Tell us more. Why? I like the looks of their first project.

Scratch that. I was thinking cityscape=Cityclub apartments at 19th and main.

Now I see that cityscape did the "Crossroads Westide" apartments, Apex and Summit at quality hill. Yeah, I'm skeptical of their urban abilities. They did one building in the Apex development that looks great (where Spokes Cafe is located). The others all look like apartments from 120th and Holmes. Summit in quality hill is just meh...

The elimination of the state tax credits has already derailed the construction of at least one low-income housing building downtown.

Last summer, Prairie Fire Development Group drew up plans to tear down the former Kansas City Public Schools headquarters at 1211 McGee St. and construct a 400-unit mixed-income apartment building. The plans included lofts reserved for teachers and possibly a second grocery store for downtown.

Prairie Fire partnered with a New Jersey company, The Michaels Organization, and submitted a proposal to the school district.

According to the survey, Downtown had roughly 15,700 housing units in 2017, and the report projected hitting 17,000 in 2018. By 2020, it estimates that Downtown will have just less than 20,000 housing units. For comparison, Downtown had 10,322 units in 2000.
...
The average rent in Downtown is $850, according to the report. About 1,800 people pay between $500 and $749, about 2,500 pay between $750 and $999, and another 2,500 pay between $1000 and $1,499.

Although Downtown presents plenty of options for renters, the buyer's market is smaller. There are about 1,600 single-family detached units and 744 condo-occupied condo units in buildings with 50 or more units, in addition to a smaller number of units in smaller complexes.

Height: 250 feet
Units: 37 condos, almost all have been sold; ground floor retail, 1 floor of office
Cost: $30 million

The floors have just 3 units each and the building was built up against an existing parking garage. The site formerly held a 1-floor residential building (this is very similar to the low rise structure on the north end of the Consetinos garage.
