If anything it could get people talking about how the mass subsidization of development the Kansas side is kind of the serious issue/foil. I think generally this forum is pro-infill development and tax breaks on a case by case basis. However, time after time Kansas counties throw tons of tax incentives at suburban "mini-urban" center developers and sometimes again to lure companies' jobs over the border from Missouri.

Another small proposed one at 3rd/Delaware, I think 30K sqft.

Re: On-going downtown development projects
I don't think these maps are particularly up-to-date or complete. Here are a few things I noticed off-hand: seems to be missing Hyatt House, Cambria Hotel, Muehlebach, and Tracks 215. Strata is just called "future office tower" without any details.

It wasn't current when it was created. This map is 1-2 years old now.KCtoBrooklyn wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 1:10 pm I don't think these maps are particularly up-to-date or complete.

Re: On-going downtown development projects
This map is dated May 2019. Those projects do show up on the tracking sheets found on the same web page.flyingember wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 1:23 pmIt wasn't current when it was created.

Re: On-going downtown development projects
This development map looks pretty much up to date, though some complete still marked under construction...

Re: On-going downtown development projects
With all the working from home and social distancing edicts, is construction continuing on KC projects or have (will) the sites close down?

Re: On-going downtown development projects
As far as I know, no changes for construction here.
Boston just ordered all construction sites closed by March 23. So, it could change

Re: On-going downtown development projects
The city isn’t sending non-essential staff out as I heard.
That would include inspectors, right? They wouldn’t send someone to inspect a plumbing job that isn’t an emergency break fix.
So that stops all projects as steps are concluded.

That I would agree with. There's a pent up demand for travel right now.FangKC wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 5:58 pm Developers Leave the Light On for Downtown Hotel Projects

Re: On-going downtown development projects
Have mentioned I'm invested (private equity/loans) into an independent Marriott operations group, not in KC market. Just got most recent results from them. Interstate hotels have recovered pretty well but downtown hotels have struggled given they tend to be relatively more tied to events. Even so, the worst performing hotel downtown performed as follows this year...
Occupancy
Jan-Feb: Over 75%
March: 40%
April: 12%
May: 27%
June: 60%
July: 50%
Aug: 62%
Sept: 65%
Oct: Over 70%
Nov/Dec: Expected to be lower partly because COVID cases are picking back up and restrictions are anticipated.
Would be interesting to see downtown KC numbers.

Damn, I was hoping they'd eventually move it somewhere else.
