Site plans for new developments - click below

Liberty's Science & Technology Park is envisioned for location along one of Liberty's main corridors such as Heartland Meadows at I-35 & 69 Highway or along I-35 & South Liberty Parkway.  The Partnership, with the help of KCP&L, contracted with GBA to develop conceptual drawings for the Park.  The City of Liberty is working with Hallmark for a location in Heartland Meadows.  The Park would provide a shovel-ready location for life sciences and high tech companies.  Aggressive incentives and competitive land prices are negotiable.

Barry Pointe Promenade is located on the west side of I-35 in the City of Kansas City, consisting of 18 acres slated for 124,000 square feet of retail.   It is strategically located south of Wal-Mart and several hotels and across the street from the area's premier Ford dealership.   Click here to see the site plan.

Blackberry is a development which has completed the approval process in the City of Liberty.  Now all we need is you!  Blackberry is a mixed-use development which will include residential, retail and office.  Its location is great - right next to the Liberty Community Center on Withers Road.  Withers Road is the main feeder street to and from the new South Liberty Parkway which connects to I-35.  To see more information about Blackberry, click here to open its website.

Liberty Pointe is a mixed-use development just recently approved by the City Council.  The first phase is senior housing.  Phase II will include shopping and dining.  The mixed-use zoning would allow many business uses.  The site is at the corner of Withers Drive and the new South Liberty Parkway which serves as an arterial street to I-35.  It is projected to see 16,000 cars per day.

Liberty Triangle is a development that is currently underway.  This retail area is already enjoying success with national tenants such as Texas Roadhouse, Starbuck's, Red Robin and Planet Sub.  It is located at I-35 and MO 152 with some of the highest traffic counts in the area.  To see more information about the Shoppes at Liberty Triangle, click here to open its web site.

Whitehall Station will be a regional shopping destination located at the convergence of I-35, Highway 69 and South Liberty Parkway.  Close to 70 acres will develop into almost 700,000 square feet lifestyle center.  Local developer, Ferguson Properties, has partnered with national developer CBL & Associates.  CBL also owns Oak Park Mall in Overland Park.
