Renovations of apartment buildings along Armour Blvd.

[moderne]

Have been in the new bank twice. Both times they were having computer problems, blaming it once on the construction across the street and the other time on the overhead high voltage lines. Off hours you need debit card to get into vestibules where the ATMs are.

Good to see "The Crosswalks" buildings all topped out and the facade going on the one at the Northwest corner of the intersection. This is a project that should be replicated many times over across the city.

Those are some great pictures. I drive by this project every day and it has been great to see the progress they are making. Really hoping all of the ground floor retail spaces fill up quickly. It would be a easy way to demonstrate their contribution to the neighborhood.

Need to copy/paste this 4 corner catalyst project at a dozen other intersections throughout E Side.

And north, south, and west. Give this to me everywhere two significant streets intersect. I cannot get enough of this.

My question is: How do we make this the default in KC rather than the exception? This project only exists in this form because MAC understands how to create functioning, walkable places. It seems to me that we are lucky this was built in this way.

We make this the default by pushing for this corner to succeed. I've already seen/heard locals complaining about the bank and grocery store (which is installing it's fridges and freezers today!). When the other two first-floor tenants go in, locals will no doubt complain about those too.

Let's work on fostering a welcoming and optimistic neighborhood attitude toward development, not just a "ew, something new" knee-jerk.

What's the complaint? Bank too boring, sure. But a grocer?

Too expensive! No parking! Gentrification!

Maybe?

Let them eat cake.

There are always going to be people determined not to be pleased.

Yup, pretty much it. People just ready to be angry.

Looking solid.

Can we do this at 39th and Broadway PLEASE!! Maybe with more balconies. An classic colonnade-inspired complex would be awesome there.

Totally agree, tear down the new Gomers and replace it with this.

Or just put Gomers on L1. They're looking to expand their store anyway

I wonder what will happen on the SE corner now that Grimm has moved to the Bottoms

I’m sure that’s the lot he was talking about. I just hate the Gomers building. I do know they own the buildings to the north. They have an “event space” in one and petitioned at one time for a dispensary license.

[Midtownkid]

I literally want all four corners of 39th and Broadway redone with high-quality building similar to the Crosswalks development. Create nice retail and restaurant spaces on the ground floor with some recessed patios etc. Also some good landscaping would go a long way in making that intersection seem like a vibrant one, rather than looking like it was plucked from Prospect.

[daGOAT]

39th and Broadway has to be the number one candidate for an all 4-corner redevelopment. The SW corner of 39th and Main would be my personal choice, something modern and bold like the Godfrey in Hollywood would starkly contrast the old streetcar era buildings.

[KCtoBrooklyn]

It looks like Urban Cafe will be one of the tenants for the NW corner:

The "grocer" on the SE corner is only about the size of a Quick Trip, if that.
