Plaza Environs

Long vacant for over 35 years. Let us hope another long vacant lot, another hangover from the eighties building boom, can be filled at 44th & Main.

Are you referring to the Wishbone restaurant? I loved that place. Origin of the Wishbone salad dressing brand. It was in the main Victorian structure, and for decades the detached carriage house on the back corner housed artisan studios. Stained glass makers, custom gun case makers, etc.

3 story building on St. Luke's campus at 4330 Washington being demolished. Anyone heard if it's being replaced with anything?

[FangKC]

The nursing home and rehabilitation center that was in that building closed, and St. Luke's purchased it. It's probably just being cleared for now; and the site will become part of their long-term growth plan.

Can someone remind me of the name of the apartment project going up at 44th and Belleview?

[earthling]

edit: wrong project in mind

[FlippantCitizen]

This

Ahh I finally found the tread. Thread is called West Plaza Flats, though the name of the project may have changed to Midtown Crossing. Unclear to me what name it will be marketed as TBH.

Thoughts?

"You've got, say, Capital Grille. You've got all the other restaurants in the Plaza that are paying for parking," he said. "Now, you're going to supposedly tell (Drake) they can build 30,000 square feet of restaurants, which compete with all the others in the Plaza, and they don't have to build parking? Now, you've basically got Capital subsidizing their competition."

Wrong thread

Heard the 45 Main project is dead. Jasty5 confirmation?

If it is, then damn. It does open the opportunity for someone else to come in and actually do something worthwhile.

Is that the one where the Holiday Inn was at?

[FangKC]

Yes.

It’s frustrating that we always seem to get past the point of tear downs before the project falls apart

From what I've heard its on the backburner, not necessarily dead. I haven't checked in on that recently though, something could have changed. It is a valuable spot with the streetcar coming and considering the views and proximity to the plaza/art museums. It will get developed.

What is going on at 50th Main south of Plaza? Was over there this morning and noted a substantial amount of groundwork on SE corner.

(not sure about cross-street but on Main in the close vicinity to the Peanut).

Are you referencing the proposed office building by Van Trust? That looks to be more likely for the corner where I saw the site preparation. The referenced thread is mostly about 4930 Grand a couple of blocks away for some apartments - and that proposal is just hideous.

Yes, there were two discussions in that threat. Van Trust is tearing down the building at the corner of Main and 49th St (I believe) along with the building behind it to 50th. They have a building they pictured to replace it that I referenced but I don't know if there is any real plans in place for it to move forward right now. I believe that's what you're seeing on the SE corner.
