Development
New Riverfront District to be Named Current Landing
Current Landing
Last Friday, the Kansas City Current unveiled the official name for the highly anticipated waterfront mixed-use district: Current Landing.
Down to the River: Current Landing is anchored by CPKC Stadium and the Missouri River, transforming the area into a vibrant, walkable neighborhood along the water. The district will be connected to downtown Kansas City (and beyond) via the KC Streetcar Riverfront Extension, which is expected to open in early 2026.
Eat, Live, Play: Construction is underway on a 2+ acre town square adjacent to CPKC Stadium, set to open in early spring 2026. The first residences, River's Edge and Confluence, will begin pre-leasing in January 2026, with move-ins available before the 2026 World Cup. Current Landing will feature 10+ new restaurants and bars, with chef announcements starting in January 2026.

Batter Up!: Sandlot Social will be located at 12120 W. 95th St., and features 10 interactive batting suites powered by cutting-edge tracking technology that measures every swing and simulates every hit. A state-of-the-art throwing system delivers real pitches and offers five game modes: Home Run Derby, Batting Practice, Team Battle, Point Game, and Target Practice.
Step Up to the Plate: The venue will also feature a full kitchen and bar, Kansas City’s largest LED screen (11.5ft x 65ft 🤯), event space, and 10-week competitive leagues.
