The craziest thing is the Spokes building was a late addition to the project and yet it is the best part.kboish wrote:Scratch that. I was thinking cityscape=Cityclub apartments at 19th and main.kboish wrote:Tell us more. Why? I like the looks of their first project.smh wrote:

Now I see that cityscape did the "Crossroads Westide" apartments, Apex and Summit at quality hill. Yeah, I'm skeptical of their urban abilities. They did one building in the Apex development that looks great (where Spokes Cafe is located). The others all look like apartments from 120th and Holmes. Summit in quality hill is just meh...

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
Breaking news, "living downtown is expensive, there is little money in new subsidized housing construction at prime urban locations." Maybe people just need to move a couple blocks east, plenty of affordable housing.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
This is the first time I have heard of this proposed development.
http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/ar ... 21684.htmlThe elimination of the state tax credits has already derailed the construction of at least one low-income housing building downtown.
Last summer, Prairie Fire Development Group drew up plans to tear down the former Kansas City Public Schools headquarters at 1211 McGee St. and construct a 400-unit mixed-income apartment building. The plans included lofts reserved for teachers and possibly a second grocery store for downtown.
Prairie Fire partnered with a New Jersey company, The Michaels Organization, and submitted a proposal to the school district.

Is Prairiefire the group that completely screwed up the redevelopment of Columbus Park?

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
Report: Downtown nears 16,000 apartments — with more on the way
https://dashboards.mysidewalk.com/state ... mo/housing
https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/ ... j=86384561...
According to the survey, Downtown had roughly 15,700 housing units in 2017, and the report projected hitting 17,000 in 2018. By 2020, it estimates that Downtown will have just less than 20,000 housing units. For comparison, Downtown had 10,322 units in 2000.
...
The average rent in Downtown is $850, according to the report. About 1,800 people pay between $500 and $749, about 2,500 pay between $750 and $999, and another 2,500 pay between $1000 and $1,499.
Although Downtown presents plenty of options for renters, the buyer's market is smaller. There are about 1,600 single-family detached units and 744 condo-occupied condo units in buildings with 50 or more units, in addition to a smaller number of units in smaller complexes.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
So downtown nears 16K apartments...two years ago. And saying 2,500 people pay between $1000 and $1499 - shouldn't that be 2,500 apartments rent between that amount since more than one person can live in some apartments? I know it's nitpicking, but I have to write stuff like this as part of my job and a poorly-worded report calls a lot into question.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
A new downtown report claims downtown population is over 29K and anticipated to hit about 33K by end of this year and near 40K by 2025. Attention Target!

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
New 20 floor condo tower in Lincoln Nebraska is fetching $400-550 per sqft. I can't help but think that KC would be just as capable of supporting a project like this. If they made it work, what are we (pre-corona) missing?
Height: 250 feet
Units: 37 condos, almost all have been sold; ground floor retail, 1 floor of office
Cost: $30 million
The floors have just 3 units each and the building was built up against an existing parking garage. The site formerly held a 1-floor residential building (this is very similar to the low rise structure on the north end of the Consetinos garage.

60 units is only twice the size of Union Carbide Condos original plan (28 units on 7 floors) and they had problems selling units. Ended up renting most of them.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
so we don't have these projects. It's frustrating for those of us wanting to buy downtown. Inventory sucks.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
The building I gave the example of has 13 units that if you asked about I bet they would not renew the lease and sell to you.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 8:25 am so we don't have these projects. It's frustrating for those of us wanting to buy downtown. Inventory sucks.
There must not be as much demand as you say.
They've only sold 8 units since the building was completed and that was in ~2010 (floor 4 sold before completion and was setup as double units)

The lack of demand for existing condos is likely a big part of why new buildings aren't setup as condos.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
That's almost 25% of that new building in Omaha
Isn't 25% close to the amount needed to fill before a bank will approve a loan for a condo building?
If a builder is seeing a lack of a demand for buying 1000 square feet 2BR units they're going to think twice about building condos since that describes a huge percentage of units being built.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
Downtown's lack of condos is helping Plaza condo market, which has a much higher % of total units. Is pretty rare for new condo construction across most of US lately as lenders typically want at least 50% sold before building. I wonder if Buffett was involved with making the Lincoln building happen. Is easier for developers to build leased units, get over 90% occupancy then convert to condo over time, which has been the trend since 2008 housing crash. Is probably a good time for One Light to start condo conversion if Cordish was ever intending to eventually do that.

Re: Downtown New Residential Units
These look really tight but nice. I'm nitpicking but I'm not a fan of the elevator situation. You exit the elevator and than have to walk through a door into the hallway? Not exactly a great first impression but likely done for fire safety reasons.normalthings wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 11:08 pm

The 1 bedrooms appear to be smaller than the 1 bedrooms in Two Light?
