Box Real Estate Development eyes distinct vertical mixed-use townhomes in NKC

Image
Clockwork Architecture + Design
...
The City Council agreed Tuesday to enter development and land sale agreements with Box Real Estate Development for Blume NKC, a $21 million Opportunity Zone development with at least 26 residences and 25,000 square feet of commercial space.

The city chose the developer through a September 2020 request for proposals for 2.77 acres it owns along Burlington Street, between 29th and 32nd avenues, in its legacy Northgate Village neighborhood.
...
These involve one-, two- or three-bedroom residential lofts in two to two-and-a-half stories, above 430- to 615-square-foot retail and office spaces, meant for small businesses or work-from-home executives. Also proposed are a slightly larger "gateway" mixed-use building, with multiple lofts above 3,132 commercial square feet, and two smaller retail-office buildings on the site's south side.
...
"The suburbs were developed for cars. Cities are designed for people," he said in a Wednesday release. "Most European cities, and many U.S. cities, were designed before the advent of the car. For your daily life, you walked places. To the market. To your job. To your family and friends. While 'walkability' is often positioned as a modern idea, it’s actually deeply rooted in the past."
...

The townhomes will have private entries, with the small commercial spaces below able to be occupied either by the resident or a third-party user. Under Opportunity Zone regulations, Box must own and lease the residences for a 10-year period. Afterward, however, the developer seeks to offer the individual units for sale, including through a purchase option program that allows occupants to earn equity over time.

Box anticipates a March or April groundbreaking on Blume NKC and a fall 2023 completion after 18 months of construction.

This seems like a great model for the urban core and other inner ring suburbs with transportation lines.

It does not.
The next to last page gives the lots and the county GIS site confirms which ones those are

http://nkc.org/common/pages/DisplayFile ... d=18050925

This is the empty land between the senior parking along 32nd and the empty restaurant

--------------------------------------

The same meeting was supposed to include an updated agreement for the 23rd/Swift superblock development but it was pulled from the agenda. There was some kind of utility work along the south side of the site with two open holes remaining. I didn't get a good look but I think it was running fiber, so this could be a linkcity extension to serve it

Elsewhere in the former Northgate Village, Star Development Corp. proposes a $59 million multifamily project with at least 290 apartments on a former city site bordered north and south by 25th and 23rd avenues, and west and east by Buchanan and Swift streets.

On Oct. 19, North Kansas City is scheduled to review an amended development agreement and incentive request for those plans.

Northgate Village recent completions + planned: 32 homes
Box Real Estate (Burlington/32nd): 26 homes
Oxbow: 208 apartments (the 7 story building)
23rd/Swift super block: 290 apartments, completed 2023 estimate
Gallery Lofts: 49 apartments. (Armour Rd project)
Backyard at One North: 240 units
One North additional: ~348 units in 2023

Approx 1193 new units in just a few years

At 2.5 per that’s almost 3000 people in a town of 4600.


So it’s growing by up to 66%

'Brookside of the North:' NKC properties have serious potential, even without Royals
...
Even if the Royals stay in Jackson County, North Kansas City remains poised for its "fair share" of new development investment over time, in the words of an Axiom Strategies campaign launched last year to draw a baseball stadium to 90-plus acres assembled by the Merriman family of Financial Holding Corp.
...
The Merrimans did not comment this week on future plans for their properties. But in a meeting last summer, Withington said the family indicated they would pursue new projects in North Kansas City, regardless of whether the Royals came. Their Armour District holdings now total at least 99.8 acres, factoring in additional one-off acquisitions made through October, most recently of the site housing AA Wheel & Truck Supply Inc.

"That was one of my biggest concerns: If (the Royals) don't come, do you guys (the Merrimans) just walk away?" Withington said. "That's when they said 'No, we've got 50 years worth of projects to do,' and they're committed long term to Northtown. They built the (Oxbow Apartments, together with Sunflower Development Group), and they have other ideas regardless of the Royals."
...
How could new uses throughout the Armour District properties change North Kansas City's fabric over time? David Johnson, founder of Chicken N Pickle, said he thinks the area one day could resemble "the Brookside of the North," with similar walkability and restaurants but in a smaller, tighter-knit community.

The empty Ruby Tuesday is now an IHOP or it was last time I saw.
