Re: Midtown Area Apartment Boom
Historic KC had like 4 years to move on this, what did they actually do, if anything? Historic KC is a toothless entity. They have never been able to evolve into an effective lobbying group so that they are proactive about things instead of reactive. There was a moment about a decade ago when they ...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
6-8 stories of residential on top of whatever goes at the Nordstrom site would be a good start. They need to build out on those empty grass lot behind the plaza first They should build on those, but they're owned by Price Brothers, so I wouldn't hold your breath. PB might be the largest holders of ...

The retaining walls for the 51st Street station went in sometime last week.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
The challenge isn't just finding a healthier buyer, it's finding a buyer that has deep enough pockets to continue capital improvements and take Plaza to next level rather than milking it. $100 million+ equity investment to buy it. More needed to turn it around. Really need a redevelopment opportuni...

Re: Troost developments
I've never understood why Laugh O Gram wasn't created into a museum or something. I mean Mickey fucking Mouse was born in that shack. And we just let it sit there and rot? How stupid are we? I'm aware but this is Troost Developments not Troost Village, so it remains relevant, especially given the a...

Re: Bike Lanes
I checked out 45 minutes into meeting but no mention on Paseo. Lexington, Truman Rd, 22nd/23rd, and 27th might get done this year. 27th from Gillham to Charlotte (Holmes?) is in. It can't really go further west because PW moved the curbs as part of the Gallerie project. I have an email from KCPW sa...

NB: Laugh-O-Gram is a totally separate project from Troost Village.

Re: Troost developments
Troost Village was always vaporware.
IIRC UCB had an option to buy the SE corner if they developed the SW corner. But that was in like 2015.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Great point, if Block wants their view, they should have just bought the church. For as involved as they have been in the fate of that parcel it would be surprising if it hadn’t been offered to them.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Kansas City developers feud as proposed Country Club Plaza development triples in size https://www.kansascity.com/news/business/development/article260209530.html Really interesting. Writing the bowl into law after Lockton and 46Penn still makes no sense to me, and might be the developer's best argu...

Re: Union Hill Development
Dang, I wondered if that was happening. It's in such a sad limbo state right now, with part of the space being a grocery store and the owner's office paperwork spread out on a table in the front corner.

Re: Union Hill Development
Sad to see Crestwood North come to an end.
Slightly off topic: is Cafe Europa in Crestwood closing? They seem to be trying to kill themselves off slowly with this to-go only setup.

How does this test the bowl if it’s smaller than the Lockton Building and further west?

Re: Jackson County buys former Argus Building at 1300 Washington
Probably not. After all, this is the board that was convinced the BOE parcel was too valuable to sit vacant.

Maybe a scaled down version of the Guggenheim Bilbao? That's a Spanish building.

I have an original print of that photo and it's nowhere near as garish. It's also in black and white.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Pretty evenhanded, but nothing unfamiliar to people who read this thread: lots of vacancies, rents are high, Nordstroms is a big question mark, lack of major anchor tenants, there may never be a theatre there again, new tenants aren't traditional Plaza types of places (minigolf, etc.). It was a litt...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?
Man, I can’t tell if you’re actually saying the quiet part out loud, or someone pretending to be cartoonishly callous landlord to bump up support for KCT. Maybe it doesn’t matter. But since you’re here, I am curious what your solution to affordable housing is.
