    DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR VILLAGE WEST APARTMENTS III between the UNIFIED GOVERNMENT OF WYANDOTTE COUNTY/KANSAS CITY, KANSAS and VILLAGE WEST APARTMENTS III, LLC DATED AS OF _____________, 2020 DB04/0501343.0139/13605443.5 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (Village West Apartments III) THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR VILLAGE WEST APARTMENTS III (the "Agreement") is made as of the ____ day of ___________________, 2020 (the "Effective Date") between the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas (the "UG"), and Village West Apartments III, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company ("Developer"). RECITALS: A. The Developer wishes to design, develop, and construct a luxury apartment complex and related amenities (the "Project," as further defined in Section 2.2 below), on certain real property generally located north of Delaware Parkway, west of 110th Street, and south of Parallel Parkway in Kansas City, Kansas (the “Project Site”), as legally described on Exhibit A-1 and generally depicted on Exhibit A-2, as attached hereto. B. The Developer does not yet own the Project Site, but has right to acquire the Project Site pursuant to a contribution agreement with the current owner dated _________, 2020 (the "Contribution Agreement"), and Developer shall, upon closing, have all rights to occupy and develop the same as set forth herein. C. The UG recognizes that Wyandotte County’s consumer demand for luxury rental living units is currently underserved by the existing inventory, particularly in western Wyandotte County, and the lack of sufficient high-end living units causes many people who work and play in Wyandotte County to live outside Wyandotte County, which limits the County’s ability to capitalize on the opportunity to attract residents to the County from other parts of the Kansas City metropolitan area.
