Faultless linens is putting their properties on the market for development in the Xroads. It will be very interesting to see how these shake out. Good locations for a new use.

The company is now taking their properties off the market. Does anybody else see this as an opportunistic move to wait until their property values increase more? But I guess it could be that they have to focus more on finding a new space in St. Louis. Either way, it works out well for them.

The Star article actually points out that the white building on the corner of 19th and Broadway is currently under contract and in the due diligence process. This is the largest and most prominent of all their properties, I'm surprised that isn't the headline. Excited to hear what the plans are for that.

Article in the Star about this development:

With the proximity to the UMKC Conservatory campus, it would be nice if these could be affordable for students, but based on Opus's 51 Main development, that doesn't seem likely.

the 20th and main project will have 10% affordable units. second and main will have 20% (a short, free streetcar ride away). these two examples are voluntary. the city needs to get its shit together and tie TOD and incentives to an affordable minimum.

i sent feedback to the developer. pretty sure they haven't completed a planning review, so there would be a change to pass on feedback through them.

This development will also have less than one parking space per unit.

The developer said they will not be asking for incentives, but are going through the process in the hopes to have a "defined tax schedule" over the next 10-15 years.

If this starts along with the big development over on the Midwest hotel block this spring, the Crossroads area is going to look pretty cool with so much construction going on.
