Re: Three Light
also the illegal left turns from northbound Grand are frustrating.

Re: Three Light
It appears they started putting the garage facade up on Main. A charcoal color.

I took the drone out today. Additional photos can be found in other threads and in the "Chris Stritzel's Drone" thread.

Re: Three Light
Beautiful Chris. Thank you.
From the angle facing southwest (in your photo); one could be forgiven to ask, " Is that Kansas City?"
Consider this: All buildings in that camera angle are less than three years of age..
That's pretty neat. (Great photography.)

Re: Three Light
Awesome shots Chris, thank you! 1400 building looks great from this height and SW angle...

Re: Three Light
I like the first photo view as well. It really shows the transformation that's taking place. Reverb, Two Light, Residence Inn/Courtyard, Three Light, Loews, and 1400 are all visible. All were built over the past 6-7 years.
The second photo is my personal favorite of the bunch since you're closer to the street, the Power and Light Building is just barely visible, and you can see more details in the older buildings.

Re: Three Light
That 1400 building really turned out nice. It contrasts well with the other new buildings.

Re: Three Light
The gradual increase in scale of the light buildings directly next to their neighbors helps them blend well into the area, rather than just a small building completely dwarfed by a much larger one side by side.

Re: Three Light
Garage facade material is just as ugly on 3 Light as it is on OCW
Re: Three Light
Did they actually get air rights to build over the sidewalks, or is somebody just making an expensive mistake? It seems crazy that this building is being built with zero, or even negative setback.

Re: Three Light
The sidewalk is on their lot. You can see it on KC Gis. Best view was when they surveyed the parcel before building 3 Light.

Re: Three Light
The public sidewalk is still to the left of that pic.
Re: Three Light
This is why I’ve never been worried about a “glass wall” as some have voiced. It’s a valid concern but I’ve felt with the difference in design and height, it will look great and not like a wall of 4 matching buildings.Rusty Irish wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 7:44 pm The gradual increase in scale of the light buildings directly next to their neighbors helps them blend well into the area, rather than just a small building completely dwarfed by a much larger one side by side.

I’m kind of just blah on it. Think I’ll like it when it all comes together.

Re: Three Light
I like that dark corner facing south on Main. Looks like an electronic sign is going in that rectangle?
Re: Three Light
Beautiful pics and super impressive progress. If memory serves, 2 Light, 3 Light, 1400KC, and the Loews hotel were all surface lots. More of this, faster!
