I was thinking more like the 7+ acres this project took up. There are definitely a lot of medium/large plots that would work for something between the 200-300+ unit project and the 3-6 unit project. It seems like there's some interaction between the economies of scale, construction costs and land prices that seems to encourage these large 200+ unit rental projects.FangKC wrote: There's a fairly large plot of land along Missouri Avenue/5th Street at Central west and north of the newer part of the Conover Lofts.
There is also that plot of land west of the HOK building where they are demolishing that large warehouse building.
Also there are large parking lots on three corners of Fifth and Main.
Another lot at the SE corner of Grand and E. 5th Street.
Another lot west of the Republic Paper Lofts at 2nd and Delaware.
Another parking lot on E. 4th between Oak and Locust, and another one on Locust between E. 4th and 5th streets.
There's also a large lot that has been cleared recently for that failed bank project bordered by Missouri, Independence, Grand, and Oak.
On the Columbus Park side, there are whole blocks that are designated for redevelopment north of 5th Street between Cherry and Troost, as well as the Berkley Riverfront Park parcels north of the railroad tracts.
Most of the medium scale new construction residential projects have been condos (again i wonder if it's because of the prices involved).
