At least developments like Lenexa City Center are providing some denser mixed-use pedestrian-oriented development instead of what's going on at the old Sprint campus. Why shit all over something like this when the city could've easily chosen to develop something far worse?
I’m not shitting on the development at all. Opposite of that actually.

My point is that I don’t think people in the city realize the amount of private money being spent outside of the urban core right now. For the long term health of KC and our region, there needs to be changes made to focus some of that money back on infill development

I'm sure some neighbors will flip their shit over how modern the design is:

After 2.5 years, and a redesign, this project is nearing the finish line.

I've enjoyed watching this go up. It has great views of Gillham Park as well. Wish we could copy and paste this into more vacant lots around midtown.

Are these walk ups or are they required to have an elevator?
