Freight House Podium Project - 20th and Walnut

[DaveKCMO]

3D filed plans today for 100E 20th Street. Outdoor pickball coming soon.

Seems a bit odd for the middle of the City, but I guess it'll be a placeholder and popular.

Activates existing buildings/lots and doesn't displace any residents. Very active use.

NE Corner of 20th & Walnut Redevelopment is moving forward. Basically the REC Bar idea from KC Star Building with the addition of doggy day care.

Where is/has Farm To Market relocated?

I remember seeing a rendering on here of yet another NSPJ multi-family development for part of this property. I assume that is dead.

Grim but easily replaced in the future.

Grim Active but easily replaced in the future.

Eeeesh, I mean yeah. Just seems like a wildly low-intensity use. But as far as design BNIM have done a good job.

Good spot for some recreation, minimal investment required, leaves it open for easy future development.

I hear you all, and I get it. I'm just a little surprised that we're deploying placeholder urbanism, a la Riverfront, in what is supposed to be one of our hottest neighborhoods. But it's a weird time!

I'm not

"we" is the owner of the property that gets to choose how big the building is

If you're going to act confused about how capitalism works you're just going to look silly.

Hi, my name is Frying Embryo and let me tell you how you are wrong.

Golly, thanks! Maybe I can find an internet discussion board where we're (meaning all of us) allowed to have discussions about development and the future of our city as a royal We.

This development makes sense if you look at it in the context of there being a surplus of development sites downtown which are just sitting around waiting until its their turn to be built on. This development would be bad news if it indicated a lack of demand for new construction, but new proposals still seem to keep popping up at steady intervals.

[langosta]

ODDO had no near-term plans to develop the property. This isn't really replacing a solid proposal.

I doubt we see anything else built there until after the Grand-McGee-19th-20th block gets built out. And everything south of there that has been announced is just that--a plan. There is no guarantee it gets built. Anything can happen.

Good point!
