Clock Tower Landing Project - City of Overland Park, Kansas

Clock Tower Landing Project

The City began construction on the new Farmers’ Market and Downtown Gathering Space Improvement project in December 2024. Reconstruction of this facility is an important 30+ year investment in downtown Overland Park.

After taking ideas from the community, the Overland Park City Council approved a new name for the construction project in Downtown Overland Park on Jan. 27, 2024. The area will now be called “Clock Tower Landing.”

The City launched a community engagement process in November, asking residents, Downtown Overland Park visitors, farmers’ market vendors and shoppers to share their ideas for the project.

The City developed the name from suggestions the community provided. The selected name expands on an existing, familiar downtown landmark. It includes a playful connection to the area’s history as an early 1900s aviation hub and its future as a community gathering space.

This project page will be updated throughout construction. Please check back for updates.

Please note the 2025 market season will take place at Matt Ross Community Center, 8101 Marty Street, to allow space for the Farmers’ Market and Downtown Gather Space Improvement Project. 

Site Plans + Designs

When complete, this project will feature:

  • New, indoor spaces for Overland Park Farmers’ Market vendors and shoppers
  • Permanent shade structures in outdoor spaces
  • Additional seating for market visitors
  • Expanded restroom access
  • Improvements to spaces adjacent to the market structure, including the Clock Tower Plaza, Overland Park Drive and Marty Street
  • Continued access to parking during non-market days
  • A new, friendlier place to gather for watch parties, concerts and other public events in Downtown Overland Park adjacent to future private development.

Project Status

The City strategically planned the construction of this important investment to minimize the impact on farmers’ market operations. The Overland Park Farmers’ Market will operate the 2025 season at Matt Ross Community Center, just two blocks away on Marty Street. 

The project is expected to be complete in the summer of 2026, in time for the Kansas City metropolitan area to host six World Cup games.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a priority for the City and the Farmers’ Market. When complete, the market will feature:

  • Solar panels on pavilion roof
  • Electric vehicle charging stations
  • Pavement colors and solar shade structures to reduce the temperature of the outdoor space
  • LED lighting and solar-powered exterior lighting
  • Native landscaping
  • Recycling and composting, and more.

Where possible, construction crews will use locally sourced, low-carbon and recycled construction materials.

Additionally, the farmers’ market operations close down Marty Street on market days, improving walkability and bikeability in Downtown Overland Park. The project will include bike and scooter parking.
