Warehouse to Come down

I see some thing on TV and want to comment on it. Just me I guess. On with the thread. Wasn't the Muhelbach just rebuilt? as the sideshow that was in another thread suggested. Where is the Muhelbach located by the way?

the muhelbach building in in river market is from the old muhelbach brewery....not the hotel.

Check out the recent demolition at the corner of Grand and Independence Ave.... roof down on corner building. City Homes will have great visibility from the Grand Avenue bridge.

Not much left of Piscotta Warehouse. Any talk at the downtown meeting of what exactly will go in?

that's not really a big loss (in my opinion) if what we are only talking about is a one story utilitarian warehouse...if something urban minded replaces it.

who banks with the bank of lawson???

I don't know It would have made a good restaurant or even a nice sized home. This looks like an industrial zone though.

Nice sized home? It would have been 30,000 sq feet.

Those are the construction trailers associated with the Bridgeworks City Lofts.

I think you mean that it "just isn't the most convenient option"

I have not seen anything official - thought someone here might know - but I heard that the bank was going in with a combination of homes too. Anything to this?

It's going to be a bank with one huge surface lot.

RiverMarketDweller · Post by **RiverMarketDweller** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 11:08 pm

One of the City Homes developers said the bank would only take 30% of the land and the rest would be developed and they were hoping to put a Bridgeworks Phase III in.

That's good news.

These buildings with the exception of the recording studio did suck. But it is still very typical of Kansas City to tear something down and then come up with a plan. I'm sorry but a two level local bank from Lawson....get out of here. You know that is going to be employ 10 people and take up a whole block with a drive through. What people do not realize in this town is banks can go on the ground floor of 5 story multi purpose buildings. I think this stinks and so do the owners of Grand Slam. The ones seriously considering taking down a multifunctional facility to put up a no-personality gas station.

This space should have been a parking garage like the one on 10th and central (quality hill play house, Sienna) and had the bank on the bottom floor. With the spots you could give the bank customers parking, leave some for visitors, satisfy the 523 Grand owners, and leave 10-20 more for another business in the immediate area. Vision just lacks downtown.

Chrizow said it best....half of the Rivermarket is a parking lot. It is so true, just walk around the place. The recording studio on the northwest corner has some good history around it and was still being used. I think somebody could have integrated with the music studio and the muhelbach into a complex of some sort. Another short sided and desperate move by this city to get somebody to put money in their urban core.

On my way back home from Thai Paradise tonight I noticed a big Coldwell Banker FOR SALE sign on the corner of Grand and Indp. Ave. Looks like the owner has shelved the bank idea and hopes to cash in? I always thought using this place as a 2 story bank was not a very good financial move on the part of the lot owner. Anyone have any more info?
