Oxbow NKC (18th and Swift)

Post by Chris Stritzel »

Note that the drawings are from February 2020, so things may have changed.

8-story, 191-unit apartment building with 242 parking spaces planned on the parking lot at 18th and Swift. Rosemann and Associates is the architect on this. Sunflower Development is the developer.

It was mentioned more recently that the building is 9-stories with 208 apartments and 3500sf of retail space.
The market-rate apartments include 35 studios, and 139 one- and 34 two-bedrooms, ranging from $950 to $1,750 a month. Among these are penthouse units on the building's ninth floor. The community's amenity space includes a rooftop pool delivering views of the Kansas City skyline and Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport.
Estimated cost is $49 Million.

Surprised that no renderings have been put out there yet by anyone, or at least I can't find them.

From the North KC thread. I'm surprised they need two cranes.

They loom over NKC when heading south on 169. The photo above from that distance don't do it justice.

The building itself is going to tower over it's current surroundings.

Crane was reassembled, but instead of jumping it the typical way, they disassembled the crane and reassembled it, just taller. Now it really stands out.

Thread renamed from "Curran Park Lofts (18th and Swift)" to "Oxbow NKC (18th and Swift)"

According to the architect, the project is now named "Oxbow". A rendering is included too. Ground level activation on 18th is an F.
North Kansas City and MC Realty Group and GSSW Real Estate Investments are collaborating with Rosemann to design an infill 9-story multifamily development on approximately 1.4 acres with 3,500 square feet of first-floor retail at 18th Avenue and Swift Street in downtown North Kansas City.

The Oxbow project supports the need for additional housing in North Kansas City with 208 total units, including: spacious studios, 1- and 2-bedroom layouts, as well as penthouse suites. The project also delivers a large community/amenity space on the 9th floor providing a range of uses including a community kitchen, pub space, private work rooms, outdoor pool, and pool deck with unmatched views of downtown Kansas City.

It drives me crazy that a building this tall -- that was announced fairly recently-- is being built in NKC. Yet, the former headquarters parcel for J.E. Dunn, between 9th and 10th and Charlotte and Holmes, doesn't have a similar building already built. There's no reason for it. They don't need that parcel for a downtown baseball stadium. The City has controlled the block, and the land has been cleared, for some time. Downtown absorption is quick, and properties are maintaining a high occupancy rate. It's like VanTrust isn't really trying.

The East Village block is larger than the NKC parcel, so it could handle a larger building with more units. It's also a two blocks from the transit center.

I was up in NKC going to Cinder Block last week and that building has an absolutely massive presence.

The south facing units will have one of the most spectacular skyline views in town. Will they have a community party room on top?

Nice view! But this really makes me realize the skyline has not changed one bit for over thirty years when viewed from the north. You can just barely see some of the low rise stuff in the river market.

You are *spot-on*.

The days before I could legally drink, sporting a "fake ID" in my wallet.. The approach to DT from the north has not changed EXCEPT for the courthouse.

all of the new towers have been in P&L, nothing new added to the Central business District or north end of downtown for decades. A lot of renovations and such, but nothing that adds new vertical buildings. Maybe a few of the 10 story buildings in the RM area will pop up a bit in the view on approach from the North. But until some of those surface spaces around the north end of downtown get vertical buildings or the parking garages designed to have buildings on top of them go up, the view will not change much at all
