Circuit City failed Nationwide. Its midway between I-29 and I-35 along the 152 corridor. When Costco bailed years ago in the Northland indoor malls were going down for the count. Tenants were bailing on Metro North Mall and Jones Penny's Ward had pulled the plug. Cell phone and wig outlets started to fill vacancy then it closed. I would imagine that weighed in on the decision to wait. Zona and much of the Liberty corridor was taking longer to develop mostly because infrastructure wasn't in place yet. Particularly water and sewer that was on KC diverting money elsewhere the bonds had been voted on and passed.
The Charles F Curry Company owned much of the land along 152 and I 435 long before they were even built all the way to I 29 and north to 291 hwy. When he died most that land was purchased by the LDS Church. I took part in the surveys of the land purchased by the LDS. One of the funnest surveys I worked on near 300,000 Ac if memory serves me correctly.
