The city of Riverside, Missouri finalized a master development agreement yesterday with a unit of Briarcliff Development for the 'Horizons' site at I-635 and Hwy 9. The master plan (see above) was designed in conjunction with BNIM Architects and is comprised of 1.1 million square feet of office space set in a series of tree-lined canals along with 1.5 million square feet of industrial space. Riverside, with its relatively sizable tax income from casino earnings, has spend millions over the past several years on infrastructure, including a large levee to prepare the site for development. Briarcliff is now the 6th developer since 2002 to attempt development of the site, but with its highly successful retail and office experience in the Northland, Briarcliff may just have the right combination of skills and knowledge to turn this blank canvas into a crown jewel for Kansas City as a whole.
