Discuss items in the urban core outside of Downtown as described above. Everything in the core including the east side (18th & Vine area), Northeast, Plaza, Westport, Brookside, Valentine, Waldo, 39th street, & the entire midtown area.
Am rooting for this project to happen but am becoming a bit skeptical until it actually breaks ground. A potential catalyst project beyond the Troost momentum for E Side. https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/ ... d-use.html
The project's first phase is expected to break ground later this year, after UrbanAmerica exercises the first of several land purchase options outlined in a development agreement the city approved in July.

Skepticism apparently warranted as they don't have a very good track record of announcements relative to breaking ground. Any status on this? Once interest rates improve hopefully it moves forward. Needs to happen some day.

City is putting the pressure on the developer and/or trying to get out of contract.
Repealing Ordinance No. 231011 and directing the City Manager, in the event of the developer's failure to perform its contractual obligations, to terminate the 63rd and Prospect development contract and issue a request for proposals for the 63rd and Prospect development area.
WHEREAS, concerns exist about whether all parties will be able to perform all obligations under the agreement; and
So is the east elevation fronting Prospect? Walk up style units would be amazing, tho could be a concern for some being in a higher crime neighborhood of the city. More eyes on the streets will be very welcome. All in all it's amazing that this is happening and hopefully all phases get completed, this part of the city needs it! It's an important Southside intersection that ties together two very important hoods and could help boost ped improvements on the 71 thru the Southside.
