Zona Rosa is an approximately convert|500000|sqft|m2, mixed-use (retail, office and residential) development located in Kansas City, Platte County, Missouri. The project opened in 2004 and is expected to be expanded by an additional convert|500000|sqft|m2 by early 2008. It was developed by Steiner+Associates known for their Easton Town Center development in Columbus, Ohio.

Zona Rosa is an example of a new trend in retail development where traditional regional malls are replaced by mixed-use projects featuring residential, office and/or hospitality uses in a high density urban environment organized around traditional street grids.

Zona Rosa is modeled after the original Zona Rosa in Mexico City and often compared in style to another shopping center in Kansas City known as the Country Club Plaza.
