The parent company of clothing and home products retailer Urban Outfitters plans to build a new, 880,000-square-foot distribution center in Kansas City, Kansas, state and local officials announced Wednesday.

The new URBN center will be near the Legends entertainment and shopping district and NASCAR's Kansas Speedway and close to the junction of Interstates 70 and 435. The center is expected to create nearly 2,000 new jobs and represents a $350 million investment

This urban outfitters should go in the Southwest corner of State streets and N118th street, right across the street from the American royal property west of the Racetrack.

There are 2 more amazon distribution warehouse planned - 1 At the old woodlands dog track (Project Superbowl) and one that is in the southeast corner near Belton (Project fairway)
