Dang it... two small buildings at 1517 and 1519 Main. He plans to tear them down and build a nine-unit luxury condominium building. “I want to bring suburban living to an urban site, with covered garages and privacy.” From the Star today. Some details have finally been revealed about the project. He...

Chastain was in town for just a few days to make his latest pitch but said he’ll be back several times before November. He said he didn’t know whether he would raise any money or mount a formal campaign, although he plans to have a website ready in about 10 days. Read more here: http://www.kansasci...

Sorry JLowe, didn't mean to offend! I know I am stereotyping the whole area.

None taken! And what can I say...stereotypes do exist for a reason though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well the business session was entertaining If the council is so damn worried about timing and competing interest, why don't they settle on what the GO bond is going to do and when the vote is going to happen...? Loar/hall....as soon as I get to vote on every northland water and sewer replacement an...

Here is a list of all of the current proposals or pending development surrounding the plaza. This excludes the currently under construction whole foods/UMKC apartments. All in all its over 800 units. Did I miss anything substantial? 47th and Madison/Roanoke Pkwy (The Triangle) Units: 150+(?) Height...

From the proprietor of the Pizza Hut in the Food Court @ Town Pavilion:  The food court will be closing as of December 31 w/restaurants relocating to spaces on the first floor of the building or to City Center's Food Court.  The existing food court will be converted to more office space...not sure ...

how much do you pay up front for your rental? if you keep it longer how do they ensure you pay more at the end? And how do they do automated refunds in cash 2. theft of bikes if you keep the bike they can charge your card I thought these points while typing that. I understand them and they make sen...

Does anyone know why you can't use cash at the Bike Stations? I've wanted to try riding these but being a student and not having a credit card of some sort, I'm unable to use them. Adding a pay with cash option like a vending machine would probably really help increase ridership especially with thos...

Likey likey so far. A wooden structure is odd and a cheapish shortcut for center of downtown but outside an ideal taller mid/hirise going in this spot, this is a nice project. Especially with the contiguous streetfront retail, patios and non-uniform surface. Hopefully they follow through with use a...

Price Brothers has acquired the office building, Park Plaza, north of the former Nelle Peters' buildings' site. From the Kansas City Business Journal today: Greg Swetnam of Kessinger/Hunter & Co. LC also represented Highwoods in the sale of the fully leased Park Plaza, which was acquired by Pric...

I understood that MAC already owned that building. I thought the condemnation process had to do with the BP? Maybe I crossed a wire in there. The city is condemning the BP, the convenience store at the NE corner of Troost and Armour, and the vacant hotel. MAC is assembling all the properties at the...

No credits, no project, no building.

Why was it found "not eligable"?

A teenager from Kansas City (Lenexa) is a competitor on this season of America's Got Talent. He's a comedian singer. Saw him on the show and on 41 Action News today. He made it through the first round of auditions.

Here's a link to the video of his audition: https://youtu.be/NOlYdX3-ToE

It looked like one of the new bump-outs caught a truck today. Practically jammed the whole loop while it was stuck. I'm too tired right now to link the pictures from Twitter of it but a bunch of people were complaining about the improvements saying stuff along the lines of, 'Of course this would hap...

There's a Westside Plan? Apparently so. I was at a neighborhood meeting with some of the concerned residents and Quiton Lucas, and the residents kept mentioning and referencing a Westside Plan. The residents said they put together the plan on their own using neighborhood input and then submitted it...

Would like to see another coffee bar (perhaps same operator inside) on E end of building that has a counter near the streetcar stop and outdoor patio seating in what used to be a circle driveway. Or convert the old circle drive into a well manicured pocket park that has a coffee/drink/bagel stand. ...

Was doing some Google searching on this project and came across a marketing brochure. Some of the information in it differs from details in recent news articles. Page 3 shows a site plan for the project. I found the site plan very interesting because no site plan has been shown before by the media. ...

On my drive to work yesterday, I noticed a few Block LLC signs on this plot of land. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XAPX8cyKSYkDHEG897PF3enfWYnzAA26g4j0wjnJvHSjXiabG99949ntW6f-Vh1EfpVjHQdtqMqUUJ9Gn33RzpTCxaGMU7DnXtqAcNDlkjMgGXiaEKnwRWSTps1zNY-k6tyW6NYzpiVPzxXUzbqPgmMqdVHVtJj6hOIxorAXS8i5llwyuxQ...

^I don't know...are we sure this isn't just a fake click-bate news article? For example, I saw one that said a new Harry Potter movie was going to be filmed in town. It claimed that the Quiditch World Cup was going to be hosted in Kansas City and all original cast members were coming to town. It had...

The project is all apartments. To my knowledge, I can't think of a single condo has built downtown since the Morgage Collapse. Of course that doesn't change how people perceive what's being built downtown. I know lots of people that basically think that any housing unit downtown is a condo and that ...
