The strategy is 'regreen' (converting to parkland), not housing. Peer projects include Bannister Mall (17km away, MO) and Northland Center (MI), both using 'regreen' on similar-sized sites. Residential permits in Jackson County (2023-2024) total $1.26B, indicating active development momentum in the area. Status is verified as 'under construction' with no housing plans confirmed.",
