New Approach to Development Near KC Streetcar Stop at UMKC
UMKC has revised its vision for how to develop a five-acre parcel of land at 51st Street and Brookside Boulevard, next to the southern terminus of the Kansas City Streetcar. That new vision calls for a phased approach, with the first step focused on retail and a later step to include building a small arena for UMKC Division I athletics and community events.
Based on this new approach, UMKC will close the current Request for Proposals, or RFP, which sought plans for a combined retail/arena project adjacent to the new streetcar stop. UMKC may seek further proposals in coming months.
