If leasing of PNL building goes well could we see a similar development on that site?
Yes, completely agree. It looks like a bomb was dropped directly in the center - awful.Eon Blue wrote:That pit where the old parking garage was torn down looks terrible. It still has the temporary fence up and looks like they just finished demolition work yesterday. I hope it does not fester like that for too much longer.
In the case of 12th & Grand and Quality Hill they appear to be buildings in transition for demolition.JBmidtown wrote:Has anyone else noticed the strange, undefined, polygonal renderings in the PDF? There's at least three of them (one south of Traders building, one in Quality hill and another directly west of the convention center on Broadway). What are those supposed to be placeholders for?
Aren't there 2 Hotel Indigos? And the Iron Horse and Hampton Inn in the Crossroads, as well as Holiday Inn Express (is this the Aparium?) and Embassy Suites in the old Federal Reserve?UrbanKC wrote:Current apartment/loft/condo projects to open this year or in coming years:

Not sure about the first two, I don't know enough about most of these projects. I only looked them up for the numbers. Federal reserve is included there.kcjak wrote:Aren't there 2 Hotel Indigos?

...there are 1.9 persons per household downtown. Though that includes about 3400 single family homes outskirts of DT that would likely have higher pph so let's go with 1.6 pph for buildings.
That would mean about 6400 boost in downtown population for about 4000 new units. Not too shabby, especially given most units are in RM/Loop/Xroads corridor.
Anyone have a recent estimate of greater downtown population? I'd expect it to be over 23K now, so if the case the new additions would put it around 30K.
Block Real Estate Services lists two city blocks in Crossroads
BRES Crossroads listing
BRES is listing 5.7 acres in the East Crossroads.
BY KRISTA KLAUS, Managing Editor
Block Real Estate Services, LLC (BRES) has brought to market almost six acres of prime real estate in downtown Kansas City's Crossroads Arts District, creating an "unmatched opportunity" for a large mixed-use or recreational project.
The two parcels of available land are located along 19th Street between Oak and Cherry streets and joined at Locust Street in the East Crossroads near Crown Center and the KC Streetcar.
"The inclusion of Locust Street in the sale of the Crossroads Arts District property offers an unmatched opportunity for a single buyer to come in and develop a substantial piece of business in the heart of Kansas City," said BRES Principal and listing agent Michael Block. "The site's size alone has tremendous value, since it can accommodate a large mixed-use development property."
Featuring flat terrain and centralized utilities, the development-ready land has an asking price of $7.541 million or $30 per square foot. Owners Crown Center Redevelopment Corporation and Kissel Properties will work with the City to ensure the site is built in accordance with existing plans for the area, according to a release.
Interested developers should contact Michael Block or Keiten Nuspl for more information.
Yeah, and that's just physical stadium sizes, not including plaza areas around the stadium.mean wrote:I was going to say, the site in question seems quite a bit smaller than what would be required for a ballpark. And that leaves out the problem of where you'd cram 20,000-odd cars.
I have always felt that the only way we turn around the 18th & Vine district is to back fill the east crossroads along 18th & 19th Streets headed toward Paseo. Perhaps a streetcar leg connecting Main to 18th & Vine will be the only way this happens.shinatoo wrote: The two parcels of available land are located along 19th Street between Oak and Cherry streets and joined at Locust Street in the East Crossroads near Crown Center and the KC Streetcar.
