Kansas City's Rooftop Gardens
This is a great article from the Star featuring some of KC's rooftop gradens. I would really like to be able to see some of these close-up and in person. Lot's of nice pictures in the article. I guess this would be the best thread for it since most if not all of the featured gardens are downtown.

Re: Kansas City's Rooftop Gardens
I think that rooftop gardens are so cool. you get to enjoy a little nature in the heart of a rather non natural environment. And if it is done right, the foliage like what was on the Empire Theater will not end up happening on another building. These gardens are done with a lot of careful planning.

Re: Kansas City's Rooftop Gardens
I'm reviving this.
I would like to know which buildings downtown have any sort of a rooftop terrace. Not necessarily a garden with grass, but just some sort of an area that is designed to sit and relax on the roof of a building (business or residential). These are the ones I can think of, please add to:

Re: Kansas City's Rooftop Gardens
I think Clubhouse Lofts has some outdoor terraces for some apartments and on the roof.
There is no fifth destination.

I think the 1st & Main has some condos on the top floor with rooftop terraces.

Re: Kansas City's Rooftop Gardens
Thanks everyone! If I move, I think that's one amenity I would like to look for. I want a place I can sit on the rooftop even if it's a common area for all residents.
Re: Kansas City's Rooftop Gardens
Piper Lofts will also have a rooftop terrace/pool.

By the way, PumpkinStalker, the Landmark Lofts deck has the best views in downtown IMO.

the barkley HQ (1740 main) has a swell rooftop terrace, as does the building that houses habitat shoes and darling room salon (1800 baltimore).

Re: Kansas City's Rooftop Gardens
Western Auto building has a pattio. It is really neat being up there under the glow of the sign. No garden though.

Re: Kansas City's Rooftop Gardens
Really! I was not aware Western Auto had one. I know one or two people on this site live there, can someone post a picture from up there? I'd like to see it.
