The City of Lee’s Summit and LANE4 Property Group, the master developer for the Downtown Market Plaza, have announced GLMV Architecture (GLMV) as the master architect for the redevelopment project located near SE Green Street and SE Third Street in the heart of downtown Lee's Summit, Mo.
City Council approved an amended development structure agreement during its meeting on January 4, 2022. Other named project partners include associate architect, Collins | Webb Architecture; structural engineer, Leigh O'Kane; and civil engineer, Olsson.
GLMV will perform a physical site analysis, which will include existing infrastructure, utilities, site structures and topography. Preliminary design efforts will begin immediately on the mixed-use project, followed by a public input process on the various concepts. The preliminary master plan will consist of public and private components.
Conceptual public components include a permanent farmers market, flexible indoor space, outdoor performance and festival area, art and water features and pedestrian areas. Conceptual private components include a boutique hotel, multifamily residential complex and retail/restaurant space.
“The selection of GLMV allows our team, as master developer, to further explore and evaluate the physical capabilities of the site. This will help us move forward with the various uses we are trying to accommodate in a cohesive way,” said Brandon Buckley, vice president of LANE4. “GLMV will bring a fresh and creative point of view to the project, along with their breadth of experience designing innovative multi-faceted projects.”
Similar GMLV projects include the Independence Uptown Market, Wichita State University’s Innovation Campus master plan and the Kay McFarland Japanese Garden and Event Center.
