Development

Port KC & KC Current Reveal a Reimagined Riverfront

Port KC

The riverfront is about to change…again. On Monday, Port KC & the KC Current revealed the master plan for the Berkley Riverfront.

  • Riverfront Renaissance: For years, leaders in Kansas City have sought to reconnect the city with the Missouri Riverfront. Now with the help of KC Current co-owners Chris and Angie Long, an $800 million transformation of 10+ acres next to CPKC Stadium is becoming a reality.

  • Live, Work, Play (Soccer): In addition to the current construction of the Two Birds, One Stone Beer Garden, and Origin Hotel, the next wave of development would bring 2 million square feet of development and 1,000 multifamily residential units.

Phase I of the development is expected to begin at the end of 2024, with completion planned before the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Kansas City.
