Here (in no specific order) are several mixed-use projects we're eager to see come to fruition in Kansas City. Check out our list and let us know what you're most excited to see in the comments below!
1. Armour Boulevard and Troost Avenue Redevelopment: Antheus Acquisitions, LLC was just granted redevelopment rights for three parcels near Armour and Troost. This project is calling for a total of 300 to 320 residential units over a total of 25,000 square feet of retail space at the four corners. Why we're excited: Not only will this development create much needed housing, but it will help mitigate the 'dividing line' affects that Troost is known for. 2. Woodside Village: A mixed-use development, Woodside Village will house 330 luxury residences and 35,000 square feet of retail shops. Why we're excited: Woodside Village will increase the walkability of Westwood by providing a grocery store and gym, as well as create a stronger community bond. 3. Commerce Tower: A "vertical village"; Commerce Tower in Downtown Kansas City will be improved by a $139 million renovation to create a mixed-use oasis for city-dwellers. Why we're excited: Commerce tower will employ smart design techniques with LEED Silver sustainability. This project will not only create much-needed housing, but essentially become a virtual neighborhood within a building. What's not to love about that?! 4. Plexpod Westport Commons: You may remember Plexpod Westport from a previous post we published about coworking! Plexpod will be the world's largest coworking facility housed inside Westport Middle School. Why We're Excited: As a coworking facility, this development will be an incubator for start-ups and small businesses, while also paving the way for innovation in the workplace. Aside from this, the development will be an asset to the community itself and contain a neighborhood urban farm.
