Port KC Approves Deal for New Plaza Apartments

As the sale of the Country Club Plaza to HP Village Partners LP is set to close this Friday, developers are already jumping on the opportunity to develop the area.

  • Port to Plaza: Port KC has approved $362 million in bonds for two apartments at the intersection of Madison Ave. and 47th St, which is currently a vacant corner. The project will also rehab the Plaza Corporate Center across the street.

  • Seeing Double: The first project is The Madison (pictured above), a 279-unit apartment building that would be built on the vacant corner. The second includes the renovation of the 1970s-era Plaza Corporate Center as well as a new building just to the north.

Developers plan to begin construction in 2025.
