OFFICIAL - Waddell & Reed - 14th & Baltimore

This is my favorite counter eats anywhere in country lately (the veggies/meats are typically charred, can pick level of doneness) but so far only in NE....

Make it happen Cordish, at all of your properties across US. And throw in a Halal cart as well on the street.






Sorry, back to topic...

Ok, total grain of salt here, but I don’t think it’s BCBS moving in here. I could be totally wrong, but my friend hasn’t heard this and, unless the CEO is keeping it very close to the vest, he should. Just have to wait and see.

^Did your friend hear specific plans involving the lot that was purchased? One reason they may have bought that lot is because it may be harder to sell the current building w/out ownership of parking spaces. But yeah, no indications I'm getting from my sources... nothing.

“Control of what happens around our building and potential expansion in the future.”

So when's the tenant getting announced?

[WoodDraw]

This building looks really nice at night. Turned out well

[normalthings]

Downtown office summit should be around the corner. Maybe it gets announced then?

If they only Recently got the tenant lined up still need to design the fit out

Even if that’s true, they can still announce. We just wanna know when they can make the Oracle announcement already.

I’m saying this is the type of thing they might wanna save for a big event ie the office summit

[AlkaliAxel]

CBRE Senior Vice President Mike Eckert said office tenants want to align with the “workplace of tomorrow,” which might mean moving to a nicer building in areas like the College Boulevard submarket.

This is infuriating. So when were looking at good office space it's to go to College Boulevard? If this is the case then why aren't we build new office downtown? There's no reason we should be losing to College Boulevard anymore these days. We could build another class A along the streetcar, P&L & south loop cap and leave anything from College Blvd in the dust. There's no reason this should be the guys knee-jerk reaction. We have to fight that. Build more.

Low occupancy rate. High cost. Higher taxes.

Bad schools and crime, unfortunately.

BREAKING: New tenant has been announced as Blue Cross Blue Shield

They’re moving their HQ a half mile north. Strange move in my view. Wonder what happens to their current office.

They’ve been saying they were looking for a new office for a while now, so it makes sense.

Article indicates since the building is fully leased it has ramifications for other potential office buildings downtown now.

My hope is their current office, and neighboring parking lot, can become a dense residential neighborhood on the edge of downtown and Crown Center. That site offers easy access to plenty of green space, the streetcar, and numerous restaurants and bars. They won’t move until 2025, so a ways to go but still.

It seems like they’re still keeping that office too and just expanding

[AlkaliAxel]

One of either Strata, Platform or Podium should start looking to break ground now since we have no Class A office space left in downtown.

And yes normalthings I know College blvd is a tough competitor and costs blah blah, but we can’t be standing there with our dick in our hands when some company needs class A space because “well we just didn’t think we needed to build it” and then company goes to JoCo. That just can’t happen. I’m telling you right now, build another one and we’ll be fine. They leased this one fully in like first week.

[Cratedigger]

Blue KC targets completion of its interior buildout and relocation by early 2025.

I guess I'm happy it is fully leased out. shame it won't be a new employer downtown

Ok but what does it matter when they are just expanding from another site still? They’re still gonna be in the shitty building too. They’re adding more employees to downtown same as an outsider would. Important thing is they filled it all so now we could build another.
