Lord of the Castle

There is an amazing amount of new construction going on here in Overland Park. I mean, nearly everywhere you look, they are building houses, apartments, major retail and office sites. There are several large fields that have heavy equipment reshaping the landscape for still more new construction.

The puzzling thing is that there are “For Lease” or “For Sale” signs at nearly EVERY commercial property. And that is not much of an exaggeration. There are several 6-10 story office buildings that stand uncompleted and it looks like work has stopped. However, that hasn’t slowed the new construction. It is almost like very open field has to have something built by tomorrow!

I don’t get it.
