Independence s 11,000 (and growing) residents support strong retail corridors primarily located along Interstate 0 (east and west), Highway and Noland Road (north and south). Construction has started on a major housing development - New Town at Harmony. The 130-acre New Town master development is located east of the Little Blue River and north of 39th Street. The first phase of this estimated 20-year, $1 billion project, will include a 130-acre planned mixed-use neighborhood. Greg Whittaker, developer of the first phase, expects to add approximately 600 new homes and new retail initially, while later phases anticipate expanding the development to 600 acres and 3,000 new homes. As expected, new retailers are chasing the stability and strength of the existing retail base and future population growth. Menards is building a 162,000-square-foot store at the NEC of I-0 and Little Blue Parkway, which has spurred ancillary development, including a Quik Trip and 1 or more new restaurants. Main Event, a 50,000-square-foot family entertainment venue, opened its first Kansas City metro location at the Falls at Crackerneck Creek - part of the Bass Pro development that also features the new Stoney Creek hotel and several new retailers and restaurants including Cheddar s, Slim Chickens, Los Cabos and Pizza Ranch. Independence Center Mall continues to serve as a retail hub for all of Eastern Jackson County, and cemented its status by adding a new Dick s Sporting Goods store as its 4th anchor. DDR s highly successful 402,903-square-foot Independence Commons power center, located across from the Independence Center Mall, has backfilled its rare vacancies by adding Old Chicago and a freestanding Starbucks Café.

One of Lee s Summit s major assets its renowned public schools has led to population and employment growth - making the city a top Kansas City retail sub-market. The I-40/Highway 50 intersection serves as a hub of national retail for Lee s Summit. Summit Fair, located east of Highway 50, offers primarily main-street and lifestyle retail, while Summit Woods Crossing, located west of Highway 50, serves as a traditional (and very successful) power center. Dick s Sporting Goods will move from a 30,000-square-foot store at Summit Woods to an expanded 50,000-square-foot store in Summit Fair, and will be joined by H&M. No tenant has been announced to backfill the DSG space at Summit Woods. Fiorella s Jack Stack Barbeque opened at Summit Woods last year and exceeded sales projections to become one of the highest grossing restaurants in the Kansas City metro. Summit Place will be the 3rd leg of regional retail at this interchange and will be anchored by a planned 0,000-squarefoot Cabela s and a Sam s Club. Townsend Capital and NorthPoint Development have announced a mixed-use project - Summit Orchards located east of Summit Fair, which will add a 90-room Holiday Inn Express Hotel along with a 300+ unit multi-family apartment project and 100,000-square-foot of retail and restaurant space. Groundbreaking is expected in Q3, 2016. Downtown Lee s Summit is benefiting from strong redevelopment initiatives that boost its already desirable setting for specialty retail. New downtown tenants include Third Street Social, the Exit Room and Llywelyn s Pub, while Grains & Taps is expanding.

Highway serves as a thriving commercial corridor in the heart of Lee s Summit, with a high level of recent grocery, retail, restaurant and convenience store activity. Sprouts Farmer s Market, Andy s Custard, and At Home added stores, while HyVee expanded and remodeled. Price Chopper opened its 3rd Lee s Summit store at Todd George Road and Highway 50 with several supporting restaurants and retailers. Walmart plans to add its 2nd Lee s Summit location near the NWC of Highway and Highway 150. Planning continues for the 300+ acre mixed-use Paragon Star development on the north side of I-40 between View High Drive and Pryor Road. The project is being developed along the 1-mile Rock Island Railroad corridor that is expected to link to Missouri s Katy Trail State Park. The initial phase of the project will include 10 artificial-turf soccer, rugby, and lacrosse fields and a proposed village containing a 120-room hotel, a 220-unit apartment project, 100,000-square-foot of Class A office space, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, and biking & hiking trails. The Paragon Star Soccer Village recently secured TIF and CID public incentives from the City of Lee s Summit. Play on the fields is expected to begin in the fall of 201. BLUE SPRINGS Inventory 2,322,8 SF 2,332,8 SF Vacancy 8.40%.60% Average Rent $12.66 PSF $12.63 Blue Springs is the th largest city in greater Kansas City, and boosts some of the area s strongest residential and commercial growth. This growth spurred the development of the 561,000-square-foot Adams Dairy Landing on the northeast side of the Blue Springs trade area (SEC of I-0 and Adams Dairy Parkway) in 2009. The center, anchored by Target, Kohl s, Gordmans, TJMaxx and others, is now reaching full occupancy, with new tenants, including Payless Shoes Superstore, Lane Bryant and Bath & Body Works opening within the last year. Some observers believed Adams Dairy Landing s development might permanently harm Blue Springs traditional retail node centered around Highway and Highway 40. This dense and heavily-trafficed area has seen a strong resurgence with the most notable new project being the White Oak Marketplace (SWC of Highway and Highway 40). White Oak Marketplace kicks off its first phase this fall with a new 85,000-square-foot Price Chopper grocery store, and attached 10,000 square feet of retail space. Phases II and III will include additional small shop retail spaces with build-to-suit opportunities and restaurant pad sites, along with a proposed senior residential community. Quik Trip is reportedly building one of its new generation prototype stores at the NWC of Highway and Highway 40, and additional retail is expected to join this project. This will be QuikTrip s 4th store in Blue Springs. Downtown Alive! is a grass roots nonprofit organization, dedicated to the revitalization of downtown Blue Springs. Their initiatives include Buy Blue Springs promoting local retail business, an on-going beautification drive, and special events, such as a farmers market, Corks and Canvas, car cruise nights and the Fall Fun Festival.

featured PROJECT INDEPENDENCE CENTER Shoppers in Eastern Jackson County have made Independence Center their destination for holiday and back to school shopping since 194, when it was built by Sears Homart division. Today, Independence Center is one of the two remaining super-regional enclosed malls in Kansas City (which at one time boasted 12 enclosed malls). The 86,000-square-foot center, located on the NEC of I-0 and I-40, is anchored by Macy s, Sears, Dillard s and a new Dick s Sporting Goods. Simon Property Group purchased the mall in 1994 and did a major $20 million renovation in 1996. Simon added exterior-facing shop space in 2014 featuring tenants like Applebee s and Noodles and Company. SPG has continued to invest in Independence Center to keep it relevant with current retail trends. Today the mall is thriving with the opening of eight new tenants in 2015 and three in 2016. The recent addition of Dick s Sporting Goods was seen as an affirmation of Independence Center s status as a regional retail destination. According to the retailer s spokesperson, Dick s Sporting Goods was excited to move to Independence Center, a high energy mall that we felt was a great fit. We re excited to be an anchor store in an already successful mall. SPG indicates that they are planning several further improvements to the mall, including adding additional square footage to the exterior of the mall by building two 8,000 sf. pop out buildings attached to the Macy s. This new square footage will allow tenants to have exterior signage facing 39th street. They hope to attract fast casual restaurants and a few retailers. Construction is TBD and is based on tenant interest. in the NEWS WHAT IS s u m m i t t e c h campus? Q&A with JEFF HANEY Jeff grew up and attended high school in Lee s Summit. He now heads the development of Lee s Summit s largest retail projects Summit Woods Crossing, Summit Fair and Summit Place. Married: Amanda Children: Gracyn, 10; Saylor, 3 Career: Executive Vice President of Development, RED Development land in Lee s Summit, and in 1985, I found a piece of ground to list and put my sign on it. It took one year to make a deal, but back then brokers on land sales got a 10% commission! Arguably Lee s Summit s most important business hub, with 1 million square feet of office and hi-tech space all under one roof. Located at NW Blue Parkway - 1 mile from Summit Woods and Summit Fair shopping centers, the Summit Technology Campus (STC) houses more than 5,000 employees to companies such as AT&T, Waddel & Reed, State Farm Insurance, Cerner, and CVS CareMark In addition, STC is also home to the Summit Technology Academy (STA), a learning center where high school students can attend special courses in subjects such as science, technology, engineering and math. Cerner recently made a $528 million investment in the north building on the STC STC recently broke ground on a wide variety of spinoff development activity, including multifamily, hotel and big-box retail projects The new STA/Missouri Innovation Campus, located on 15 acres, is underway and scheduled to open in August 201 6 Colliers International Kansas City 4520 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 816 531 5303 colliers.com How do you enjoy spending time outside of work? I try to get as much family time as possible we love to swim and I golf and hunt when time permits. I m also going to Ireland in a few months! How did you first get involved in real estate? During high school, I lived in Lakewood when the subdivision was first starting. My Mom sold real estate and I worked for a number of home builders. A buddy and I started a business, M&H Tieworks, hauling and installing railroad ties. We lugged them around in a 54 Chevy pickup. What was your first real estate deal? I was working at the commercial land department at Eugene D. Brown with Lath Backstrom. He hired me to investigate raw How did you make the transition from brokerage to development? Even while I was doing brokerage, I was a jack-of-all trades. I worked with the Tutera Group while they were building shopping centers and learned from that process. I did the same thing with Jim Harpool on Hartman Heritage and on Manhattan Marketplace. I really learned a lot from Jim. At RED, I started on the leasing side at Summit Fair, but transitioned to full time development after a few years. What s your favorite part of the business? Definitely the networking with great people. We re lucky in KC that even though we re often competing, everybody really likes each other. We have a good group of developers and brokers here. What s the major lesson you ve learned during your career? Two lessons: 1. Carl LaSala taught me to return every phone call, even if it seems fruitless, because you never know if it could be useful later. That s really sound advice. 2. learn from adversity and be tenacious without going overboard. Deals that people think happened overnight have been in the works for years. I once called on a property for the first time in 1985 and sold it 1 years later! What advice would you give somebody starting in the industry today? It can be a fun, exciting business when you meet all kinds of interesting people, but it always changes. If it s great now, it won t always be, so make sure you can handle the downturn. But the downturns always change too it always comes back.
