KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A developer released the first images for a new restaurant and entertainment district.

Pennway Point will feature a “family-friendly entertainment and experiential district, spanning six acres of the former Carter-Waters industrial site at the intersection of Pershing and Pennway,” firm DAVINCI KC stated.

It will include:

  • BARREL HALL: A 6,000-square-foot reclaimed building, to serve as a central gathering space with a collection of some of Kansas City’s favorite food and beverage brands. Some of those are Boulevard Brewery’s Barrel Aged Tasting Experience and Taproom, Würstl, Chef J BBQ and The Bull Creek Distillery.
  • TALEGATE: An indoor/outdoor experience of 30,000+ square feet. Chuck and Jack Naylor of the Brooksider Sportsbar and Harpo’s Columbia will manage and operate each TALEGATE concept as the exclusive licensee partner, including Beef & Bottle, Funk House and Talegate Park.
  • LUMI NEON ALLEY: A collection of more than 50 of Kansas City’s vintage neon signs that will be displayed in a walkable “alley” between buildings.
  • OBSERVATION WHEEL: A 150-foot tall Ferris wheel and mini golf experience by Icon Experiences.

“DAVINCI KC is excelling in identifying exceptional brands to build concepts around and executing an ideal lease arrangement through the forward-thinking hard work of Dante and DJ,” Pennway Point developer Vince Bryant said in a release.

Walkable access will connect Pennway Point to Union Station and the Crossroads, via a proposed future Greenline trailhead.
