Westside Housing appears to be renovating the building on the northwest corner of E. 8th and Woodland Avenue. A sign on the building indicates it's a solar project.
An update on this project. It seems to be moving slowly, but there has been some noticeable progress.
Looking west from Woodland at the side and back of the building on E. 8th.
Looking north from the corner of E. 8th and Woodland.
Looking northeast from E. 8th Street.
This small retail building is across the street from the Quinlan rowhouses that mostly face Woodland. My only criticism about this Quinlan Row project is that I wish they had added street trees via bump-outs along Woodland. It creates a harsh streetscape as it is. It would soften the street, and also provide passive cooling.

One of the buildings on the north side of the intersection of St. John Avenue at Elmwood has received a new facade. I read on the Northeast Facebook page that the facade became unstable because of something going on underneath the sidewalk.
The link below shows how the building used to appear.

Does anyone know what's going on with 611-613 Forest Avenue. Is it being renovated, or demolished? Three additional houses have been demolished on the south end of the block.
This building, 611-613 Forest, is being sold for the land value. The building to the north of it, 609 Forest, that recently suffered a fire, is also being sold for the land value.

Update today on this from City Scene
https://cityscenekc.com/jazz-hill-affor ... the-paseo/
Construction is expected to begin soon on a $33.8 million Jazz Hill project that will renovate 11 historic but derelict apartment buildings on The Paseo near downtown into 197 affordable apartments.
An additional $150,000 for the project was endorsed Wednesday by the City Council Neighborhood, Planning and Development committee, and the full Council is expected to support the appropriation when it meets today.
The project, which is expected to be fully completed by Summer 2024, is being done by the Twelfth Street Heritage Development Corp. and Flaherty & Collins of Indianapolis. Buildings will be opened on a staggered basis as construction is finished.
Beautiful buildings. Glad they will be saved

On Thursday, Shannon Jaax and Jesse Lange, consultants for Kansas City Public School District, announced that two proposals chosen by the district’s repurposing department would be presented, one from Laura McGrew, Principal at 405 Development, that would transform the school site into a creative space for artists. The other proposal, from Exact Architects, would combine community space with affordable and market rate housing.
