Today I saw a pile of gravel and a backhoe.

The walls are going in. Looks like a structure in the lower east lot too, design looked like a parking garage

I know that block, one of my favorite photo locations is across the railroad. Hopefully they get really good soundproofing.

I know what you mean, it uses zones instead of unique IDs

in a year, streetcar walking tours can be replaced with learn about downtown via streetcar tours.

Obviously not, but with the number of things that can happen, it might as well be heading towards infinity. Someone saying there's no reason something couldn't be built is stating the opposite of the truth. Take a fixed space and you can come up with an order of a magnitude more projects that won't ...

John Hoffman says he is "working on a similar apartment complex at 63rd and Holmes streets." Been following the discussion. Interesting. I don't think the Citadel Plaza has that much of an effect on 63rd east of Main. That's said because of the closeness of Brookside to the area in discus...

Sure, but it's entirely debatable whether that credit is deserved. exactly. that you admit there can be a debate over what led to downtown being a successful area for new apartments shows how false the statement There's really no reason why apartments couldn't be built east of Oak. is for 63rd it's...

which is a "don't start a revolution against us" project

So if the Citadel had been successful, apartments would be realistic at 63rd and Oak? That seems like it overstates the impact of that project by several orders of magnitude. it's absolutely possible, yes. nothing happens in a vacuum. Power and Light is credited with helping revitalize all of downt...

that bike trail was *just* finished in recent years. It takes time for people to learn about something and get comfortable with the idea.

there's absolutely reasons apartments could be built but wouldn't. it's why I said you have to look at the whole economic environment more than half a mile away because project success builds off the greater neighborhood. it could be as simple as market might not accept leasing rates high enough to ...

I used it one day. It works exactly as advertised.

It has always confused me as to why 63rd St. is so moribund east of Main. I think there is a lot of untapped potential in that stretch and I imagine this development will do well due to the dearth of apartments in the Brookside area.

two words: Citadel Plaza

How cheap does the residential lease rates have to be get people interest in sharing a parking lot with a walmart.

What was the last building demolished in Downtown KC for surface parking? here's two that weren't garages. Inside the loop hasn't seen much true destruction in a while the block east of the JE Dunn building/garage is half parking, half grass. there were two buildings in 2007 there was a shed-like b...

you just described the 2010 MARC census population move maps showing the areas with the most black movement into an area 2000-2010. and there's no way that only parents that have smart kids moved away from urban KC. that's simply impossible. it's not as simple as caring but not with resources. plent...

if you missed the noise on twitter someone spray painted "F*ck Parking" on the construction walls.
