Topeka

The photos you shared show marketing flyers/brochures (likely from a listing packet or on-site signage) for a **commercial redevelopment project** at **2950 SW Topeka Blvd, Topeka, Kansas**.

This is the former site of the **Meadow Acres Inn** (an older motel/Econo Lodge property, about 65–70 years old, with around 70 rooms). The site is being marketed by **NAI Heartland** (Chad LaSala as the broker) as **pad sites available** for infill development in a busy retail corridor along Topeka Boulevard (with traffic counts over 21,000 vehicles per day). Key highlights from the materials:

- **Location perks**: Excellent visibility from Topeka Blvd, good access with two curb cuts, proximity to major retailers and fast-food chains (e.g., Popeyes, IHOP, Vanderbilts, Dutch Bros Coffee, T-Mobile, Walmart, Chik-fil-A, etc.).

- **Demographics** (1/2/3-mile radii): Population ~7,776 / ~35,088 / ~70,238; Households ~3,081 / ~14,372 / ~30,000+; Median household income ~$50,467 / ~$62,000 / ~$52,000+.

- **Recent nearby additions**: IHOP, Vanderbilts, Watertower, etc., showing active retail growth in the area.

- **Development type**: Infill redevelopment, focused on pad sites (smaller out-parcels ideal for drive-thru/QSR, banks, coffee shops, auto services, etc.). The site is outlined in red on the aerial maps, showing two main pad areas in a larger commercial/trade area.

This ties into broader redevelopment plans reported in Topeka news (from mid-2025 onward):

- The property was targeted for a **$15 million+ project** involving demolition of the old motel to make way for **two quick-service restaurants (QSRs)**, additional retail space, and possibly a national coffee shop, QSR, and auto service provider (as mentioned in TIF/CID applications to the City of Topeka).

- Developer interest came from entities like **30th & Topeka, LLC** (a Batis Development subsidiary) in 2025, with public hearings and approvals progressing through the year (e.g., TIF district setup discussed in June 2025, agreements approved by December 2025 for related south Topeka projects).

- The goal is to revitalize this stretch of SW Topeka Blvd with modern retail/fast-food tenants in a high-traffic corridor.

**NAI Heartland** is listing/marketings the pad sites for lease or sale (likely ground leases or build-to-suit). The brochures link to **nai-heartland.com** and Chad LaSala (updated phone in some listings: +1 913 956 5813; email: chad@nai-heartland.com). This is consistent with their focus on retail/land deals in the Kansas City metro and surrounding areas (Topeka is about 60 miles west of KC).

If you're interested in pursuing one of these pads (e.g., for a business), contact Chad directly—he's a CCIM-designated Partner specializing in retail/tenant rep. The project appears to be in active marketing/redevelopment phase as of late 2025/early 2026, with the old motel likely slated for removal soon if not already underway.

The sign you originally photographed was probably promoting this same (or a very similar) opportunity, and these flyers provide the full site-specific details. Let me know if you'd like help checking for updates on the NAI site or more on Topeka's redevelopment scene!
