DOWNTOWN
MASTER PLAN
Van Buren
Van Buren will act as the spine for a new residential neighborhood with retail nodes at key corners. Numerous underutilized properties and parking lots provide great sites for new upscale apartments. These high quality buildings will “raise the bar” for downtown housing and provide amenities and quality that cannot be found elsewhere in the city. Young professionals will value being in an active urban environment, close to the shops and amenities along Kansas Avenue.
- New residential construction
- Younger professionals focus – closer to action
- Pedestrian / bike connection to river
- State – development partner
- Grocery anchor
