Re: Possible USOPC Training Center KCI
I'm surprised they haven't considered converting the American Royal complex for something like this. It's near Hy-Vee Arena and there might be crossover use there.

Re: Real Estate Listings of Interest (Metrowide)
My understanding is that the townhomes must have an HOA--for themselves--for common areas and common physical structures, like adjoining roofs. The rowhomes should not fall under laws governing condos and pre-sale. It would seem to me the way to go would be townhomes/row house, that share common wa...

Re: Real Estate Listings of Interest (Metrowide)
Rowhouses and townhouses are charming, but bear in mind when developing that many older people who are looking to downsize, need places with no stairs. Makes the hunt for affordable housing as an elder even more difficult. There is also an old-timey solution like this that could be placed randomly ...

Re: Columbus Park Redevelopment
It's being done on the West Side. Much of the rebuilding of the neighborhood has been done in "one-off" situations where a developer has built one house and sold it, or someone commissioned a house to be built. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0894013,-94.5934237,3a,48.2y,32.42h,102.98t/dat...

Re: Columbus Park Redevelopment
Sadly, that tale is often the case and why it takes so long to redevelop even vacant parcels. If I were a large developer, I'd create a master plan for the CP acreage with streets, sidewalks, alleys, landscaping, etc. and divide it into smaller parcels. I'd have other small developers build just a f...

what was the scope of the study? Crossing the RR is one problem but even using industrial is pretty treacherous and I wouldn't recommend anybody walk it currently. It's a little hard to define.

Re: Columbus Park Redevelopment
I'm surprised they didn't go for a 3-story above the front grade instead of 2-story. It could have been a 3-story with basement. That could have made it possible to create a multi-generational house. I think that would sell quickly in a neighborhood with people of Italian and Vietnamese descent.

Yeah we need more rowhouse in KC but I wouldn't touch those due to the proximity to the highway. Glad they got built though! The six acres in Columbus Park around 4th and Gillis should be all rowhouses. We are looking at 3 plots of land near CP Lofts are are likely to be townhomes and live/work spa...
