The Kansas City Power &
Light District is a vibrant, new eight-block neighborhood in
the heart of downtown Kansas City that is redefining the
City from its skyline to its sidewalks. The District links
together the renovated Bartle Hall Convention Center, the
new Sprint Center, offices, hotels, entertainment, cultural
destinations and residential developments. The $850 million
mixed-use District anchors $5 billion of complimentary
development efforts in downtown Kansas City. The combination
of entertainment, retail, nightlife and residential with the
District's imaginative and innovative design, has created an
intriguing 24/7 neighborhood.
The Kansas City Power & Light District features some of the
country's premier operators such as Gordon Biersch Brewery,
Mosaic Lounge, McFadden's Sports Saloon, Lucky Strike Lanes,
Famous Dave's Barbecue, Jos. A. Bank, Raglan Road Irish Pub
and Vinino Wine Bar & Bistro. Many great local
establishments also have a home in the District, including
Bristol Seafood Grill, The Peachtree Restaurant and
ChefBurger. The many tastes, flavors and entertainment
options of the District make each visit an enchanting
experience. On the corner of Main and 13th Streets, downtown
Kansas City's first grocery store, Cosentino's Downtown
Gourmet Market, prepares to open in Fall 2008. Across the
street from the market, the historic Midland Theatre
transforms into a charming 3,000 capacity live music venue
that will open its doors in late summer. Just down Main
Street, the historic Mainstreet Theater, AMC’s flagship
arts movie theater, undergoes a significant revitalization
before it opens its door in late fall. Live entertainment is
a frequent happening in the District, especially in KC Live!
