Re: Kansas City 2022 Predictions
Here are my predictions...
1. 45th and Main (former Holiday Inn site) project revealed with an iconic design. Disappoints in terms of height. Still a good addition overall.
2. Another apartment project is announced at Berkley Riverfront and brings a higher quality design than the Union or Core.
3. Kansas City picks up a direct flight to Europe, in particular either Paris or London, as both a response to St. Louis getting a flight to Germany and, most importantly, part of the continued rebuilding of the KCI image as a result of the new airport.
4. 1400 Baltimore/Waddell and Reed building picks up a major tenant kicking off the office building at Freighthouse Village and 13th and Wyandotte.
5. Strata proposal dropped, replaced by a Cordish-backed hotel project. Likely in-partnership with Loews (think Live! By Loews).
6. Concept East-West Streetcar alignments revealed. Project advances to the next phase of the process to begin seeking public input to choose the best route.
7. KC awarded World Cup.
8. South Loop Cap formally announced with a phased approach, construction begins by the end of the year on the portion between Main and Walnut with additional portions being built over time.
9. Oak Tower renovation announced to restore it to its former glory with a celebration by KCRag users who dreamed of this day.
10. More developments announced that incorporate affordable housing components as a result of the incentive rules. Politicians declare it as a major victory. Proves that Kansas City is still a hot city and set to get even hotter.
11. Congressman Cleaver announces his retirement. Quinton Lucas runs for Congress and ends up winning.
12. COVID declared an "endemic", life returns to normal as a result.
13. I become a full-time KC resident.

Do I get points for this? I wonder how long before Gerend is gone. Streetcar initial build and expansion probably a really good resume draw.beautyfromashes wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 1:58 pm We lose at least one KCATA executive/employee to Washington DC working under Mayor Pete.

2. The Lux Lixing proposal while not a high-rise, is still a step above Union/Core. AccurateChris Stritzel wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 9:30 pm Here are my predictions...

3. Not quite there but the $5 million incentive is probably the final missing piece for this to happen. Anxious for the fall schedule release.
8. Announced!
9. Proposal announced!

Re: Kansas City 2022 Predictions
I’d say my 6, 10, and 13 predictions still have a good shot at happening. 13 for sure. Prediction 4 could partially happen. We’re about halfway through the year.

I sure wish this wasn't my most accurate. Can't have everything good throughout a given year. Let's hope we get some better news than what is happening currently.AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 5:32 pmThis was your best one.
