A redevelopment plan for Parade Park Homes could tear down most existing structures in phases to make way for more than 1,000 new residences, including hundreds of affordable apartments under Kansas City's standards.

Flaherty & Collins Properties and Twelfth Street Heritage Development Corp. propose a total of 1,065 residences, including different types of units for rent and sale, according to preliminary plans shared with Parade Park Homes residents, viewed by the Kansas City Business Journal.
...
Incorporated in 1963, Parade Park Homes includes 510 units in 46 row buildings. About one-third, or 166 units, had active leases as of late November. Others were destroyed in two buildings left standing and derelict after a February 2022 fire. Flaherty & Collins would take over community management and demolish the burned buildings soon after acquiring the property.
...
Also planned is new ground-floor commercial space, community spaces, parks and playgrounds.
