This is a nice development but remember, it's on a lot that was probably given to them by the city or at least they got a great deal on being able to develop on one of the highest profile blocks in the city. I'm saying that this should be a pretty easy project given all the incentives and city owned land they are dealing with. And still four people voted against it.

It's great to see it happening along with the development across the street. That will really change the feel of the entire area.

The developer also would have paid $2.4 million for the property to be divided between the city and the KCATA.

Just need Ascend at 3rd and Oak to rise to complete the 3rd Street transformation on this end of the neighborhood.

I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive...

PIEA board had a nice sit down with mayors office. Union labor is a big deal for 1 or 2 board members. 40% is extremely easy to hit as some trades are pretty much entirely unionized (developer texted me that in response to this article)

How many developments is the PIEA board involved with for approvals? With this knowledge this could definitely help should they be the authority of approval

Yeah, the scale will be much more impressive along 3rd by 2026 for sure. Hopefully Atlas 303 has a chance to come back as well.

Like the Lux Riverfront project, it just had to go through some side process before it could remerge. I believe that the same is happening to Mac's deal at Main and Armour.
