The Plaza:
The Country Club Plaza of Kansas City was a remarkable development that opened in 1923. The inspiration came after the developer J.C. Nichols visited Saville, Spain. He transformed an area that had previously been perceived an 'ugly pig farm', into one of the most beautiful areas of Kansas City today. The Plaza was the first shopping experience in the world to accommodate shoppers arriving by automobile. In the spirit of the beauty Nichols gave to this area of the world, along with honoring his innovative spirit, we present the new 'Plaza Model'.
