Less than one year after breaking ground the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) team the Kansas City Current, along with Palmer Square Real Estate Management and Marquee Development, announced recently the official name of their highly anticipated new waterfront mixed-use district: Current Landing.
‘KC’ stated that anchored by the CPKC Stadium and the Missouri River, Current Landing will feature a dynamic blend of elevated waterfront residential living, best-in-class dining, one-of-a-kind sports and community entertainment, and irreplaceable riverfront gathering spaces designed to transform the fan and community experience year-round.
Said Angie and Chris Long, Co-owners of the KC Current, “Current Landing realizes our vision for a true neighborhood on the riverfront – one that blends special residences and incredible restaurants with the most compelling sports and entertainment in our region. Kansas City was founded on its riverfront. Through Current Landing we are proud to welcome a new era of vibrant riverfront experiences for generations of Kansas Citians to come.”
Mukul Sharma, partner at Palmer Square Real Estate, said, “Current Landing affirms our commitment to developing a world-class project that reconnects Kansas Citians to their waterfront. Our team is making a generational investment in Kansas City and we are thrilled to be delivering on our first phase in record speed by Spring 2026.”
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said, “Representing the most exciting development along Kansas City’s riverfront in over a century, Current Landing offers some of the best live, work, and play amenities in the Midwest and is at the center of the future of Kansas City and the center of mixed-use entertainment district development in the United States. Kansas City is proud to be the home of Current Landing and cannot wait to welcome thousands of residents, neighbors and visitors to Kansas City’s most dynamic new neighborhood.”
Construction Commences on Activated Town Square
‘KC’ further stated that the KC Current also announced construction commencement on a 2+ acre, highly activated town square immediately adjacent to the CPKC Stadium. With an expected completion in early Spring 2026, the Current will program this space as a new venue, introducing a revamped match-day experience as well as new events and community activations. The KC Current expects this venue to be highly active during the 2026 World Cup with watch parties and events, as well as year-round curated events.
Residences & Restaurants Delivering Before 2026 World Cup
Additionally, the KC Current announced that pre-leasing for Current Landing’s first residences, River’s Edge and Confluence, will begin in January 2026. First residences will be available for move-in by early spring 2026, and all residences are expected to be available prior to the World Cup.
Among the most highly amenitized residential buildings in Kansas City, River’s Edge and Confluence stand in a unique class of their own. Offering inimitable views of the Missouri River and CPKC Stadium, River’s Edge and Confluence residents will benefit from waterfront living unlike anywhere else in our region. Current Landing pairs residential serenity of riverfront parks and trails with the energy of CPKC Stadium and the KC Current’s new town square. River’s Edge and Confluence will be among the most connected residences in the city, conveniently located next to the Kit Bond Bridge and I-35, and at the terminus of the new KC Streetcar Riverfront Extension.
Current Landing to Deliver Kansas City’s New Culinary Hub
Current Landing will feature 10+ new restaurants and bars, and chef and bar partners will be unveiled beginning in January 2026. Current Landing will quickly become Kansas City’s new culinary hub, blending new concepts from both nationally recognized and locally acclaimed chef partners. The concepts will bring unprecedented culinary innovation to Kansas City’s burgeoning food scene – and will do so in an authentically Kansas City way.
Current Landing is the new heartbeat of Kansas City – an energetic, modern waterfront district where Kansas City’s momentum meets its origins. More than a destination, Current Landing reconnects Kansas Citians to a historic area – where the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers, intersecting trails, railroads, and bridges formed a vital crossroads of cultural and commercial exchange. Today, Current Landing builds on that legacy and spirit of growth with a walkable neighborhood where the riverfront is the heart of community life and daily discovery.
Home to CPKC Stadium, Current Landing brings together sport, culture, entertainment, and daily life in one connected neighborhood that is framed by sweeping riverfront trails, green spaces, and world-class dining. It is a place defined by movement – of people, of ideas, of the city itself. Current Landing is where Kansas City gathers, lives, celebrates, and looks forward.
