This is big news for Kansas City. The tallest residential building ever built in downtown Kansas City (note: built for residential, as 909 Walnut is currently residential and taller but was built originally for offices). This building, which breaks ground in December, will bring 311 more units to downtown. We are currently in the midst of a residential boom that will bring several thousand new units to downtown over the next couple years, and it is finally starting to come in the form of new construction as the last of our vacant old office buildings have plans to be renovated.
The best part of this project is that it is being built on a very small lot, on the corner of a block that is already completely built upon. Parking will be had in the garage next door to the building, so no new parking is needed. This will add a lot of density to an important block in the middle of the business district. Here is a view of the current lot as it stands:
