New Owner Unveils $1.5B Revitalization Plan for Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza
A new ownership group targeting the historic Country Club Plaza announced a $1.5 billion redevelopment that will add 750 apartments, about 645,000 sq ft of office space, a 278‑room hotel, a park and expanded walkways. The mixed‑use vision aims to combat high vacancy and aging infrastructure at the nation’s first outdoor shopping center.
Washington’s Senate Bill 6026, backed by Gov. Bob Ferguson, requires cities with populations over 30,000 to permit residential development in commercial and mixed‑use zones. The measure cleared the House 69‑27 and the Senate 36‑12 and now awaits the governor’s signature. By converting underused strip malls and big‑box sites, the bill aims to add affordable units toward the state’s 1.1 million‑unit housing target. Carve‑outs for transit‑oriented projects and opt‑out provisions address municipal concerns while preserving some ground‑floor retail requirements.
