CBC Real Estate Group is still looking for the “right fit” for developer opportunities at Roeland Park’s old pool site, now known as The Rocks.
Roeland Park has been looking into avenues to develop the site, which the city owns, since 2015. In early 2017, the city signed a letter of intent with a developer hoping to bring a project to The Rocks. Also in 2017, Roeland Park approved the creation of a new hotel tax in anticipation of a hotel being part of the development.
At a worksession Monday, CBC’s Jason Glasrud told the city council he’s been working to attract a hotel, full-service restaurant and bar, and extreme sports venue.
Glasrud said the site vision leverages the “unique natural environment of the limestone quarry” featuring rock as a major design element. Glasrud said the Quarry Park Adventures site in Rocklin, Calif., was an example of what The Rocks could look like after it was fully developed.
