Something that bugged me today while looking at all of the posters they had put up is how there is a guy and girl in a rolling chair outside....

Construction is now visible well above street level, as the first wall for actual buildings has gone up.

Rtail shops a bookstore and a Steakhouse is what the original renderings show but I wouldn't be surprised if that has changed quite a bit.

Interesting all the different floor levels scattered over the block due to elevation changes.

Re: P&L District: 13th & Baltimore site proposal
The first floor levels are very lofty, much higher than on any of the other P&L and KC Live blocks. I am still hoping for a bookstore here. There is a nice sized Borders in 4th St Live in Louisville, but I could even settle for a Borders Express.

What is going on floors 2 and up? The entire block appears to already have at least 2 floors.moderne wrote: The first floor levels are very lofty, much higher than on any of the other P&L and KC Live blocks.

I was under the impression from some of the renderings that the bookstore got scrapped for the boutique department store (oxymoron?). I think a chain bookstore will open downtown regardless of whether Cordish brings them in.

Re: P&L District: 13th & Baltimore site proposal
is this block supposed to be U-shaped, facing west? or is there some sort of enclosed atrium?

Well it's going to be the site of the expansion of H&R Block when they decide to expand, maybe it has something to do with that.

Re: P&L District: 13th & Baltimore site proposal
Is there a reason why the retail in this portion has a concrete structure? It seems like the rest of the retail in the district is steel frame, it's kind of strange that this block should be all concrete structure. i was thinking maybe because it was built ontop of the parking garage, but the stuff on the 13th/walnut block are also ontop of a garage and were built with a streel structure as well.
So, any possible explanations?

That is the future site of the second Block tower, same with the jones store block which will have the condo/hotel tower on top.ComandanteCero wrote: Is there a reason why the retail in this portion has a concrete structure?

These buildings are being built as poured in place concrete structures. They have been designed to support a future building on top of them.
The garage in the live block is precast - it can't support a large multistory building on top of it. All of the buildings are steel frame because that is as large as they will get - two stories.
