Re: Midtown Area Apartment Boom
I am fairly confident Mac is not the buyer of these properties. You make your money on the purchase, and they are bottom-of-the-barrel buyers. You have to think they are keeping tabs on property owners along this stretch. If something in this area gets listed, it's likely because the owner thought they could do better than Mac's offer.

More permit info is out. Looks like a mixed use project in the works. I would be shocked if not MAC

Apparently, the Westport High redevelopment includes demolishing the Fast Stop and replacing with a new restaurant building (I believe that may be in the 4th and final phase).normalthings wrote: ↑Wed Oct 21, 2020 9:30 pm Westport High School to be renovated into a 133 unit apartment building with 20,000sqft of office.

Everyone knows the "Crack Stop" moniker for that convenience store. I don't think I have stepped foot in there in about 15 years. Does anyone know if it still lives up to that name? Warwick Blvd has really been cleaning up over the last few years, so I wonder if anything has changed.

It's not nearly as bad as it was in the mid-late 90's. Not somewhere I linger, but also not somewhere I feel unsafe picking up a cheap sixer.

BizJournal article says that the developer won an extension to complete the first phase of this project (Midtown Plaza) by 12/31/2021 (originally was supposed to be 12/31/2020). The article also says that the first phase is 75% complete.

Re: Midtown Area Apartment Boom
A nice chunk of those empty lots will be filled in by phases 2 through 4 of this project. There hasn't been any official announcement, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of those phases start soon - they were recently put up for bids. Also, maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention to how it looked before, but I feel like the construction fencing around this project was recently expanded to surround the sites of the next two phases

"The Mainland" appears to be the working name for the new MAC project.

One of the first permits was file for this redevelopment. Permit to construct a social clubearthling wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:57 am Yet another Midtown plan thanks to streetcar extension looking more realistic.
https://cityscenekc.com/big-redevelopme ... in-street/The historic Kansas City National Guard Armory at 3620 Main is slated to be renovated as a food court and boutique hotel, part of the redevelopment wave occurring along Main Street in anticipation of the planned extension of the streetcar line.
The armory renovation plan calls for the main floor, where up to 400 soldiers once drilled, to be renovated as a food hall and bar.
The upper mezzanine level would become a 36-room boutique hotel. A 40-foot wide courtyard would be located on the south side of the building.
It’s part of an ambitious redevelopment plan for much of the block that includes building a five-story, 80-unit apartment project at 37th and Main, and building a dozen single-family townhouses behind the old armory along Baltimore Avenue.
