Same.

I'm pretty sure they've removed the entire concrete floor in the Art of Pizza space. Seems like a pretty significant renovation.

I'm pretty sure they've removed the entire concrete floor in the Art of Pizza space. Seems like a pretty significant renovation.

Looks like they cut out concrete and put in plumbing in the floor. They've also installed a very large overhead vent fan like would be over a flatstove. I'm guessing a diner or mongolian bbq-type place.

Do we know who's really behind "1501 KCMO LLC"? I've been told who, but wanted to see if anyone else knows before putting potentially untrue information out there.

What did you hear?

A local construction company.

Well well well. Now we know for sure.

A Loopnet listing shows two designs for this. One with red brick and the other with white. Apologies if I'm posting this and work has been completed/underway. I'm not really aware.

White painted brick would really stand out on that corner. I like it

[KCPowercat]

Dave One will love it.

[DaveKCMO]

I do like the white brick!

You’re Dave One??? Someone call the cops!

Oh, that's the tagger isn't it? I thought it was maybe a typo.

How King G plans to rule a rebuilt Crossroads corner with a muffaletta and glass raised to perseverance

Rum, rye, and a retail renaissance are headed for the business district that sits just east of the Crossroads Arts District, teased Eric Flanagan.

“I’m passionate about sandwiches; I’m passionate about beer; I’m passionate about good service, good music. All the stuff I love, I’m trying to bring that into this place,” said the Kansas City entrepreneur, who is expected to open King G — a modern-twist on a classic delicatessen and bar — in July at 18th and Locust.
...
Weeks into construction, the corner of the building partially collapsed.

“I was sitting and watching football on a Sunday. My daughter who was about 10 months old was on my lap. I have a group text chain with all my buddies that I’ve known forever and somebody had a snapshot of somebody else’s Instagram post of this collapse. My buddy said, ‘Eric, is this near your place?’ And I said, ‘That is my place.’”
