Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
Darn, I see the angled roof treatment going on so that means it's topped out. Was hoping it was going to go a little taller. It's a massive looking building from about every perspective and a great addition either way.
Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
I was skeptical about the design of this building, but after seeing it come together, I think it's a great addition!

Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
Thanks for the pictures. This building doesn't look near as prominent as I thought it would from the south. From the pictures, it looks very prominent looking from downtown towards the south though.
Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
I"m guessing strata and 3 light will be about the same height? It'll be nice to add to the density downtown.

Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
Nice pics. Why does the South view have that stone/tan wall? I don't remember seeing that in the renderings. I would have preferred all glass, but still looks nice. Yeah and I wish it was 30 stories.

Because everything in Kansas City has to have at least 20% of that limestone facade by law or something.
Not a fan.

For comparison sake. The convention hotel is 23 floors and about 260 ft.
3-light is going to be around 30 floors with comparable floor heights.
Strata is set to be 25 floors, but office floors tend to be taller (HR Block is 17 stories, but only slightly shorter than the convention hotel at about 240 ft), so it will probably be quite a bit taller than the convention hotel.

One Light is 25 floors, ~329 ft. Two Light is 24 Floors, ~316 feet. By that ratio, Three Light (30 floors) will be about 400 ft (probably smaller imho).For comparison sake. The convention hotel is 23 floors and about 260 ft.

On the other hand, One Cardinal Way is 29 floors, 320 feet.
It’s turned out better IRL than the renderings.DaveKCMO wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 8:25 amIt was always there.KC_JAYHAWK wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 8:04 am Nice pics. Why does the South view have that stone/tan wall? I don't remember seeing that in the renderings.
Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
Where do you see One light being 329 ft? Wikipedia lists One Light at about 245 with Two light being about 235 feet. Obviously wikipedia could be wrong, but based on their list of other heights, it seems about right to me.

Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
Some of the heights could be wrong. For instance, city hall is listed in that article as shorter than it is in its own article

Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
I had used Emporis. I agree that those numbers appear off. Looking at a few other websites, One Light appears to be around 300ft and Two light 270 (architectural heights). One Cardinal Way is 334ft (architectural) according to SkyScraperCenter.Com. That puts my new guess at ~330-350 ft.kboish wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 8:01 pm Where do you see One light being 329 ft?

Using the information above, I was able to create the following... (My Two Light was checked vs Google Street View and is relatively accurate)
View from roof of building next to KC Star
View from garage near Wesbter House
View from Garage that TLG's post was taken
View from City Hall
Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
It's turning out a lot better than I thought it would.
Re: OFFICIAL - Loews Convention Hotel (formerly Hyatt)
Fun stuff. Thanks for all that work. How about Bravo and 1800 Walnut?

Bravo 13 stories and 1800 14 stories, I believe.
