Maefield Development of Indianapolis selected Darland over three Kansas City builders to build Olathe Pointe, located just east of I-35 in Olathe, Kansas. In May, Darland began construction of the lifestyle shops, consisting of local boutiques, restaurants and casual eateries in an open-air setting. Last month, Darland began construction of the inline stores, which will house large national retailers.

According to Paul Pruitt of Maefield Development, Darland presented the best approach to meet the aggressive schedule and to complete the project successfully.

When completed, Olathe Pointe will also include 10 outlots that have been committed to a variety of restaurants, banks and other stand-alone retailers. The development will feature an elaborate courtyard to host outdoor dining and public events. Convenient parking and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks constructed of decorative pavers will invite shoppers to stroll along the retail experience. Decorative street lights, flowering pots, and banners further will enhance the environment. Immersed in a nostalgic retail environment, richly landscaped with highly detailed architecture, shoppers will take time to shop, relax and enjoy the environment.

Located at the intersection of two main arterials, 119th Street and Blackbob Road, Olathe Pointe is uniquely positioned to benefit from the sustained growth occurring in Johnson County, Kansas. For over a decade, Olathe and Johnson County have led the metropolitan area in population and employment growth, consistently adding 10,000 new residents and 12,000 new jobs annually.

Darland is proud to be involved with this unique project and would like to thank Maefield Development for their trust.
