The residential portion has indeed been changed to a second hotel.

Hotel 1, the southeastern building, will be full service, 175 rooms.

Hotel 2 will be select service, 130 rooms.

Comparing the "Project Programming" breakdown to the floor plans shown, I do see some conflicting info. The programming lists 2,800 sq ft bank/retail, but the floor plan shows 2 retail spaces (on the SE corner), one with 1,537 sq ft (presumably a bank with a drive through) and another retail space with 2,500 sq ft.

The programming lists 4,350 sq ft food and beverage, but the floor plan shows 4,707 sq ft (plus covered outdoor deck and kitchen space not included). This looks like it will be the hotel bar/restaurant. The floor plan also shows 8,185 sq ft for a "3rd party signature restaurant" that doesn't appear to be listed in the programming.

The project also included 10,000 sq ft "speculative space".

Since there was previously a plan for a north Plaza Hyatt, I think Hotel 1 being Hyatt Regency and Hotel 2 being Hyatt Place could be a good guess.

The revised proposal pitched by a group called Country Club Lodging LLC calls for two, approximately seven-story buildings accommodating 304 rooms to be built on the block southwest of 46th Street and Wornall Road.

The 265,150 square-foot project would use about two-thirds of the block, which is currently occupied by a Commerce Bank branch and vacant land. It would face Wornall, West 46th Terrace and West 46th Street.

A previous plan for the same 1.5-acre site proposed by NorthPoint Development and GEM Holdings called for 175 hotel rooms and 132 apartments. It was approved by the Kansas City Council in May 2016 but never moved forward.

The new “Plaza Hotel” proposal scraps the apartment component and increases the size of the hotel. It also includes space for a new bank drive-thru branch and a 412-space garage.

Located at 46th and Wornall streets in the northern portion of the Plaza, the project would include two hotels, both of which will operate under the Marriott flag, as well as a Commerce Bank with a drive-thru, and ground-level restaurants and retail. The L-shaped tract currently holds an empty lot and and an existing Commerce Bank office, which would be razed and replaced.

The city's Finance, Governance and Public Safety Committee approved a financing agreement and amended industrial redevelopment plan Wednesday, which will head to the City Council for final approval.

The development is on the south side of West 46th Street between Broadway Street and Wornall Road. Plans call for a 175-room and 138-room hotel, an underground parking garage and 19,000-square-feet of retail space, Fox 4 reports. Each hotel will be about 100 feet tall, which had raised concerns with area neighbors. However, a compromise is that the buildings will step down with the site's incline.

The project will feature an Aloft Hotel by Marriott and a Tribute Hotel. Both hotels are expected to open in 2021.
