$100M Revamp of KC’s Country Club Plaza Underway

Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza, an iconic Spanish-styled shopping district, is slated to undergo a long overdue transformation by the property’s new Dallas-based owners.

An affiliate of HP Village Partners, a luxury retail company whose principal owners are descendants of oil tycoon H.L. Hunt, father of Kansas City Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, purchased the retail site for $175.6 million in June. The company plans an additional $100 million infrastructure overhaul of the century-old Midwest shopping and dining district.

HP Village Partners includes Heather and Ray Washburne, and Elisa and Stephen Summers, and the group also owns the luxury retail center Highland Park Village in Dallas. The improvements will include cleanup, repaving streets, storefront upgrades, lighting, landscaping and re-tenanting the center, reported the Dallas Business Journal.

Built in 1922, The Country Club Plaza is 1.3 million square feet and spans 15 blocks. The Plaza’s retail space is 804,000 square feet, and it also has 219,000 square feet of office space.
