The Kansas City Power & Light District is a dynamic eight-city-block retail, entertainment, office and residential district located in the heart of downtown Kansas City and directly adjacent to the 21,000-seat Sprint Center Arena. A major component of the Power & Light District is Kansas City Live!, a one-block open-air public events plaza that is animated by an eclectic mix of 15 restaurant and entertainment venues. The $850 million district is the largest and most exciting development in the midwestern United States and was the recipient of the Urban Land Institute Award of Excellence in 2009. Since its redevelopment, the Power & Light District has become a source of tremendous community pride and resulted in the wholesale positive change in perceptions regarding downtown Kansas City within the city, the state and the country. The Power & Light District continues to serve as an important catalyst for the further revitalization of downtown Kansas City.
