Phase 1 features one remaining pad site with the flexibility to accommodate a drive-thru, creating a strong opportunity for quick-service concepts or specialty retail. Phase 2 is actively targeting restaurants, retail, and entertainment operators to complement the development and serve a dynamic consumer base. Dillons is breaking ground this month and is expected to open next year, perfectly timed for the start of the first semester. Positioned along Iowa Street, a major thoroughfare with more than 32,000 cars per day, this site offers exceptional visibility and accessibility. The property sits adjacent to the University of Kansas campus, home to more than 30,000 students and staff, ensuring a steady flow of daily traffic and demand. In addition, over 250 employees are based at the nearby KU Research Park, adding to the daytime population. The area also includes more than 6,000 on-campus residents concentrated around 19th Street, creating a strong built-in customer base for dining, retail, and leisure uses. This is a prime location for operators seeking to capitalize on a vibrant, high-traffic environment rich with students, faculty, and surrounding community activity.
