Avenue One: A 200-Acre Mixed-Use Vision

Located at 192nd Street and West Dodge Road, across from Lawrence Youngman Lake and Methodist Women’s Hospital, Avenue One will feature:

• 600,000+ sq. ft. of retail and entertainment
• More than 2,000 apartments and townhomes
• Over 1 million sq. ft. of office and medical space

This project reflects Poag’s expertise in placemaking, blending retail, residential, and entertainment into a vibrant community.

Why Ground-Up Lifestyle Centers Matter

Despite the rise of e-commerce, brick-and-mortar retail remains essential. Today’s consumers seek experiences they can’t get online, including unique dining, fitness, and entertainment concepts. Successful lifestyle centers lean into these strengths and incorporate restaurants, outdoor spaces, and immersive community activations.

Avenue One will deliver all of this, with distinctive districts, landmark architecture, and creative landscaping that create a sense of place.

The Formula for Success

Launching a ground-up lifestyle center requires:

• Strategic Partnerships: Poag’s collaboration with JLL is driving strong leasing momentum.
• Local Expertise: Partnering with a local landowner ensures market insight and community connections.
• Consumer-Centric Design: Every element, from storefront porosity to outdoor gathering spaces, reflects evolving consumer priorities.

Looking Ahead

As Poag Development Group CEO Josh Poag explains:

“The formula for ground-up lifestyle success demands not just the right opportunity in the right market, but the right people and the right constellation of circumstances to build something special.”

With Avenue One, Poag is proving that even in challenging times, bold vision and deep expertise can redefine what’s possible in retail and mixed-use development.
