I think there’s an excellent chance we will see two cranes up at the same time again in PNL within the next 4 years.

Another project would have to be announced pretty much right now to overlap cranes with 3 Light.

It could be two cranes but not involved with 3 Light as well

Crane is down. The building looks nice despite being short. We could use many more of these

The massing of the building looks really huge from Hospital Hill.

The downside of not having a ground floor I suppose.

The tiles are sized and set in the same pattern as the limestone blocks on the upper portion of Municipal Auditorium, but vertical. Wonder if there is a spot where one can see both at the same time?
Where's Tosspot when you need him? Miss his photos very much. You'd think with everyone having good phone cameras you never be without good pics of everything happening in KC, but it seems everyone just flaps there jaws about who knows development best ,living life in there own minds. It's not hard to point and shoot! Maybe it is for those without creativity.
If you're not on the EDGE, you're taking up TOO MUCH ROOM!

Image hosting/linking here is honestly a hassle.

Is there supposed to be a new building coming here we haven't heard about? Or are they just demolishing to clear space because it's old or something.

Would anyone build here without a rendering out?

1400 Baltimore is the formerly-called "Waddell & Reed" tower that is already up.

Exactly. I take thousands of photos a year of downtown but to show them here requires a level of effort that’s not quick.
