A rendering of the proposed STREETS AT METCALF mixed-use complex that was supposed to have replaced METCALF SOUTH CENTER. This plan was abandoned in 2008, primarily due to The Great Recession.

A squabble between a new developer and Overland Park city planners slammed the brakes on CENTRAL SQUARE, a second redevelopment plan for the moribund METCALF SOUTH mall. This project was abandoned in 2015.

As they say, the third time's a charm. Here we see the Lowe's-anchored power center that (finally) replaced METCALF SOUTH CENTER. Plans for this redevelopment were approved in late 2016, with mall demolition getting underway in April 2017. Stores in the shiny new 95 METCALF SOUTH power center opened in 2018.
