Three Light is located just west of the recently completed Two Light in the exciting The Power & Light District in Kansas City, Missouri, all developed by The Cordish Companies. Like its predecessor, this newest and taller addition to the downtown skyline is a modern glass tower with masonry elements at the base. However, it boasts several distinguishing features, including its dynamic garage screen murals derived from the metrics and rhythms of classic KC jazz icons, dynamic expressed structure and rich articulation, as well as its signature silhouette against the sky.

Three Light is a 29-story, 321-unit mixed-use residential high rise building with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and 39 penthouse units on the top three floors. The base of the building features the resident lobby with its entry along Truman Road to the south, and 7,650 sf of retail space along Truman Road, Walnut Street, and Main Street, adjacent to a new Streetcar stop.

Like Two Light to the east, Three Light has a generous interior amenity space and exterior terrace at the 8th level. The new terrace, overlooking the heart of the entertainment district, will be connected to it’s neighbor by a new pedestrian bridge over Walnut Street so residents can enjoy the amenities of both buildings. The sophisticated, elegant identity of the new community is manifest in this richly programmed amenity space and its cantilevered, glass-walled pool framing the view north of the Power and Light District and the Main Street corridor.

It seems they could have had more amenities if they put part of them on top of the BRGR and Bristol buildings instead of all on top of the garage. This also would have allowed better connection from the residences to the district and been a benefit to the restaurants for rooftop dining.

They did what you’re suggesting at One Light because there’s no parking garage directly below the building. I’d look for them to possibly do something similar for 4L or at least explore the option where outdoor amenities are on top of existing retail.

I’d like to see them do a rooftop pool myself.

So, lower the parking deck so they line up. Either bury two levels or cut the space number. Probably don’t really need that much parking.

Nice. Finally.

So when do think they will start the buildings south of 670? Before or after 4 Light or whatever the building at the Main St Theater is called?

I haven’t had much conversation about that. To be honest, I don’t think all the players were on the same page about that information coming out as quickly as it did. From past conversations, I believe 4L will go up at the corner of 14th and main before they start across the way. Things change quickly though.
