Lenexa has a lot of development on its plate, incoming Lenexa Chamber of Commerce CEO Ashley Sherard previously said, which can make it difficult to keep up on what’s next.
The Kansas City Business Journal is here to help: We’ve rounded up five Lenexa projects to watch in 2023.
Players: Copaken Brooks, developer; HKS Inc., architect; Henderson Engineering, Bob D. Campbell & Co. and Renaissance Infrastructure Consulting, engineers; Jacobs, project manager; GE Johnson Construction Co., construction manager
Description: The first phase has started on a five-story, 230,341-square-foot hospital and a three-story, 55,597-square-foot medical office building — the first two structures of the 11-building, 25-acre project — and second phase construction is expected to begin by the end of 2025.
The five phase, 645,712-square-foot project is anticipated to finish by 2031 at the northwest corner of 87th Street Parkway and Renner Boulevard near Lenexa City Center.
Players: Speedway II LLC, developer; Schlagel Associates, engineer
Description: Although remanded by the Lenexa City Council for further discussion, a 112-acre parcel could be home to an all-in-one mixed-use — residential, office, industrial, commercial — project spanning seven tracts north of Kansas Highway 10 and south of future construction of 99th Street, 101st Street and Clare Road. The site is just west of Kansas Highway 7.
The first two tracts span 20 acres on the westernmost part of the site with a mix of office, restaurant and retail. Tract three will be zoned for duplexes north of the future 101st Street. Tract four will be home to an apartment complex, buffering between K-10 and the other residential uses north of 101st Street. Tract five will be the last multifamily portion of the development. Office and industrial will be on the last two tracts on the site’s far east portion.
Players: Kansas City-based Block Real Estate Services LLC, developer; Prairie Village-based NSPJ Architects, architect
Description: Block plans to transform a five-story, 150,000-square-foot office building, previously home to Omaha-based engineering firm Kiewit Corp., near 95th Street and Renner, into a 319-apartment, mixed-use complex. It will include about 10,221 square feet of ground-floor office and retail and 80 apartments on the upper four floors
To the west of the former Kiewit building, Block plans to build a five-story, 239-apartment complex in a 353,744-square-foot building.
Players: AC City Center Lenexa LLC, developer (Copaken Brooks and EPC Real Estate Group LLC were previously identified behind AC City Center Lenexa); Klover Architects, architect
Description: Restaurant Row will consist of five buildings — four along a curved section of Scarborough Street and City Center Drive and the fifth at the corner of 87th and Renner — with restaurants on the ground floor and office or retail on the upper floors.
Phase one will start with construction of 217 surface parking spaces, the two outer buildings — a one-story, 9,191-square-foot restaurant on the southeast corner of 87th and Scarborough, and a one-story, 8,712-square-foot restaurant/retail building northwest of City Center Drive and Renner — plus the piers for the two-level parking structure in the center of the plaza.
K-10 and Ridgeview Road (two projects)
Players: Lane4 Property Group, developer; NSPJ Architects, architect; Phelps Engineering Inc., engineer
Description: Retreat on the Prairie will consist of five buildings with 373 apartments and five pad sites on 40 acres north of K-10 and Ridgeview. The pad sites’ uses include, but aren’t limited to, retail, restaurants, office, convenience store, gas station and hotel. The developer previously stated plans for a 130-unit hotel and a four-story, 38,500-square-foot office building. The apartments would be on the west side of Ridgeview, and the pad sites and other structures would be on the east side.
Players: West Star Development, developer. Vista Village team includes NSPJ Architects, architect; Payne & Brockway PA, civil engineer. Vista Ridge team includes Overland Park-based Davidson Architecture + Engineering.
Description: The $43 million,15-acre Vista Ridge at the northeast corner of K-10 and Ridgeview will offer quick-service restaurant, retail, medical and hospitality tenants. Construction on the first five of eight buildings will be completed by the first quarter.
The $120 million, 47-acre Vista Village at the southeast corner of Prairie Star Parkway and Ridgeview will include five retail buildings and two restaurants on the west side and a plaza amenity at the intersection. On the east side of the project, 122 townhomes (447 Vista Village on 24 acres) will be divided among 25 buildings in clusters of two, four, five and six units, plus a parking garage and a 6,600-square-foot retail building. Near the center of the site will be 260 apartments (CityScape Vista Village) and an amphitheater. Construction on the plaza area and the 260 apartments will be completed by April.
