I'll never understand this city's inability to create a critical mass along major streets. Critical mass promotes more and denser development on side streets. It seems like every developer wants to build their project in disparate places (blocks), negating the benefit of close and connected proximit...

All of those photos are north of 15th Street near Kersey Coates Drive on the northern side of the bluff going to the West Bottoms. I don't think he's referring to that area, he's referring to the bluff south of there where SW Trafficway starts (SW loop). There is actually an elevated bluff all along...

I-35 on the west side is, in my opinion, the worst thing about the highway system in Kansas City. If I could change one thing about our highway system it would be to move I-35 to the west bottoms if not wholly into Kansas. Higher priority than any part of the loop. At the time it was built the bluf...

I think this is a great project. Not every apartment building has to have street front retail, especially when a boatload of retail is within one block. I understand that retail is important but there's no American city that has street front retail on every single block. The Plaza is another good ex...

Has there been any news on when Three Light is going to be announced? Maybe the capping would be announced when either 3 or 4 Light is announced. That would be great. Three Light is supposed to begin construction before Two Light is completed. For some reason I'm just not that excited about capping...

Nice! Thanks.

^ can't see it..

I don't want the flashcube building torn down. There's an ocean undeveloped surface parking lots on all sides of it that need new construction. I'd love to see KC bring back the "Junction." But I don't see why it's practical until the north loop of the Interstate gets eliminated and the or...

One of my biggest personal eyesores would be imploded and redeveloped. That would be former KC Public Library / KC School District, which borders 12th, McGee, 13th, and Oak Streets. sorry, but it will be renovated. Good news. While I don't like the building or it's design so much, it's still a very...

Downtown KC has several significant dead space blocks downtown. What significant "hole" would you fill downtown and what would the project be and look like? Pretend you're a local billionaire and want to invest $150-250 million to create a renaissance-type project between the river and 31s...

Has this place been mentioned already? I don't remember it and didn't know it was coming. SoT (short for South of Truman) at 1521 Grand http://www.feastmagazine.com/the-feed/kansas_city_news/article_775ebd86-7b73-11e6-8984-777b3c682059.html http://www.sotkc.com/ This place looks amazing. Really ups...
