Development

Lee’s Summit River Walk

Happy Thursday, Kansas City! Lee’s Summit broke ground this week on a massive development by Intrinsic Development that will cost close to $1 Billion.

• Did You Say Riverwalk?: Discovery Park by Intrinsic Development will take several years to fully develop, but when it’s complete it will feature 2,800 apartments, retail space, restaurants, a river walk, and possibly medical offices.

• Business Is King: Included in the first phase are businesses like Yoga6, CoffeeHAUS, Woodfire Pizza and Brews, Body FitTraining, Village Market, and Intrinsic Development’s corporate headquarters.

• Location Is Everything: The nearly 650,000-square-foot project will be developed on the north side of I-470 along NW Colbern Road.

Construction on the project is underway with a final projected completion goal of 2031. Phases 2 and 3 are set to begin in 2024, while Phase 1 is expected to be completed by 2026.

KC Does Beer Really, Really Well

Two local breweries landed themselves on a list of the nation’s 20 best beers in 2023.

• To The Victors Go The Spoils: BKS Artisan Ales and KC Bier Co both beat out more than 1000 beers in a blind taste test conducted by Craft Beer & Brewing magazine.

• A+ Students: The two winning beers were the Pivo Project Bohemian-Style Pilsner by BKS and the Bier Co Light by KC Bier Co. The Pivo Project and Bier Co Light both received scores of 99/100 and 95/100 respectively.

• Back To My Roots: Both beers were born out of a love for their European heritage. The Pivo Project Bohemian Style Pilsner was born out of a recent trip to Czechia while the Bier Co Light was meant to take after its German roots as a lighter German Pilsner.

You can visit BKS Artisan Ales 7 days a week in Brookside and KC Bier Co. Tuesday through Sunday in Waldo.

Entertainment

My Kind Of Festival

Powell Gardens will be transformed into a winter wonderland this Christmas season as it hosts the Festival of Lights.

• Electricity Bill Is Covered: For the 7th time, Powell Gardens will partner with Evergy to put on the Festival of Lights, a walk-through experience where guests will be able to stretch their legs and take in thousands of lights.

• Quixotic In On The Fun: New this year, Quixotic will turn the Conservatory in the Visitor Center into Crystal Chambers, a performance art collective that mixes technology, art, and dance to create an immersive experience.

• Sippin’ & Smilin’: Visitors will be able to enjoy hot apple cider and hot chocolate on their stroll through the grounds as well as finally nail that Christmas card photo at several points along the walk.

The Festival of Lights will be weekly from Wednesday to Sunday from 5-10 pm, starting on November 16th and finishing on December 30th.
