North Kansas City-based Maxus Properties Inc. is in the early planning stages for an 11-story apartment high-rise with around 235 apartments at the southeast corner of Oak and Third streets.
Tentatively dubbed Defeo, the $45 million tower proposal includes nine stories of construction atop a two-story concrete parking podium.
The apartments will be a mixture of studio, one- and two-bedroom units, ranging from 600 to 2,000 square feet, and with higher-end finishes intended to appeal to younger professional tenants, said Jake Gifford, vice president of development for Maxus.
"Through the use of strategically sized roof decks and stair-stepped apartments, the building will meld into the fabric of the neighborhood rather than dominating its surroundings," he said.

Formerly on the site was 1930s warehouse building torn down in 2015.

Re: Defeo "Tower" - 3rd & Oak
is it the area with a small parking lot and then a vacant lot? Looks like the other around there have building on them. Strange Days Brewing is a fun place so I hope that's not the side of the street

Yes. Pre-dug for the ground floor of the garage to be below ground on 3 sides.

Hopefully the neighborhood doesn't complain about the 11 floor height. If none, could set the stage for the taller construction planned along Delaware w/out resistance.

The parcel includes much of the surface parking south of the dug-out area where the building used to stand:

Also change some of the building fronting oak street to retail instead of garage

Pleased for the density, but let's hear a little more about what's happening at ground floor before we get out the champagne.

South side will abut another propert. Oak is main/only concern.

Re: Defeo "Tower" - 3rd & Oak
There is an alley along the east side of this property that could be utilized for garage entrances rather than the 3(?) I am seeing along 3rd and Oak street sides.
