Apartment surge continues in midtown Kansas City

About a dozen years after he acquired a midtown office building on Broadway, Kansas City real estate developer Del Hedgepath says it’s “30 percent on its way” to being ready for residential tenants in mid-2016.

“We had to do a gut job down to the concrete shell,” Hedgepath said.

The conversion calls for 53 market-rate apartments on the four top floors with five retail spaces on the ground floor and 109 covered parking spaces. It required all new windows and mechanical systems plus extensive work on the parking garage. Hedgepath said the framing, wiring and plumbing are now completed for the apartments.

Congress Lofts will have about three-fourths one-bedroom and one-fourth two-bedroom units. The decor will be “modern with light industrial features,” according to plans drawn by NSPJ Architects.
