Re: OFFICIAL - Wallstreet Tower (formerly US Bank Tower)

The temp got down to -16. It appears the freeze point wasn't -13 after all. The temperature downtown only reached -9. Downtowns mass effects air temps. Also, I didn't think the freeze point was being debated? -13 is literally from the manufacturer. The city was involved behind the scenes and had wh...

Re: Peck's Plaza at 1044 Main (former Missouri Bank & Trust)

It looks like some initial building out is done and this space is open for business again. Really nice video marketing it here.

Re: Midtown Area Apartment Boom

The City Manager sent out building inspectors and placed a hold on demolition because nothing was filed according to him. Nothing will be approved here until further notice as the next steps are taken. https://x.com/briandavidplatt/status/1753174028339077631?s=46 Sounds like a great time to lobby t...

Re: OFFICIAL - Wallstreet Tower (formerly US Bank Tower)

Over/under that this building collapses in the next 48 hours? Apparently the HOA drained and refilled the main support columns this summer with a fluid that has a freezing point of just -13F. :shock: I'm assuming everyone on here knows what happens when you freeze water based liquids? The temp got ...

Re: Is the Streetcar Extension bringing new development as promised?

.There’s something stuck in the gears, and I’m sorry everyone I don’t think it’s the minority led tenants union, but I digress Definitely other factors at play, but acting like they aren’t a factor is disingenuous. Agreed. Although in some folks defense, I don't think they realize yet that KC Tenan...

Our Defense has been pretty banged up with Omenihu out. Mike Danna and Karlafkis will start but the other backups haven't gotten much playing time either.

Hah, I write a long post about the multiple factors impacting development and investment along the streetcar, but nope, it's all Eric Bunch's and KC Tenants' fault. You're misunderstanding what we're saying. You're viewing it from the standpoint of "Why have no developments been proposed and t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I was with some of the key players this afternoon. I was told the full court press is on for East Crossroads but of course it’s not considered a done deal. There are just a few crucial items they’re trying to wrap up. If people refuse to sell, wouldn't it be tied up in litigation for a long time? N...

Is the Streetcar Extension bringing new development as promised? Has anyone created a development map along the line showing what's planned with the # of residential units and $$ totals to evaluate? I'm very disappointed so far. What do others think? There has been no shortage of proposals. The onl...

Re: Midtown Area Apartment Boom

The Mayor, Council, and City Manager aren't notified of every issued building demolition permit. However, they can request in advance to flag and be notified if a certain building has a demo permit requested--especially if it's on the historic register. Then they aren’t running their staff very wel...

Re: OFFICIAL - 909 Walnut

There must be more to the story. There would have been a final plat subdivision with survey filed when it became condos and that would be public record. It had low taxes for a few years but is back up now. Not sure when their 2nd phase of 353 abatement started but there must be a reason for the low...

Re: OFFICIAL - 909 Walnut

Will be interesting to see who buys the building and what becomes of it. Joel Worcester moved down the street into Wallstreet Tower, purchasing a condo and the lower level of the building. If you want a good laugh check out the tax history of the lower level units. The HOA allowed them to be re-dee...

Re: Midtown Area Apartment Boom

Gas lines shut off and barrier fence up. No one’s paying attention. Our leaders are too busy watching the Chiefs games and promoting their jobs after their term is over. Eh, our leaders are actually too busy fussing with the plaza while KC hemorrhages a historic building every month. Today one lead...

Re: OFFICIAL - 909 Walnut

all I can hope for is that Worcester gives up and sells to building to competent owners eventually, as the building itself is still quite nice. Looks like it only took about 2.5 years for this hope to become (partially) true, as Worcester has put the building on the market. Will be interesting to s...

Fences up at the old Salvation Army building on Linwood set to be torn down.
