good thing. I'm just surprised they would chose east crossroads over something along the streetcar line.

Either an Amazon Go store or baby sized Target would be my guess.

I thought that was the one that moved to the Troost & Armour Crosswalks development.

Cool report. Though it does have some outdated info included (projects like Hyatt House and Wonderland which have stalled, as well as an old route of the Greenline)

The building on SE corner of 10th and walnut has had some light demo activity going on lately. Couldn't find a thread on that building, it was boarded up a year or more ago?

Not a bad usage. Will be small condos though, so hopefully more affordable.

A team of Exact Architects and MR Capital Advisors wins incentive approval for an $11.1 million conversion of a historic downtown building that was the city's first to be built specifically for storing real estate records.

The city's Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority on Tuesday approved a 10-year, 80% property tax abatement and redevelopment contract for a 57-apartment renovation of the Kansas City Title and Trust Building at 929 Walnut St. The development team, Exact Architects and MR Capital Advisors, would build the new units in the eight-story building's office space, now fully vacant, while retaining Spokes Café as a ground-floor retail tenant.

This project is located at 929 Walnut Street, which is on the northeastern corner of E. 10th Street & Walnut Street. 929 Walnut was built in 1922 as a commercial office building, but is currently largely vacant.

The applicants’ project is a $11.1 Million acquisition and historic rehabilitation of the building. The building will be converted into 57 apartments, including three in a ninth floor to be built, and approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of first floor retail/restaurant space.

Since this will be an historic tax credit project, it will not be subject to the City’s affordable housing inclusion requirement. The applicant plans to make the apartments as affordable as possible. Of the 57 apartments, there will be 13 studios/1-bedroom units, 42 will be 1-bed/1-bath, and 2 will be 2-bed/2-bath units. The studio units are affordable to households at 74% of AMI, the 1-bed units will be affordable to households at 67% and 80% of AMI, and the 2-bed units will be affordable to households at 80% of AMI.
