It seems a little odd to me that they are putting the practice fields right there. I guess it would be nice for the team, but it seems like a waste of space - something that would be better suited in a more suburban area.

Do we know for sure that these projects are connected, besides being in the same Freighthouse PIEA area?

Here are higher resolution renderings:

I wouldn't put any stock into that old rendering. Even when it was first made, I think it was more of a rough concept than an actual design. The scale/perspective on it seems totally off, so it strikes me as something that was slapped together hastily. From the description, it sounds like the new pl...

If 12-15 stories for $140M is accurate, then I think the shorter proposal for 13th and Grand could be a likely fit. Copaken Brooks doesn't seem to have renderings of that option on their website any more, but they do have this description: This iconic building would consist of a 10-story, 320,000 sq...

Nothing that I have heard. There was the issuing of bonds in August and subsequent demolition on the NE corner. The last projected groundbreaking date was spring of 2020, so that still seems like a possibility, but that would mean updated plans/renderings may need to come out fairly soon to start go...

Some updates on the 3100 block of Troost: On the LCRA agenda for 10/23 is a tax abatement request by Legacy Crossing Development (the Clemons) for a tax abatement on 3110 and 3130 Troost: The applicant’s project is a $3,278,984 acquisition and rehabilitation of two small commercial buildings. The Ba...

I have a hard time believing Project Decoy could be anyone besides W&R. The overview says the jobs are new to the state of Missouri and to KCMO, but not to the metro/region. That makes me think it is safe to assume they are relocating from the KS side. Are there any other financial services firm...

I found this rendering on the Clemons website, although I assume it is hypothetical, depending on the tenant:

The authorization of bonds for this project is on the agenda for the Finance, Governance, and Public Safety committee meeting on Wednesday: Approving an Amended and Restated Industrial Development Plan for Country Club Lodging, LLC and CCL Parking, LLC for the purpose of acquiring and constructing a...

The view of the Loews at night from the P&L Building.

Yeah, the trend of open/shared spaces requiring less square footage is more for tech/startup/creative businesses. I think W&R will be more on the traditional side with plenty of private offices. I think they could be over 250k sqft by themselves. The overview says they would be "part" ...

There were reports that Fud was going to reopen in the Crossroads around 19th and Wyandotte. In fact, I just checked, and Google maps shows them at that location. However, it seems like things have been quiet on this front for a while, so I'm guessing it may not be happening. I don't know who is beh...

I have heard talk that it is going to be a vegan restaurant.

There have been some applications for medical marijuana businesses in a couple of those buildings.

It looks like Tria Health will be relocating their offices from OP to this development.

I'm not sure how many employees, or how much space they might take up.

The last I heard, the general idea was to build on the street edge of Troost and 27th and put the parking in back, with access off of 27th. I think it would have worked without the extra parcel. It's a little frustrating that the redevelopment of both of the south corners got hung up on this other ...

There appears to be a new commercial building in the works replacing the Waldo Antiques building on 75th St. It seems like an odd design: http://www.botwinrealestate.com/leasing/#/226-w-75th-st/ It looks like this project is back. Unfortunately, the link and images are dead. It sounds like it has c...

Some more documents pertaining to the PIEA agenda item have been uploaded and it looks like this related to a development to the S and SE of the Hilton Home 2 Suites at 20th and Main. The proponent is 2020 Walnut LLC, which is the address of the Superior Moving and Storage warehouse building. They a...

Yeah, TinyPic shut down, so most of the images I have uploaded are gone. The following is on the PIEA agenda Thursday Resolution approving a Proponent Funding Agreement and authorizing preparation of a Qualification Analysis and General Development Plan for the proposed Freight House PIEA Area I was...
