Re: Mending the Heart of an American City

This is somewhat related but the Fortune Magazine Ad featuring KC has been published.  I saw it in my office this morning and it's not too bad.  Here's a link to the Fortune: New KC site but unfortunately the pdf file hasn't been loaded yet.  I'm assuming their webmaster will correct it within the n...

all in all i'll have to admit the kc metro is doing a heck of a lot, with the water park, village west, downtown redevelopment etc..... go kc!

Re: OFFICIAL: The Legends at Village West

I'm glad to hear that the legends is doing so well. My guess is that it will do even better once the water park opens and drives more traffic in that direction.

If I were the owner of the Great Mall of the Great Plains I'd be very worried right now.

Re: Developer proposes twin condo towers on Grand (Wellington Place)

the wellington place design looks great and will no doubt look nice as part of the skyline.  my only concern is that downtown kc has a lot of condo projects.  will the market be able to sustain all of these new buildings?

Re: Crate & Barrel to fill the vacated Saks locale

my gut is that highwoods has someone lined up for the markshale building and hence the pressure to ask mark shale to move into the saks building.  i agree that a barneys or crate and barrel would be ideal for this location though. here's a question for everyone. how do you think highwoods has done m...

Re: Overland Park Skyline...

Some of you guys seriously are pathetic, any spare minute in your life you spend cracking on Overland park. So OP doesn't have a skyline but...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

let's just hope highwoods does a good job "modifying" the old saks building.  hopefully they release some renderings within the next few weeks.

Re: H&R Block Construction Photos

the building's turned out pretty nice. =D>

has anyone taken a picture from a distance? i'm curious how it looks as part of the skyline.  my guess is that it looks fairly small when compared to one kcp and town pavilion.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

Don't overestimate the size of Saks - that place has extremely tiny floorplates for a department store.  Thats part of why the place was always such a joke - you would go to the men's department and they would be like "sir, why don't you have a look at one of our three pairs of slacks. . . &q...
