Some of the complaints about the building were graffiti and missing windows. The same thing was said about The View before it was renovated.
If they can renovate that train station in Detroit like they have, they could have renovated the weld building. The city should have stepped up
and made it happen since that project going there is heavily subsidized.
And like I have said all along, I'm not a fan of new construction in the west bottoms. Not when 60% of the loop and crossroads is still undeveloped and areas like the river front and jazz district still need development.
Development in the WB is not helping downtown KC become more dense, it's probably doing more harm than good as it's isolated and every body will need a car. Development down there may as well be in a suburb. Developing the WB is especially bad since if it's requiring the tear down of one of the most substantial buildings in the area.
