$138M Tuscany Village Fills Retail Need

ST. JOSEPH, MO-Ground breaks on JSC Development's 550,000-sf lifestyle center known as Tuscany Village. Despite the project's close proximity to a power center, incoming tenants are expected offer further shopping options in this growing community.

ST. JOSEPH, MO-Locally based JSC Development has broken ground on the $138-million, 550,000-sf lifestyle center known as Tuscany Village in this community north of Kansas City. Located on the southwest quadrant of Interstate 29 and US Route 169, the five-phase project will include big-box and in-line retailers, freestanding restaurant and pad sites, a hotel site and a potential convention center.

Mark Levin, retail investment specialist with the center’s leasing firm, Kansas City-based Block & Co. Inc., tells GlobeSt.com that there has been much interest in the project. Declining from estimating a prelease occupancy, Levin says there will be more to tell after the annual International Council of Shopping Centers’ dealmaking event in Las Vegas next week. There, Levin says, the company is meeting with a national book seller, a fashion retailer and a sporting goods company, among others.

Levin assures that tenants selected for Tuscany Village will not compete with the adjacent power center North Village Shops; a retail development anchored by Best Buy, Border’s, Michael’s, Bed, Beth & Beyond, Old Navy, Kohl’s, Dress Barn, Target, Pier 1 and a Sam’s Club. Rather, early commitments for Tuscany Village have come from a major department store, a big-box fashion retailer, a hotel group, several restaurant concepts and multiple smaller in-line users, Levin says.
