School's out, luxury living's in at Swinney Elementary

Located in Kansas City's West Plaza neighborhood, the E.F. Swinney School was built in three phases between 1914 and 1927, but Kansas City Public Schools shuttered the building in 2010.

Sold as part of the district's KC Schools Repurposing Program, the building was bought in 2013 by Swinney Development Partners LLC, which includes Lee's Summit-based Dalmark Development Group LLC and Sustainable Development Partners LLC (formerly Kansas City Sustainable Development Partners LLC).

Now, after a yearlong construction effort by Straub Construction Co. Inc., West Hill offers 33 apartments and amenities in the historic three-story brick schoolhouse plus 38 units in an addition that was constructed in place of a playground and parking lot that used to serve the school.

Designed by architects with Rosemann & Associates PC, the project offers studio through three-bedroom units ranging from 444 to 1,746 square feet, with rents starting at $975 a month.

I want to have an apartment in the "bayed section," too bad my profession does not allow me that luxury. Great floor plans though.

Those photos under AMENITIES are criminal.

Those photos under AMENITIES are criminal.

wow, they're not even taken in KC nor are they of amenities. they're mostly of attractive young people

they also stretch the truth. they say they're one block west of the plaza while they're four blocks west of it.
