Port KC

Over the past 70 years, Kansas City has tried to fill its empty riverfront with a baseball stadium, an aquarium, an office park and a marina. Now, the Berkley Riverfront is finally getting a makeover, centered around the new Current stadium.

Port KC and the Kansas City Current women's soccer team unveiled renderings this week for a new neighborhood next to CPKC Stadium, along Berkley Riverfront.

A main criticism of Kansas City's various tax incentive programs is that developers are able to shop around agencies for a deal. That appeared to be the case when a Waldo housing development applied for tax incentives from the Port Authority after being rejected for incentives by the Ride KC Development Corp.

A 251-unit residential project at Berkley Riverfront is moving forward without tax exemptions months after the Port Authority of Kansas City Commission heard criticisms about St. Louis developer Lux Living.

Port KC has approved the Origin Hotel with an exemption of roughly 62% of its total property tax over 20 years. Kansas City Public Schools called it an “inappropriate ask.”

Costs for the stadium, which will be the first in the country built for a national women's soccer league team, have grown to $117 million. The lease agreement with Port KC prohibits the owners from seeking local tax incentives.

As details emerge about Lux Living’s legal battles and complaints from its St. Louis property residents, Port Authority members gave a nod to the embattled developer. But one council member isn’t convinced.

When a Port Authority of Kansas City committee meets Monday afternoon to discuss a major proposed apartment project at Berkley Riverfront, its members may have to consider whether the project’s developer was forthcoming in disclosures about its past.

Rebranded as the KC Current, women’s professional soccer will have a new home built just for them.
