Re: OFFICIAL - Ashland at River Market

When deciding between two condo buildings many years ago a major reason for the one I went with was the rooftop access and great views. I only went up maybe 6 times a year on my own but more often when having visitors as it was a nice perk for visitors, having a drink up there. Many friends would wa...

Yeah agree, it's fine for this location. Ideally would line up to block but not crucial in this location. Slick design otherwise.

Re: Atlas 303

Apparently still no incentives to be sought. Hopefully this can be pulled off as it would be an important message to the development community that incentives wouldn't be needed for pure market rate projects.

Re: NFL Draft

Only five streetcars will be running and provide 5 minute headways (you have to go to Chicago for that frequency). We will never run six on the downtown alignment. Too risky and negligible return. The 5-car schedule will be tested during First Friday. Will overflow buses along same line also be use...

Re: NE Corner of 14th & Wyandotte (300 unit apartment)

For what I proposed it wasn't about being taller for a tall fetish but rather to offset dropping some floors on SW corner and adding to NW corner. So about maintaining density not height. However making NW corner taller than P&L not a notable impact either to PL while even more density. And give...

I've modified and cleaned up with NW even taller. It could probably be as tall or even taller than P&L as it wouldn't be too imposing with the distance. SW corner dropped some to visually terrace up to P&L. If any other ideas I'll try to render. My mods... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p...

Re: NE Corner of 14th & Wyandotte (300 unit apartment)

Agree much better. Could probably go taller on NW corner of project with several floors of 360 view suites. Is distant enough from P&L tower w/out imposing on it.

Re: KC metro growth and migration stats

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

The appropriate balance for the Plaza at this point is maybe tenants that target about 75% 250 mile draw, 25% 3-mile draw. Drop some (not all) of the corporate restaurants and add a few more small quaint neighborhood restaurants/cafes (Rye is too big, too mega not-local feeling). Drop 10% of the ret...
