Kansas City is entering an exciting new chapter as a major waterfront project begins to take shape beside CPKC Stadium. Less than a year after construction began, the Kansas City Current and its development partners have officially named this new mixed-use district Current Landing.
This project is more than just buildings and restaurants—it is about creating a lively, welcoming neighborhood where sports, community life, and riverfront beauty come together in one place.
With homes, restaurants, public spaces, and entertainment all planned around the Missouri River, Current Landing is set to become one of the most talked-about developments in the Midwest.
What Is Current Landing?
Current Landing is a large waterfront development built next to CPKC Stadium and the Missouri River. The goal is to create a year-round destination where people can live, eat, walk, relax, and celebrate—all in one connected area.
The district will include:
- Waterfront apartments
- More than 10 restaurants and bars
- Public parks and trails
- A large town square for events
- Easy access to transport and downtown Kansas City
This project connects Kansas City’s past as a river city with its future as a modern urban hub.
Vision Behind the Riverfront Neighborhood
According to Angie and Chris Long, co-owners of the Kansas City Current, Current Landing reflects their dream of creating a true riverfront neighborhood. Kansas City was founded near the river, and this project brings people back to that historic space in a fresh and exciting way.
The development partners have also shared that this is a long-term investment meant to benefit future generations, not just today’s fans and visitors.

Today, Current Landing continues that legacy by offering:
