Per the plan submitted to PIEA in January of this year, it looks like ground breaking won't be until Spring 2022 with construction running through Fall of 2024 (I'm not sure if that end date is just the first phase, or if it includes everything).

They'd be a good partner for this. Continue their investments in the City of KC and Region with this one at Freighthouse.

Re: Freight House Podium Project - 20th and Walnut
This is a positive outcome considering that these parcels are near a railyard and a viaduct over that railyard.
It still amazes me that parcels like these are getting developed before ones in the East Village, or the North Loop parking lots.

If EV wasn't controlled by a single entity, things might be different.

Any yet Cordish gained control of multiple blocks and developed them. I agree with you though that the EV would probably have seen movement had the blocks been divided up between multiple developers.

Still hoping the building along Main ends up looking like this. The massing and interaction is perfect.

Having some difficulty believing they can pull this project off. They’ve been working on the star building for nearly four years without much to show, and that was an existing building

A big difference is the podium is mostly residential, right? The Star was all office and retail.TheLastGentleman wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 9:16 am Having some difficulty believing they can pull this project off.

Is the garage for joint use of residential/hotel/office in the lower floors of the hotel/office?

"The Podium" is the combined office and hotel tower. That is a future phase with its own garage. As far as we know, that garage will just be for office and hotel users.
The shared garage in the first phase will be below the apartment building on Walnut it looks like.
