Request for Proposals - North River Site

Request Details Closing Date: Fri, 11/06/2026 04:00 PM EST Request Response Information: On November 19, 2025, Mayor Sharon Tucker announced PB Development, the development affiliate of Price
Brothers, as the master developer for the North River District. Known for large-scale, transformative projects,
including Kansas City’s Bluhawk sports complex in Overland Park, PB Development was selected from a
competitive list of 20 submissions for its experience in mixed-use planning, equitable economic outcomes,
and public engagement. In June of this year, Redevelopment staff, along with PB Development, met with Gehl, a
renowned planning firm known for its people-centric, data-informed approach to public realm strategies, to review
the site and surrounding properties and help develop a conceptual feasibility site plan, which appears on page 9.
Redevelopment has also selected Kemper to operate the fieldhouse. Redevelopment will also issue a Request for
Proposals (RFP) later this year to engage a Construction Manager as Contractor (CMc). The selected consultants
will work closely with Redevelopment, PB Development, Kemper, and the CMc on this project.
As part of the Redevelopment’s initiative for this area, we are seeking a site design and engineering team to
develop a site plan for the fieldhouse and a streetscape design that builds on Gehl’s feasibility site plan, to create
a place residents and tourists choose to visit, and accommodates future development. The site design and
engineering will be broken up into two (2) anticipated phases.Along with site design and engineering, Redevelopment is also seeking an architecture firm to design a first-class
160,000-square-foot fieldhouse and 600-space parking garage. Both site design and architectural teams must
demonstrate experience with similar projects and a unique design approach to sustainability and universal design.
