The company is also developing South Farm, a 230-acre farm at the northwest corner of 144th & Pacific Street, which will be anchored by a planned 235,000 sq. ft. office complex for Applied Underwriters, a Berkshire Hathaway insurance company. The projects will include single and multifamily housing, 650,000 square feet of retail space, 1.4 million square feet of office space, a 300-room full-service hotel, and restaurants. The development will require modifications to the 150th Street interchange at West Dodge Road and widening 144th Street to six lanes from Dodge to Pine Street, just south of Pacific. Grading has already begun, with street and utility work to follow later this year. Applied Underwriters and other businesses should open in the fall of 2019.
