Where are all the people?

This turned out much better than I thought. When will residents start moving in?

This looks amazing -- reminds me of something you'd find in DC.

Missing out on 900 Starbucks jobs is such a loss. It’s that kind of attention (from global mega brands) that would really light a fire on the downtown office market. I know 900 jobs isn’t wild, but perhaps it would convince local employers to consider DT (e.g. Cerner). A company like Starbucks would...

Wish it were (much) taller but like true way it’s coming together.

Such an incredible bummer this includes a surface parking lot...

Looks better than I thought but is still really weak. I’m still in the boat of any new housing project downtown is a win but slowly raising the bar about what we should call acceptable. This project looks a lot different than the renderings. The goal in my mind is to get DTKCMO’s population to 50k A...

I love this project. It could be taller and have less parking but it will bring ~500 residents downtown along with ground floor retail. I wonder if this project could secure another CVS/bodega/grocer.

Any official opening date/update on the lease-up?

This building is so sad.

As long as occupancy rates are 95%+ there should be no reason not to keep building. Demand is clearly there -- as more folks move and prices increase, it will eventually make sense to start building more condos.

Finally KC has a rooftop bar downtown with great views of the city. This will be a huge hit.

Was all over downtown for the first time in about six months and have a few thoughts. 1) Living outside of KC and only visiting a few times a year makes day to day changes more noticeable. There has been a big pick up in the number of people downtown. While certain areas are busier than others, you ...

walked past the site yesterday and construction was underway -- probably 20+ workers on the site.

Love these renderings and cannot wait for the added density/removal of a surface lot. It's also super interesting that Cordish is testing out condos for the top floors. Downtown lacks condo inventory and this might be a good way to test how new construction performs...

Is there a tracker if all the developments going on along at Troost? Thinking about buying an investment property at 45th and Troost and am curious to hear thoughts on the hood. Thanks!

Could not be a bigger fan of this! The site is currently a surface lot in an area of downtown that has little foot traffic. This hotel would add density and some life to a quieter part of the CBD.

Stop comparing it to the old hotel. The city, market and property have changed to fit today's consumers.

Anyone have updated crime stats? Curious to see if the influx of residents downtown has led to a decrease in crime.

It’s been said before on other threads that Kansas scott needs a bodega. While another grocery store would be great, adding three or four bodegas from River Market to Crown center would add a lot IMO.
