Hopefully the design is at least slightly more inspired than the current building.

I think the rendering in the video is more inline with what is actually being constructed:

I don't know why, but I never envisioned the Roasterie to be the kind of company that would even consider adding drive thrus.

Take a look at the renderings on twolightkc.com. Art is planned for the three floors without windows in your picture and the north wall, I believe.

They put it up about 2 weeks ago.

This has been one of my most anticipated developments downtown recently, but I toured a few of the units during the Urban Homes Tour last month and was pretty disappointed by what they were offering.

Progress has been pretty slow over the last month. They're taking their sweet time with the amenity level, and the holidays and cold temperatures didn't help.

I've seen some cities with signs at some problem intersections that say '$300 ticket for causing gridlock' that I'd like to see KC adapt. The ...

The pricing sheet I received from one of the leasing agents lists parking at $100/space. I'm not sure what to believe anymore. Unless one space is included and each additional is $100?

Do they plan on putting anything on the front of the building? It's just a blank brick wall with that rustic looking metalwork. It feels like it's missing a sign or something.

That entrance is closed most of the time, isn't it? Most days when I'm driving by after work they have a sign blocking the entrance.

The highway department and the city of Kansas City said the new Grand bridge will include bike paths and wider sidewalks.

I'm still not a fan of the materials and awful color choices, but I will say it looks a lot better than the original renderings.
