Getting There

Getting to and from Current Landing just got a lot easier, as the KC Streetcar Riverfront Extension now allows passengers to travel to the riverfront by rail for the first time. The 0.7-mile extension includes more than 8,300 feet of new track, along with new traffic signals, sidewalks, and curbs.

Serving as a “front door” to Berkley Riverfront, the new CPKC Pavilion canopy is an enhanced end-of-the-line station outside CPKC Stadium, complete with an artistic metal canopy, enhanced passenger boarding areas, and sculptural lighting, all designed by Burns & McDonnell and Zahner and inspired by the movement and flow of the Missouri River.

The signature public space also includes new bus pads and shelters to improve transportation options for all residents.

“Partnerships like this are exactly how we continue to transform Kansas City’s riverfront into a vibrant, connected destination,” says Jon Stephens, president and CEO of Port KC. “The new end-of-the-line stop will not only connect people to the riverfront, but it will also create a true sense of arrival and place for everyone coming to experience all that this area has to offer.”

Living There

Two new multifamily developments in Current Landing are delivering that front-row waterfront view to hundreds of new residents. The River’s Edge Residences (facing the river) and Confluence Residences (facing the skyline) are helping to create a true neighborhood on the riverfront—rather than simply a sports destination—by embedding residents into a larger ecosystem that includes fine dining, entertainment, and public spaces.

Developed by Palmer Square Real Estate Management and Marquee Development, the properties offer studio apartments to two-bedroom townhomes, and many options in between. While each has its own personality, both properties focus on elevated living, hospitality-grade amenities, and curated tenant experiences, and elements like typography, color palette, and layout tie back to the broader Current Landing identity. Three resident lounges include sweeping views of both the river and CPKC Stadium, and the interiors are thoughtfully designed for hosting and entertaining. It’s all about creating a thriving life on the riverfront, says Carmen Thomas, principal designer and co-owner of Tran+Thomas Design Studio, which led the interior design work in both residences.

“Features like amenity decks overlooking the river, access to a town square right outside CPKC Stadium’s gates, and all its daily activation, as well as proximity to parks and gathering spaces, reinforce the idea that the riverfront is the heart of community life, a core principle of Current Landing. … This design and district will raise the bar for Kansas City in a place where the city’s momentum is on display.”

Staying There

Opened in 2024, the 118-room Origin Hotel Kansas City became the first hotel on the riverfront. The vibrant boutique hotel offers many popular amenities—a fitness center, complimentary bike rentals (perfect for the walking path along the south bank of the river), and three event and meeting spaces with incredible views, as well as plenty of nods to Kansas City, not only in the design of the rooms and lobby but also the local products in the gift shop and locally inspired art throughout the building.

Guests are greeted in the lobby by a cozy fireplace and pool table, while the on-site restaurant, Show Pony, offers creative cocktails and farm-to-table dining, including homemade pastas, locally sourced proteins, and scratch-made desserts. Plus, it’s a short walk to the CPKC Stadium on game day!

Eating, Etc.

Whether you’re a fan, resident, or just a casual visitor, Current Landing is designed to be a walkable and approachable neighborhood, full of inviting dining and drinking options.
