Ran by the Tiger Tail Saloon yesterday evening. Didn't realize what the place was until I read the KC article. As I was running by two girls were walking the opposite way past the door and a patron yelled out the door "rape me, raaaappppeee meeeee". The two girls gave each other a quisical...

The rendering made the pool appear different so it might be the case that it becomes a pool for the apartment structure. I will say that I live a block away and can only hear the music on weekends as the weekdays are normally quiet or a private corporate event. Most of the tenants are going to be tw...

Valencia Place is almost entirely Lockton and they've outgrown it. There are a few non-Lockton tenants left that will get the boot as their leases end. Currently Lockton has employees spread out across mid-town and so I would expect some cosolidation that would require additional space in the new bu...

I work in the building next door and welcome this development. Imagine there will be some pushback from plaza preservers eventhough its set back from 47th.

I'm aware of Halls in Crown Center..haha

I was referring to something else in the CBD as well by P&L....hence the pie in the sky comment...should've been more clear...A Macy's type of store would probably be make more sense...

Egg actly Flyingmember...a high density of people that can afford upscale market rent apartments should bring good commercial along with it. If you're doing a study and have a dense area of residents with median individual incomes above $40k you're in business. I actually hope it brings an upscale d...

Boom Goes The Dynamite! Gotta get that Republican Convention...at least there is some motivation to get something built down there. I actually think hotel density in that area needs to improve but I know many posters may disagree, however, I don't want to go to a convention and then have to take tra...

That doesn't surprise me. I look down into the site and I understand putting up some fencing but there were cars still parked in that lot last night. Food trucks should draw decent business in the future if there are still allowed to park along that section of the street.

I was wondering the same thing. December is only a couple weeks away and it still looks like a parking lot ; ).

I'm just wondering what time they will start the jackhammering on Saturday.

I've been really impressed with some of the residential that has been built on the Westside. I've been taking Summit to downtown on my way home from work because of the I-35 construction and often find myself meandering through the streets looking at homes. Something definitely needs to be done with...

Looks like it should be a pretty nice place as well as afford good views. Cuisine is upscale rustic? Hopefully it's decent because the Plaza could use a good Italian restaurant eventhough this one would be a few blocks away. Polsinelli also completed the move into their new building. No tenant for t...

I thought they had been trying to find a buyer for that plot for some time. Has the developer decided to finish it and try to sell it? I lived in The View for two years but it wasn't very well managed and seemed to have a lot of renters. There were some fairly trashy ones as well and I was glad that...

KCtoBrooklyn, I would agree with your assessment. MAC definitely appeared to stress the parking garage aspect of the building. I would guess they will run some surveys to see which amenties local residents would like the most and based on feasibility/profitability, choose the best ones. Live/work ar...

KC Star Update

http://www.kansascity.com/2013/10/01/45 ... lated.html

As mentioned in another post, Developer is waiting for the Parole Office and Church leases to end next summer. Construction expected in 2015.

I don't think the existing tenants are both ground floor. The other tenant, a law office, wasn't allowed to renew their lease so they're out. Also, I can't imagine tenants wanting to rent in a building whose ground floor anchor tenant is a parole office. Based on conversations with neighboring comme...

I think that will be a good use for the Creamery building and adding more office space in that area is great for live/work. I understand the Corrigan Building still has two tenants (parole office and church) whose leases run until next summer. That means work will likely not start until sometime in ...

It is definitely a joke when you compare Kansas City traffic to other major US cities. KC traffic pales in comparison to Chicago. I live downtown and lose no time commuting from DT to the Plaza for work. I would indicate, however, that having people patronize DT businesses because they don't want to...

Great News!

That has been a long time coming.

Fang, Definitely caught that in the article. There was another article I read recently that was talking about bank's willingness to finance upscale apartment complexes and multi-family construction in general...it was in the KCBJ. I know UMB and Commerce are overcapitalized and looking for quality l...
