Re: Four Light
No, there is no existing structure that would support a residential tower. Would require being demolished back to dirt.Anthony_Hugo98 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 9:23 amYou’re talking the building next to the President, yes?

Re: Four Light
I thought 4L was gonna be connected to the theatre?
I want 4L around the south cap park so we can have giant wall with retail around the park (I trust Cordish to put retail there)

Re: Four Light
That still could happen but it seems like they're holding onto that spot for a hotel/residential combo.AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 4:35 pm I thought 4L was gonna be connected to the theatre?

Pity, i was hoping it had the structure similar to the Strata site.DColeKC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 3:21 pmNo, there is no existing structure that would support a residential tower.

That’s fine- as long they putting up something on that spot make a wall along the highway cap park then we’re good to go.DColeKC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 6:15 pmThat still could happen but it seems like they're holding onto that spot for a hotel/residential combo.AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 4:35 pm I thought 4L was gonna be connected to the theatre?

Is that “combo” tower gonna come before the ‘4L on retail’ tower?

Or a poured slab. Similar to the rally house space which had dirt floors until they signed on. That space was always setup to be a two story building complete with a elevator pit.

30 floor tower proposed next to the new 36 floor tower in STL. Design works well especially the retail podium for kc

Re: Four Light
Wow, the recent tower Mac did is a gem. I heard it was only 80% leased after almost 18 months but they seem to have faith. I'm actually surprised this is happening and there's no word on 2 Cardinal Way.normalthings wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 2:39 pm 30 floor tower proposed next to the new 36 floor tower in STL.

Re: Four Light
Many will disagree but Armour and Main should have something like these at each 4 corners, which would also give Midtown KC an identity, provides both Plaza/Downtown views and could create a new power center along RCP corridor. Score an Urban Target at base of one of them and it might appease neighbors.
And note to Cordish.. completely different designs.

Re: Four Light
Those two towers would look absolutely amazing in place of 2 and 3 Light (which are boxes on top of parking boxes). They would also look great in Midtown. I agree, Midtown needs something like this to give it some identity.earthling wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 4:47 pm Many will disagree but Armour and Main should have something like these at each 4 corners, which would also give Midtown KC an identity, provides both Plaza/Downtown views and could create a new power center along RCP corridor.

Re: Four Light
STL has a leading university and med center to support the leasing of these towers and yet 100 has taken an extended lease up period. KC may not be able to support those levels of rent.GRID wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 5:14 pmThose two towers would look absolutely amazing in place of 2 and 3 Light (which are boxes on top of parking boxes).

Put that idea around 39th and Main, and I’m right there with you. That intersection is viewed as the downtown of Midtown.earthling wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 4:47 pm Many will disagree but Armour and Main should have something like these at each 4 corners, which would also give Midtown KC an identity, provides both Plaza/Downtown views and could create a new power center along RCP corridor.

Re: Four Light
Three of the 39th/Main corners have 'original' buildings that would not go over well if proposed to be torn down. The 4 corners of Main/Armour do not. And one tower could go next to US Bank building so that doesn't really need to go.CorneliusFB wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 5:35 pmPut that idea around 39th and Main, and I’m right there with you.
