Metcalf office tower rezoning approved. Supporters want more green space, amenities

The Overland Park Plan Commission supported rezoning Monday for a $260 million office tower campus at 95th and Metcalf, although members also wished for a more pedestrian-friendly design with additional green space.

The City Council will vote in November on the rezoning that would allow Shamrock Trading Corp. to build three multistory office buildings, parking garages and a future restaurant on 34 acres between 93rd and 95th streets, just east of Metcalf Avenue.

The site is across Metcalf from Shamrock’s existing headquarters and used to house the Overland Park French Market, which is empty and will be demolished. It’s just north of a new Lowe’s Home Improvement store. The existing Olive Garden restaurant, 6750 W. 95th St., and Red Lobster, 9475 Metcalf, are not part of the development and will remain in their current locations.
