WICHITA, KAN. — Movement Musick has unveiled additional plans regarding its downtown Wichita development, including a new grocery store, expanded community gathering space and the project team. The planned 30,000-square-foot urban market concept is being developed in partnership with the Queen family, one of the founding owners of the Price Chopper brand. In addition to leading the capital investment for construction, Movement Musick has structured the partnership to support the store’s operations through its initial growth period.

Steve Neiger, managing principal at CAST Capital Partners, is co-developing the Cliff, a 100,000-square-foot office-to-retail conversion in Henderson’s Green Valley Ranch submarket.  The project involves the repositioning of a vacant, low-density suburban office property that had struggled to remain competitive as newer product and shifting workplace trends weighed on demand. Rather than pursue a traditional office lease-up or a residential conversion, the development team, which includes Partners Capital, is transforming the site into an open-air retail and dining destination designed to better align with the area’s demographics, accessibility and surrounding residential density.
