The Kansas City Current, in partnership with Palmer Square Capital Management, Marquee Development, and the Port Authority of Kansas City, has unveiled plans for a transformative next phase in the development of Berkley Riverfront Park. This ambitious project aims to connect Kansas Citians with the Missouri Riverfront and enhance the city’s vibrant waterfront district.
Building on the success of CPKC Stadium, the first purpose-built women’s professional sports stadium globally, the new development will create a mixed-use district anchored by the stadium, Berkley Riverfront Park, and the Missouri Riverfront. With over $200 million in private funding, the project will add hundreds of multi-family residential units, public gathering spaces, a riverfront promenade, and recreational areas designed for all Kansas Citians.
The development is expected to break ground in late 2024 and aims for completion by 2026. It will extend Kansas City’s urban fabric to the water’s edge, creating a pedestrian-friendly haven for residents, fans, and visitors.
Angie Long, co-founder and co-owner of the KC Current, expressed enthusiasm for the project’s potential to reconnect the city with its riverfront and bring added vitality to the area. Chris Long, co-founder and co-owner, highlighted the global trend towards embracing waterfront development and the aspiration to create an exceptional experience for Kansas City.

Jon Stephens, President & CEO of Port KC, celebrated the re-energization of the Kansas City Riverfront and the partnership with the KC Current to create a walkable, diverse, and exciting public space.
Marquee Development will serve as Co-Master Developer alongside the Kansas City Current, bringing expertise from notable sports-adjacent mixed-use districts. Perkins Eastman has been engaged as the Architect, recognized for their work on world-class waterfront projects and transit-integrated mixed-use districts.
This visionary expansion of Berkley Riverfront Park is poised to transform the Kansas City Riverfront, enhance its appeal as a destination, and further establish the city as a leader in waterfront redevelopment.
