There is also that plot of land west of the HOK building where they are demolishing that large warehouse building.

Also there are large parking lots on three corners of Fifth and Main.

Another lot at the SE corner of Grand and E. 5th Street.

Another lot west of the Republic Paper Lofts at 2nd and Delaware.

Another parking lot on E. 4th between Oak and Locust, and another one on Locust between E. 4th and 5th streets.

There's also a large lot that has been cleared recently for that failed bank project bordered by Missouri, Independence, Grand, and Oak.

On the Columbus Park side, there are whole blocks that are designated for redevelopment north of 5th Street between Cherry and Troost, as well as the Berkley Riverfront Park parcels north of the railroad tracts.

I was thinking more like the 7+ acres this project took up. There are definitely a lot of medium/large plots that would work for something between the 200-300+ unit project and the 3-6 unit project. It seems like there's some interaction between the economies of scale, construction costs and land prices that seems to encourage these large 200+ unit rental projects.

Most of the medium scale new construction residential projects have been condos (again i wonder if it's because of the prices involved).

i think many of those sites require environmental remediation. not saying it wouldn't work, but decades of industrial use...

They claim occupancy is up to about 30% now, as of the Urban Tour. They said 40%, but that didn't jive with the other numbers they said. The raw numbers calculated to be about 30%.

As nearby river market resident who would like to know, nobody would happen to have the gate code for the pool there, would you?

PM me if you'd like a bottle of wine in return

i too would trade booze for that information...

While the KCRag Forum is wildly popular, I doubt that displaying the pool gate code on this site would create a noticeable rush and overrun the MS pool; so, let's have it (please)!

Let in all this rif raff and the place will be a community blight, needing a TIF redevelopment within a couple years.

OK, I'll offer temporary tattoos, Cliff's Notes for Investing for Dummies and manicures to any Rag forumer who provides the code.

Does anyone have the latest occupancy figures for them? I would love to know if they are on track with their plans.

A second request on occupancy rates if anyone has them.

http://216.119.82.16/wp-content/uploads ... arter1.pdf

According to this, rates in Q3 were $1.29/sqft for smaller units and up to $1.97. Upper end is pretty steep even for most major cities.

Ig, 74-75%. No substantial rent concessions. Continued good traffic (at least befor the snow).

75% is not bad considering they appear to be the priciest in KC metro. Would think once they hit 90%, it may encourage more construction of higher end rental units downtown.

They repainted part of this building blue. Maybe they're freshening it up because of 2nd and Delaware getting close to completion?

Posted: **Sun Apr 19, 2020 7:25 pm**

I like the blue, it would be nice if they repainted the whole building

Posted: **Mon Apr 20, 2020 2:14 pm**

Any idea if 2nd street will be opened up between Market Station and the 2nd & Delaware Apartments?
