After years of a hold on development at the Branson Landing because of litigation, HCW Development, LLC, submitted plans to the city of Branson for more retail space on the north end of the property.

HCW CEO Rick Huffman said the company can now develop because a lawsuit involving the land was settled in St. Louis County court.

Were really busy right now, he said. Its very good to be busy.

HCW is planning for the development of 29,000 square feet of retail space, Huffman said.

That is out to bid as we speak; plans have been turned in to the city for building permits, Huffman said. Were waiting for comments, but I would anticipate probably a late September start date with the completion in May.

HCW is looking for new tenants for the three buildings and Huffman said HCW has received letters of intent from several interested parties.

Demand for retail space at the Landing has been high, he said.

This space is obviously not in the heart of the Landing, but its on the north end and it will have new stores in it, Huffman said. And we added some parking.

Huffman said roughly 130 parking spots will be added. He wont know how many stores will be in the space until he knows how much space retailers will require.
