Neighborhood
Lenexa City Center will be a “new downtown” that will contain a broad mix of office, retail, residential, entertainment, and public/institutional uses. These uses will be integrated vertically and horizontally in a true live/work environment with a high level of urban design and architectural quality. Likewise both on-street and structured parking will be built to enhance the urban fabric. Lenexa City Center will contain vibrant public spaces that will serve as gathering areas for the entire community near what will ultimately be the geographic and population center of Lenexa.
Lenexa City Center Neighborhood Developments
The 200-acre neighborhood includes all four corners of the 87th Street Parkway and Renner Boulevard intersection along the west side of the I-435 corridor. At development build-out, the neighborhood is projected to have about 1.4 million square feet (sq ft) of office space; more than 1 million sq ft of retail and entertainment space; 200,000 sq ft of civic space; almost 1,100 hotel rooms; 19 multi-story parking garages; and more than 1,300 residential units, ranging from single-family row homes to condominiums and apartments. (Development Land Use Table)
The city has completed the initial improvements to Renner Boulevard, including new roundabouts and pedestrian sidewalks and crosswalks. In fall 2008, the city will begin a major project to reconstruct 87th Street Parkway into a divided roadway, and eventually will have new mixed-use city blocks built between the new east and westbound lanes.
City Center Lenexa – Located on the southwest corner, the City Center Lenexa development will be built on 69 acres previously purchased by the city.

For the anticipated civic center, the city is working to establish partnerships with Johnson County Community College, Johnson County Park and Recreation District, Johnson County Museum, Johnson County Library, and Shawnee Mission School District. Although submitted as a separate project, construction for a new two-story 112,000 sq ft Lifetime Fitness center is projected to begin due south of City Center Lenexa in the summer of 2008.
