Re: Lamp Post District - Mission, KS
Yeah interesting copy job here for sure, but I have certainly seen this project proceeding with a refreshing speed. Happy to see most of the construction fences come down recently.

Re: The Future
Would you be interested in sharing numbers regarding bandwidth, traffic counts, database size, hosting costs, etc? Anyway, I'd agree that some kind of voluntary supporter model would be perfect. I personally am the opposite of scooterj: I'd take a slightly discounted annual option if it were availab...

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway
According to the Shawnee Mission Post, Mission Mart has taken over the old Mission Bowl building and has indicated to the city that they intend to do something with it. They've taken steps to reduce the building's danger/nuisance factors. We shall see what comes of it. https://shawneemissionpost.com...

Successful cities don't build buildings like these. That isn't a coincidence.

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway
Concrete tilt-up has begun on the Cinergy building. Bar joist ceiling is going in. Cue shock and surprise on Nextdoor.

Re: Waddell & Reed - 14th & Baltimore
The biggest sin here, IMO, is absolutely nothing interesting on the ground floor. We don't need to sterilize this block for pedestrians and passersby.

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway

Recently, site work has been done to prepare for construc...

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway
Since my last post, lots of site activity mostly centered around flatwork. Plenty of concrete mixer trucks coming and going. And then a few days ago, Cinergy started going vertical. These photos are from yesterday. Today there are more cranes, concrete pumpers, etc and more structure going up: https...

No natural sunlight to wake you up in the morning is really a drag IMO.

Re: "Flashcube" Building - 720 Main
Many of you have probably noticed that the website on the sign is functioning. Thought I'd jot down some pricing info here for context. https://www.flashcubekc.com/floor-plans Studio -- $1,170 -- 473 sqft = $2.47/sqft One Bedroom -- $1,360 -- 630 sqft = $2.16/sqft Two Bedroom -- $1,665 -- 847 sqft =...

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway
Above-grade construction on the Cinergy portion is reportedly right around the corner. Garage foundation work has begun and appears to be proceeding nicely. And perhaps best of all, the lonely concrete pillars for the mixed-use buildings are now getting quite a bit of attention and TLC. Quite a bunc...

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway
The Gateway's Amended Final Development Plan went before the Planning Commission last evening. No minutes posted yet, nor have I heard the outcome, but given city staff's enthusiastic recommendation of the amendments, it presumably passed without any trouble. The amendments are not earth-shattering ...

Re: Downtown Mission/ The Gateway
Not much to show you visually, but the crews have been very active the last couple of weeks. They appear to have worked their way all the way across the site pouring piers/piles, so perhaps we'll see something above grade soon. Utility work underway (stormwater or wastewater, I think) on Roe with th...
