PROJECT RESOURCES
After years of neglect under out-of-state private equity ownership, the third-largest enclosed mall in Kansas needed a vision that honored its retail roots while introducing new demand drivers.
- STEP 01
Advise Advisors Excel on the redevelopment vision and mixed-use repositioning.
- STEP 02
Integrate Advisors Excel's new corporate headquarters, bringing 1,000+ teammates and daily traffic to the property.
- STEP 03
Build on existing regional draw, 5,000+ trips on a typical Saturday, 13% from outside the Topeka market.
- STEP 04
Apply the RedBird playbook on phasing, tenant mix, and public realm.
The rebirth of a major community asset, positioned as northeast Kansas' premier place to work, shop, dine, and gather.
A Kansas landmark returned to strong local ownership, with an employer headquarters anchoring the property and a thousand people on site every day.
