Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project
Absolutely embarrassing. It's a shame that most of these meetings are held at a time that caters to participation from groups like "KC Tenants", and stymies participation from folks in the pro-development world.cityscenekc wrote: ↑Wed Jul 27, 2022 10:59 am The Lux Living riverfront project is in limbo because the board never took action on its incentive request. There's still discussions underway, but I agree that if it does go away, another developer likely will be found in the not too distant future.

Aren't the developers working normal working hours? Doesn't it seem that meeting is a perfect time for them? Do you really think Joe Public being there makes a difference? Write in to the board, same impact.

Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project
A group of 15-30 people being present and LOUDLY voicing concern about a project is absolutely sufficient to sway a decision at the level of city council and these dev boards.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 9:43 am Aren't the developers working normal working hours?

Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project
Not if it's a sound decision. Reason tenants may help is it's a questionable call in the first place.
How many council chambers were full of anti terminal or anti arena people and the city moved forward.

So this project is not dead?KCDowntown wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 4:45 pm Final plans were submitted today for the riverfront Lux Living apartment building. Not sure means anything or not with all the issues out there with this project, but here are links to two permits: permit #1, permit #2

I think this is one of the more urban projects in KC right now, especially in the riverfront. It needs to happen so that the type of development along the River matures into something less "suburban". Hopefully the city finds a way to get it done or I don't see that parcel being developed into anything substantial.

Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project
From my memory the specifically touted their lack of parking. And the assumption drawn from the mock ups they’ve shown, considering they had buildings up next to the stadium, was that this would be a surface parking light project from the outset.normalthings wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 8:07 amThis is exactly what they announced in the initial plan?
