week had nearly completed the steel structure for its $60 million indoor multisport Homefield Building. Mass grading also is progressing on the project's $40 million youth baseball complex and Margaritaville-themed hotel, the latter of which is being pursued by local developer Sunflower Development Group.
...
While costs for the Margaritaville hotel now sit at $145 million, up from a $85 million figure provided last year, Napper said the project's scope remains unchanged. The hotel is contemplated with about 230 rooms, a "LandShark" themed restaurant and multiple indoor and outdoor water sport features.
...
A new master plan for Homefield lists plans to start construction on the BigShots Golf and Atlas 9 projects this year, with the arena to follow in 2024. The amended development terms give those three components until July 1, 2024, to start construction and May 1, 2025, to be completed.

Margaritaville and the arena should be in the urban core

[mgsports]

Nothing yet on Restaurants or other Pad Sites yet.

[droopy]

What is the likelihood that this going to happen? Seems like a lot of planning and money for a movie theater, arena/concert venue and a top golf knockoff.

[TheSmokinPun]

Robb's grandest pipedream of them all.
