Southern Overland Park’s Nieman Plaza is looking to add more retail to its shopping center.
The Overland Park Planning Commission on Monday approved a revised preliminary plan to allow the construction of a new multi-tenant retail building at the center near the northwest corner of West 135th Street and Nieman Road.

- Both of the proposed tenants, which are unnamed, would occupy a one-story, 8,000-square-foot building, according to city documents.
- The new building would be situated between the 7-Eleven gas station and Community National Bank on site.
No drive-thru is included with the new version of the plan
- In March 2020, the commission approved a rezoning that would have allowed a 5,500-square-foot retail building with a drive-thru on the site.
- With the newest iteration of the preliminary plan that increases the proposed building by 2,500 square feet, the drive-thru element is now off the table.
The changes to the plan received unanimous approval
- The planning commission was in unanimous agreement that the proposed retail building was a good use of the vacant space.
- “I think this all looks appropriate and staff has done a good job at putting the recommendations in front of us,” said Commissioner Radd Way.
- This item must come before the Overland Park City Council for final approval before construction can begin.
