Side note - thoughts on why Strawberry Hill hasn't really taken off yet? It's close to DTKC, has a nice collection of restaurants and bars (albeit not high-end), interesting views and history. Housing stock just too old/small? KCK decay/reputation gets in the way? Is crime an issue? Often had these...

Solid. If you can get this, the Reardon Center redevelopnent rolling, the KCKCC going, and the renovation of that building at 6th and Minnesota underway, Downtown KCK will actually start to get better.

The Midland Lofts website says 53 apartments are available of the 135 being built. Already 60% leased if that's the case. Could they open with a 90%+ occupancy number?

33 available apartments. 75.5% pre-leased.

Project website launched. Nothing new in here... yet.

I wonder if a stipulation in the RFP is that this project must be completed within a certain number of years. I recall 12th and Broadway’s stipulation was that it must commence after Barney Allis Plaza is rebuilt. It wouldn’t surprise me if Block and Riverstone advance their plans before next spring.

This makes a good deal of sense. It'll be a race against the clock, but it can be done.

KC development proposals are heating up again. It’s good to see. Need to get done

Theres also 210,000sf of office in these plans. Plus parking. So those make some buildings look bigger

The complaints about parking are loud and clear. People really show their stupidity on this subject.

I imagine that’s what Cordish’s project will yield.

These are only renderings and plans are subject to change, but let’s take a moment to appreciate the vision. This is very dense and increases the density of the Berkley Riverfront significantly from the initial master plan. Getting the 400+ residential units, 10+ restaurants, and 2+ acres of park en...

I thought he was fired from Sporting.

In a move that surprises no one, and should hurt KCTenants unless they give him the boot, Hartzell has come out as a Marxist.

Brightline West is breaking ground next week. Connecting Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga (with a connection to Los Angeles via MetroLink). Overall travel time from Las Vegas to LA would be comparable to the drive from LA to LV on I-15 WITHOUT traffic. - Trains will depart every 45 minutes. - Operating...

I think the design concept the Royals were riding with was meant to honor the brick buildings of the Crossroads while being more moderm, which makes sense. You don't, and shouldn't, want to build a faux-historic stadium. At the same time, you don't want to completely run the oppositie direction and ...

Anyone hear anything about these townhomes going up?

Seems the developers are trying for the 500ft option again. 11 applications amde to the FAA for a 500ft blanket building height across the site.

A 9 unit building is being proposed for 3933 Kenwood. It would replace two single family homes. This is just down the street from the 3 new duplexes (not sure if it is the same developer). I'm sure some neighbors will flip their shit over how modern the design is: https://i.imgur.com/yb2WdbG.jpg ht...
