Well it's being built to survive a few hundred years so I'm not surprised.

I wish we had more buildings built this solid. Particle board and 2x4's are flimsy fodder for tornadoes, fires, termites and rot. This thing looks like it's being built to actually last a few generations.

Sustainable River Market development project booking tenants with virtual reality tours
...

Last month, Arnold Development opened a Second and Delaware leasing office a block away from the construction site in which prospective renters can visualize their future home via an interactive virtual reality experience.

The tech allows people to visualize a 360 panorama view of both the studio and one bedroom apartments. But it’s the two bedroom tour that takes the cake, Arnold said. Virtual tours of the two bedroom apartments enable users to wander around every corner of the space.

Arnold said there’s nothing else like this in Kansas City.

“This gives someone the ability to really kick the tires and understand the space,” Arnold said. “(The tech) can sense your height so you can walk to the shower and see how tall the showerhead is. You can go on the balcony, to the bedroom and this more closely resembles what walking through an already built unit would be.”

The VR experience was built by real estate marketing and consulting firm Arnold Imaging, a sister company to Arnold Development of which Arnold is also principal. Second and Delaware marks the fourth VR development project the firm has worked on. Previous clients include Dinerstein Companies, a national student housing developer.

the owner claims
The contractor has had delays, which have eventually resulted in there being a disagreement related to their performance on the project
and the contractor claims it's the fault of the owner from before they started work
“Unfortunately, several issues have arisen with the Second + Delaware project stemming from the Integrated Project Delivery system developed by the owner prior to bringing HarenLaughlin on board,” she said.
