Overland Park has given Brookridge’s developers a better chance to max out an incentive for the $2 billion mixed-use project at the former golf course and fitness club property. Under its redevelopment deal with the city, Curtin Property Co. was cleared to receive up to $36 million through a 1.5% sales tax imposed via a community improvement district (CID) that will span 101.8 acres southeast of 103rd Street and Antioch Road. Site plans have depicted a combination of retail, residential, office and hotel uses within that area — a portion of the expansive stretch of projects approved in December 2019 across the 212-acre site, north of Interstate 435.
