Our Mission // To adapt the HISTORIC LANDMARK of Kemper Arena as a DESTINATION connecting both Kansas City neighborhoods through the encouragement of HEALTH and LIFE CARE.
The neighborhood of Westbottoms holds some of most history of the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Dating back to the Mid-1800’s, the reputation behind this district involves a rural and rustic landscape far before the explosion of what is downtown Kansas City today. The Westbottoms has gradually lost some of its popularity over the years due to that urban growth of downtown, and taking a major hit is that of the Kemper Arena. Originally opened in order to house all major sporting events brought to the KC area, the arena has become overshadowed by the new developments happening a few blocks away. In hopes to re-establish some of the ground lost, this project will re-introduce sports to the Westbottoms, as well as create a center for health, providing clinics and therapy spaces. By the year 2025, Kemper Arena will act as a destination for those on both sides of the Kansas-Missouri state line.
