The Country Club Plaza, long considered Kansas City’s jewel, is under contract to be sold to a Dallas-based retail company with family ties to H.L. Hunt, the father of Kansas City Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, those close to the deal confirmed to The Star on Wednesday.
The new owners, who are looking to to close on the deal by year’s end, are Ray Washburne and HP Village Partners, owners of Dallas luxury shopping district Highland Park Village, which opened in 1931 and whose Spanish-style architecture is similar to the Plaza’s.
Hopefully they’ll be able to turn around the Plaza’s seeming decline. It’s not bad by any means, but it could definitely use some help.
