Its been years, so correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this project originally sold as a mixed-use transportation hub? To me, it looks like it has morphed into solely a suburban office building project.

I’m not sure. The “new rendering” is certainly more detailed than those released previously. The structure portrayed in the “new rendering” appears to be more in line with other CLT buildings (CLT offices specifically).Critical_Mass wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 11:48 amso, is the larger rendering more recent?

Looks more like a hotel now because of the windows or maybe they are doing that to make it fit in with the surroundings better. Either way, good to see some more height added to this.

The transit aspect is supposed to be on the NW corner and north side.
Re: 3rd & Grand to be redeveloped as TOD
Maybe I am misunderstanding this project - we've seen several rounds of renderings at this point and know Briarcliff is paying an ongoing fee for the development rights. But is this happening? When? Is the project still "proposed" until a tenant(s) comes along?
This will fill a massive hole on the northeast side of market area - really hope it comes to fruition.

I would imagine that it’s a combination of both. 2 things lead me to believe that the project is happening sooner rather than later.rxlexi wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 9:50 am Maybe I am misunderstanding this project - we've seen several rounds of renderings at this point and know Briarcliff is paying an ongoing fee for the development rights.

1. The project recently started going through the steps of getting incentives.
2. KCADC has been meeting with the developers

You have to wonder if Briarcliff's announcement of a new office building in Riverside wasn't the blow that made the KCATA shut the process down.

I have no idea of when Briarcliff began talking internally about a new building in Riverside.
Re: 3rd & Grand to be redeveloped as TOD
I think "expired" is the correct word.normalthings wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2019 7:52 amThe agreement with Briarcliff was terminated in February.
Re: 3rd & Grand to be redeveloped as TOD
I'm thinking "expired when the KCATA declined to renew or continue with Briarcliff" is correcter.
Re: 3rd & Grand to be redeveloped as TOD
A new RFP was published seeking development proposals for this site, as well as 12th & Charlotte and 31st & Troost.

Teams where selected but then nothing ever happened after that. IMHO, EPC shouldn't have been allowed to win another RM site after sitting on others for years.

4 spaces for park and ride. That doesn’t seem right
