Re: Downtown Buildings with Activity

Can we agree that the proposed signage is pretty garish? Otherwise, looks like a nice project. I hadn't realized the building was so empty.

Re: Fantasy Retrofits: Barney Allis Plaza

Does $119m seem like an astronomical number, or no?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

So stadium related developments east of Oak are dead for now? Would be a mistake to still not buy up a large amount of the property over there and plan some things. There are sites for two big buildings and a series of smaller gaps for smaller buildings. I will be with John Sherman later tonight an...

Re: Three Light

Those numbers would generally be considered full occupancy. Might want a year to make sure people aren't going from one and two to three as their leases expire. One would worry me the most at this point. They might have to do some midlife work on that because it's rough. Wouldn't be surprised to se...

Re: Fantasy Retrofits: Barney Allis Plaza

The new designs of BAP always show the plaza descending down to grade in front of Municipal Auditorium. With its massive limestone wall, I think there should be a permanent "Art on the Mart" style projection show, like they have on the riverwalk in Chicago. It brings people out! https://w...

Re: OFFICIAL - East Village

Alright this fire this thread back up since the Royals aren't going here. What are we going to do with this land? Let's get it back on the tax rolls and mitigate some of the loss from the crossroads stadium land. Feels like one challenge is most of the land is held by a single private owner. I thin...

Re: Missouri Amtrak Service

My proposal was always like an expensive bus that had like 4 stops. For awhile they were looking into it Same here. I would gladly pay $9.75-$11 for a trip to/from the airport on a coach bus that makes a couple of stops. I don't know how the demand would shape up from KCI, but have always thought t...

Re: Missouri Amtrak Service

I assume this is a clever way to study rail to the airport? I am admittedly not fully in the loop these days, but when this was announced it was the first I'd heard of any interest in reconnecting St. Joe to KC. Could overlap but this is really about St Joe and Omaha service (MSP later). MoDot had ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I get that the Royals had zero obligation to speak to or provide any assistance to business tenants who would be displaced, but purely from a practical and public relations standpoint, it clearly would have been a good idea to reach out to business owners and get them on board. Greasing the skids a...
