Here is an interesting new submission on Compass - a request for a Prelimnary Project Code Review Meeting for a shipping container building at 511 Deleware: https://compasskc.kcmo.org/EnerGov_Prod/SelfService#/plan/e2889cae-bd8a-45d1-8c75-dd5b34cdbbd2 511 Deleware is an original brick 3-story buildi...

Here is a building that I believe is new to the market - the Laramie Tires Building at 1201 Union. Looks like it could have good potential. 120,000 sq ft: https://i.imgur.com/M2wyjAp.jpg https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1201-Union-Ave-Kansas-City-MO/16944306/ This building still appears to be on the...

I heard the owner of The Russell is going to be opening a new concept at 39th and Main (although not sure if it is 3933).

Well, this is disappointing. Seems like a downgrade from the previous proposal. I would much rather keep the original building. I know it is not a truly historically significant building, but when we have already demolished so much, we are losing any sense of place. Also, would prefer to have the re...

3521 Baltimore (just south of Armour Blvd) is up for sale. 59 Units for $4M. This is one of the last big apartments along the Armour corridor that could really use a renovation and new ownership - and probably one of the last in all of Midtown, aside from the Alcazar and Santa Maria on 39th St. Hope...

It looks like MCCKC has purchased the former Nazarene Publishing House on the 2900 Block of Troost. They have applied for a change of occupancy on Compass with construction permits valued at $13M. I don't see exactly what they plan on doing there. Maybe moving their office/headquarters to free up sp...

Here is a new plan on Compass for 5 infill single family homes flanking the existing home at 408 Olive St. https://compasskc.kcmo.org/EnerGov_Prod/SelfService#/plan/e0fe49b2-1436-46b3-ad3d-048d1200269b?tab=moreinfo Looks like they would be narrow and densely packed, like the original homes. Good to ...

I saw the display screen was up and running today. Sorry, I didn't snap a pic.

Another interesting bit in that article is that The Combine restaurant is supposedly opening soon in the Wonder Shops and Flats development. I assumed it was delayed due to Covid, but I noticed a new sign up in front of it for Solid State Pinball Supply and thought they might be taking that space (e...

In less than 2 months they doubled their vacancy? Was it the 1 year anniversary of opening or something? Thats not good news. I'm not sure what these numbers include, but isn't it possible that new apartments were added, maybe the the last phase - Icon at Gallerie - which looks like it is wrapping up

A few more updates on postings for bids on Dodge Construction: Westport Terrace at Manor Square Boutique Hotel was posted again for Planning Schematics on 8/28/20. Senior Apartments/Grocery in 64111 was posted on 8/25/20 for Planning Schematics valued at $7M. This must be the phase 3 of the Netherla...

There is new construction fencing up around the Firestone Building (31st and Troost) as well as the building just to the east. It looked like the Firestone Building was being worked on, and I think the newer and smaller building to the east may be getting demolished. As far as I know, the property s...

There is a new submittal on the Dodge Construction site for Planning Schematics for the 47 Madison Apartment Tower - $71.5M. https://www.construction.com/projects/dr-202000701756-47-madison-apartment-tower There is also one for a "31st and Summit Apartments". 1-3 stories, only $1-3M, so sounds like ...

There is a new application on Compass for rezoning 506 E 31st Street (Velvet Freeze) to Urban Redevelopment. There are no real details or plans on Compass. The only hint might be that Clockwork Architecture is involved. https://compasskc.kcmo.org/EnerGov_Prod/SelfService#/plan/362c7537-fe2e-497d-bec...

Is this the previous thread? https://kcrag.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=20486&start=20 No, that thread is about demo to the NE of 44th and Belleview, this project is to the SW of that intersection. It was originally called Midtown Crossing, then 44 Belle, and I guess they settled on West Plaza Flats.

There was a new plan submitted to Compass earlier this week for a multi-family residential development at 4434 Washington. Looks like it will involve demolishing the last three of the original little bungalow homes on that block. I don't see any renderings or details such as the number of units. The...

The rezoning and blight designation for the Oglesby Hotel (3930 Troost) for conversion to 25-unit affordable apartments is on the Neighborhood Planning and Development Committee agenda this week.

Yeah, it says Superior Linens needs a partner/investor/mentor. They definitely need some help. I'm not too surprised that they have some interest in development because all of their properties besides their main linen building are under the title of Superior Real Estate Venture, which would hint tha...

Not quite Martini Corner, but much of this is adjacent: I just happened to see on the Scott Associates website a Linwood Corridor Development that is dated October 2012. I have no idea who this was created for and why - although it does mention a Linwood Corridor Development task force apparently he...
