Re: 1914 Main
First floor garage tucked behind ground-floor retail. Developers said they designed it so that some of the parking can be converted into more retail if in the future demand for that is greater than parking.

Is the garage entrance via the alley, or from Main via a driveway on the north side of the building?
From the looks of the renderings, it's located in the alley.

Re: 1914 Main
So it appears ground has still yet to be broken. I like their cute little "groundbreaking" they did in front of the cameras. "We're breaking ground everybody. But not really. It's too cold to work outside. See ya in Spring!"

Recently a permit came across for sewer repair work at this location.

Re: 1914 Main
There's a giant hole in the ground with a large cement structure placed in it. Something sewer related, apparently. Another bartender in the neighborhood and I did a shot of Mezcal last night on the site, to bless it. I'm incredibly excited for this project.

Re: 1914 Main
If it's been dead zone for a long time, it probably needed sewer upgrades to handle the new density.

Re: 1914 Main
Things are really moving here. Foundation work has been ongoing for a while and the rock base course has been rough graded across the site. Looks like the sewer work at the back end of the site is about wrapped up.

Couple new renderings I found on Copaken's website. Looks like they are the leasing agent for the 1st floor retail space.

Re: 1914 Main
Now if every surface lot down Main in Xroads could be filled in and provide a nice contiguous pedestrian scale experience from P&L to Union Station. That stretch of Main has the perfect opportunity to become Smith St south of downtown Brooklyn or Bedford Ave pedestrian strip in Williamsburg/Brooklyn.
I don't know if KC has enough developers/planners yet that really understand urbane 'contiguous pedestrian experience'. Most still think in isolation about just the boundaries of their project, not how the project fits in context with extended surroundings. Getting better though as this shows.
