North Landing set for May 2015 completion

Construction is underway at the north end of Branson Landing where HCW Development, LLC, is adding new retail space.

HCW CEO Rick Huffman said its still uncertain what retailers may fill the space.

The tenants that we have, Im still under nondisclosure, he said. Theyre still working out various kinks.

The new 29,000 square feet of retail space will allow for an undetermined number of tenants, Huffman said. The amount of space each store requires will determine how many stores fill the three buildings.

Huffman said roughly 130 parking spots will also be added.

Huffman said there is good diversity of retail stores among interested parties, noting some restaurants could move in.

The estimated cost of construction is $1.5 million.

HCW was able to move ahead with further development after a lawsuit was settled over the ownership of the property.

HCW and the city of Branson has been involved in litigation with Douglas Coverdell and Coverdell Enterprises, Inc., since 2003.

The city and HCW also had lawsuits against insurance companies for their failure to cover legal costs protecting both entities claims to the land.
