The area is the former home of Municipal Stadium, where the Chiefs and the Royals played until the 1970s. It is just blocks away from the 18th and Vine historic jazz district.
The new plan, called the Vine Street District, calls for the construction of 550 residential units, 50,000 sf to be used for retail and commercial space and 16,000 sf for office space. The project is a partnership among the Black Economic Union, Bank of America and a community group called Move Up. Construction is expected to cost about $42 million.
At the site where old Municipal Stadium sat, plans call for the construction of 52 single-family residences. Loft apartments will be built along 22nd Street. The project encompasses about 96 acres. The plan is following the idea of new urbanism, where a complete neighborhood is created in a small area and where services and amenities can be reached within five minutes. In the plan, 90% of the residences, retail, commercial, parks, three public schools and two churches will be within the core of the neighborhood.
