At any rate yeah this gets back to the whole xroads sprawl problem. It would be nice to see another place like MAC open in a more high-profile location, and carry a few daily-needs items...milk, bread, beer

That is a great art deco building if my memory serves - perhaps something retail can go in.DaveKCMO wrote: according to the biz journal, toshiba business solutions is moving from 1617 baltimore to an office park in lee's summit (no incentives, most employees commute from east jack). yet another vacancy on this block.
Maybe no direct incentives, but the new Strother Road interchange on I-470 is a pretty big indirect subsidy. The article in the LS Journal cites the interchange as a key reason Toshiba selected the site.DaveKCMO wrote: (no incentives, most employees commute from east jack).

i'm sure the nicholson group will swoop in to manage/buy the property. that seems to be the trend.bobbyhawks wrote: Seems to me that there are way too many empty buildings/storefronts in the x-roads for that to be encouraging (unless the owner of the building has a better plan in mind).
the crossroads is fine. it's no less healthy than it was before the turndown. however, it's certainly not the hottest retail spot in the metro. i believe much of the problem stems from parking requirements and lack of a CID (changes for both are slow, but in progress).Midtownkid wrote: Looks great to me! Lets just hope they can lease it. Not being able to visit the area in a while and reading all the bad news coming from there makes me scared the area is dieing. Hopefully this is not true. (There are a lot of businesses still there and all those new lofts...so hopefully all is OK)
The Crossroads has a CID in the works? That's encouraging, if it doesn't take forever.DaveKCMO wrote: the crossroads is fine. it's no less healthy than it was before the turndown. however, it's certainly not the hottest retail spot in the metro. i believe much of the problem stems from parking requirements and lack of a CID (changes for both are slow, but in progress).
