We can’t win the smell battle downtown. Everyday it’s a new nasal experience!
Imagine what it was like when the stockyards and meatpacking plants were just over the bluff in the West Bottoms.

DCole, tell the Cordish people that if they end up putting up another tower on the NW corner of 14th and Main that I want it to have a big, lighted blade sign. If they end up building something on the Strata site at 13th and Main, again, I want it to have a big, lighted blade sign. When they build the tower on the SW corner of Truman and Main, that building should also have a big, lighted blade sign. Thanks in advance.

Love it. That would look amazing coming down Main and seeing all those blade signs.

Really, really love that street level look. It's going to look good.

Can't wait for it to open because I keep having really awkward encounters in the construction covering on main. I always try to see if anyone is coming and run through quickly now.

Looks like bright lighted retail space on Main under the garage. Do we know what that will be yet?

We need more blade signs and we need more awnings.

Awnings are a missing detail in much of urban KC and signifies building owners' lack of attention to pedestrians. Not only do they give building facade more refined appearance, they help protect peds from sun/weather one building to next.

Thanks for counting if it were the full amount that would be insane, however I’d doubt it maybe a couple dozen but would still very impressive for one day

The virtual tours section of the website, which I've previously used to check the One Cardinal Way numbers, shows 273 apartments available.

^If that's the case and momentum continues could see 4 Light announced and maybe breaking ground before 3L completes.
