An incoming $122 million proposal — the largest known to date along Kansas City's southern streetcar extension — comes bundled with quality-of-life fixes for Park Reserve condominium residents that could begin later this year.

NorthPoint Development looks to fully demolish remaining undeveloped portions of the former Trinity Lutheran Hospital, which closed in 2001 and now sees regular break-ins northwest of 31st and Main streets.

In its place, the Riverside-based developer aspires to build a six-story apartment complex with 370 to 390 units. The project is tentatively named ArriveKC, an allusion to the multiple forms of transit it will complement, next to a planned streetcar stop and near four bus stops…

NorthPoint anticipates investing more than $1 million in life safety improvements in the existing condo buildings. These are expected to include fixes to rooftops and nonfunctioning elevators, potentially beginning later this year, development manager Gavin Ott said…

…Concurrent with the condo improvements, NorthPoint could start making repairs to Park Reserve's parking garage, which is to be preserved with the new proposal. The garage's 430 spaces, plus additional stalls to be built under NorthPoint's complex, are to serve existing condo and new apartment residents, as well as Ability KC's neighboring main campus and the public.

ArriveKC is one of the first two transit-oriented projects to apply for incentives through the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority's new Sustaining Transportation and Reinvesting Together (START) policy, meant to boost developments that meet transit-oriented policy goals in the authority's seven-county coverage area.

The other project is Jamestown Square, a $66.4 million, 226-unit project by Milhaus near the University of Kansas Medical Center campus.

“We want every project to not only be beneficial to its own location, but have implications on the greater passenger transportation network," Allison Bergman, a Hardwick Law Firm LLC attorney representing RideKC, said during its Wednesday meeting.

Evaluated by RideKC using START's "heat map" scorecard, both NorthPoint's and Milhaus' proposals could receive property tax exemptions up to 15 years at 75%, through Chapter 238 conduit bond issuances.

RideKC's board unanimously recommended that scoring for the two projects to KCATA's board, which on June 22 could approve resolutions of intent to issue bonds.

Contingent on coming plan approvals, Ott said NorthPoint could start demolishing the former hospital structures in early 2023 and begin mass grading for ArriveKC's new construction later that year. The complex's first units could be delivered 18 to 24 months later, coinciding with the southern streetcar's scheduled opening in early 2025.

NSPJ Architects PA will be architect for ArriveKC.

We’ll see what happens. Building designs are simple and there’s a lot of parking, but it’ll be good to see that junky place go away.

1. Then maybe call it something other than "Condos near this location"? Alot of times the vague threads like this mention like 3-4 different recent projects (i.e. the River Market thread)

2. I did read the threads before. But I stopped doing that because it gets so annoying when half the threads are people arguing about politics or random irrelevant issues about "why KC is behind" or whatever. It's always off-topic.

So unless it's tagged with a proper name, I'm not weeding through all that mush. I love reading your posts, but that's my reasoning. Sorry.

Something like this might work on one of the parcels in Berkley Riverfront Park.

How long do you think it would take to rent out 700 apartments in KC?
