^It sure would be nice if that storage mart was torn down and redone as something else. A small big box would be a perfect fit there

Re: Broadway
This looks like a great project!
Here are few more renderings from the B&A website. The townhouses look interesting:

Re: Broadway
Those look awesome. Great infill.
Re: Broadway
Ah you guys beat me to this! I'd just found those renderings earlier this week and had been meaning to post them. But it really looks like a great project though. At the bottom is a link to the Midtown KC Post story on it...not really any new info but this sentence really stood out to me, "'Developers are anticipating the streetcar someday going down Main Street,' Council member Jan Marcason said."

Re: Broadway
So good to see Midtown getting attention now. 500 units for Uptown/Amour area is exactly the kind of boost needed. And on top of it, KC getting attention from outside well funded developers.

Re: Broadway
This is really exciting! This project does look a bit like LA, in a good way.
Looks like the demolition of one old house would be necessary...but no loss in my mind. Would the strip building at the corner of Broadway and 34th be demolished for this? Their plan shows a park. That building is a piece of crap so I don't care if it does go.
I hope something can be done with the old Norman school, too. Sad that plan didn't go through.

Here's the link to B&A Architecture's website for this project: http://baarchitecture.com/projects/midtown-plaza/15BRO
Some of the renderings are a little different along with project details from the BizJournal but overall looks like no matter what it will be a great final product.

Re: Broadway
I absolutely love this news. The tower that's being converted for this project is currently an eye-sore. I've been saying to others for a little while now that I really want to see it updated.
I'm finally getting my wish.

Re: Broadway
It would be nice if that hotel on Linwood could get an upgrade. Something like the Moonrise Hotel in STL would be ideal.

Re: Broadway
warning about what?
that building looks nice, with what little can be seen from that weird angle
the key pieces were energy efficient and space for cars. How does a custom personal home give any idea about a 400 person building?

Re: Broadway
In the first picture in the rendering, why are there so many people in the middle of the street? Is the woman with the dog on the leash trying to keep her dog from attacking the birds, or that little girl? Or, is she actually on roller skates and is totally helpless to prevent such an attack.

Re: Broadway
I'm Not a fan of that building...especially in that location (Ward Parkway, edge of Plaza). Still, I'm hopeful for this project. This has a more urban context and a better looking buildings (per their renderings).AlbertHammond wrote:WARNING: this is the same architect that designed this:

I want to see a more developed elevation / 3d model for their townhouses.

Re: Broadway
The street with the townhouses will be a garage-scape ghetto according to this image. I am also hopeful for this project, but it needs some work.Midtownkid wrote:

Re: Broadway
Yeah, those apartment buildings really need to be rotated 90 degrees to face the streets and those townhouses need to be flip-flopped so that the garages are accessed from the interior of the block...

Funny how that seems so easy. And yet how does the developer not see it?Eon Blue wrote:Yeah, those apartment buildings really need to be rotated 90 degrees to face the streets and those townhouses need to be flip-flopped so that the garages are accessed from the interior of the block...
Also, does no one else find the commercial building to be hideous? It needs to be improved. Otherwise the project seems awesome.

Re: Broadway
Yeah, the driveways to the townhouses is an amateurish mistake. It would be better to run a narrow alley behind the townhouses with garage access there; remove the driveways in front, and instead create small, walled courtyards to give the homeowners some outdoor space.

Re: Broadway
so you recommend taking the Northgate Village design and dropping it in. with that height the row homes would fit perfectly right thereFangKC wrote:Yeah, the driveways to the townhouses is an amateurish mistake.
