First floor garage tucked behind ground-floor retail. Developers said they designed it so that some of the parking can be converted into more retail if in the future demand for that is greater than parking.

Is the garage entrance via the alley, or from Main via a driveway on the north side of the building?

From the looks of the renderings, it's located in the alley.

What building is Rieger going to have to tear down to replace some of their parking (I think people parked here for Rieger)

rieger has their private lot on the corner. no need for more, by their own admission.

So it appears ground has still yet to be broken. I like their cute little "groundbreaking" they did in front of the cameras. "We're breaking ground everybody. But not really. It's too cold to work outside. See ya in Spring!"

equipment is on site, actually, which is a new development.

Today I saw a pile of gravel and a backhoe.

Recently a permit came across for sewer repair work at this location.

There's a giant hole in the ground with a large cement structure placed in it. Something sewer related, apparently. Another bartender in the neighborhood and I did a shot of Mezcal last night on the site, to bless it. I'm incredibly excited for this project.

If it's been dead zone for a long time, it probably needed sewer upgrades to handle the new density.

it feels really good to see the asphalt dug up on this site!

Things are really moving here. Foundation work has been ongoing for a while and the rock base course has been rough graded across the site. Looks like the sewer work at the back end of the site is about wrapped up.

Couple new renderings I found on Copaken's website. Looks like they are the leasing agent for the 1st floor retail space.

yesterday the forms for the columns holding up the second floor were up. This project is progressing quickly.

Now if every surface lot down Main in Xroads could be filled in and provide a nice contiguous pedestrian scale experience from P&L to Union Station. That stretch of Main has the perfect opportunity to become Smith St south of downtown Brooklyn or Bedford Ave pedestrian strip in Williamsburg/Brooklyn.

I don't know if KC has enough developers/planners yet that really understand urbane 'contiguous pedestrian experience'. Most still think in isolation about just the boundaries of their project, not how the project fits in context with extended surroundings. Getting better though as this shows.
