Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List
I mean it's not extremely visible like all the newer branches popping up on Main (equally yuck) but they did have a streetfront presence. Heck off 12th you could look right into the tellers.

Wtf do these banks do? I can't remember the last time I got cash out of an atm let alone go inside one, but every single new tenant downtown is a bank.

In my experience, the downtown ones seemed to be geared towards working with small businesses in the area and to serve as advertisements for their brands. Considering we have plenty of open retail spaces, I see no problem with all of these banks.
Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List
I don't have a problem with them. I'm sure many businesses still need a place to do cash drop offs.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 11:11 amIn my experience, the downtown ones seemed to be geared towards working with small businesses in the area and to serve as advertisements for their brands.

Yeah its basically a live billboard given they are almost all on the streetcar line. Problem with bank taking up retail space is no retail tax income but yeah it's not like we have a dearth of space.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 11:11 amIn my experience, the downtown ones seemed to be geared towards working with small businesses in the area and to serve as advertisements for their brands.

Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List
One of my banks just upgraded their ATM to accept cash deposits, another already had this. Don't need to go inside any more for this on the small scale business and individuals.
I figure if you have too much cash for drive thru you're already being given special treatment when you go in because you would hold up the line inside too.
Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List
And they're dead space because as far as I know no one belongs to twenty banks and you can't just go in and have a coffee.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 11:28 amYeah its basically a live billboard given they are almost all on the streetcar line.

I mean it's fine, I'm glad they're downtown. It just feels like every new building or tenant space is a fucking bank.
Should at least get some downtown crime bosses and start money laundering and get some local revenue. Where's the mafia when you need them?

Banks can always get easy financing to build.

Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List
I'm surprised some big bank (like Chase) hasn't swooped in and bought the former Federal Reserve Bank building to stake their flag in the market. Given the right offer, and the endless delays in renovating the building, they could probably have gotten the developer to sell, or convert their plan to bank office space.

Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List
A lot of EDC staff left since Lucas came into power and he reduced their budget by a sizable amount. I don’t know if the staff and leadership is there anymore to go after those sorts of projects.FangKC wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 12:48 am I'm surprised some big bank (like Chase) hasn't swooped in and bought the former Federal Reserve Bank building to stake their flag in the market.

I think Lucas is probably a better mayor for the civil unrest, but he’s not nearly as pro Economic development as our region needs IMHO.normalthings wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 1:47 amA lot of EDC staff left since Lucas came into power and he reduced their budget by a sizable amount.

Ehh. Lucas's trait of "tell people what they want to hear" worked at first but has started to wane in effectiveness.Anthony_Hugo98 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 3:43 amI think Lucas is probably a better mayor for the civil unrest, but he’s not nearly as pro Economic development as our region needs IMHO.normalthings wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 1:47 amA lot of EDC staff left since Lucas came into power and he reduced their budget by a sizable amount.

Re: Power and Light District Official Tenant List
The BofA location in One KCP is being renovated. It is possible that this permit has the wrong location attached. Great news if that is the case. It will be nice to open One KCP up to the outside.normalthings wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 4:24 pm Bank of America is opening a location in what appears to be the Kaldi’s Coffee spot.
Location: 1201 Main St , Kansas City, MO, 64106
Description:Remodel for Bank of America as a new tenant with store front work.

This renovation proposes an Advanced Center 2.0. It is a tech-focused, humanless location. Looks like it will have a different purpose than the human staffed location that exists today.
This is a link that describes the 1st generation.

Status of the permit is now "Voided".
