23 Story Residential Tower for Power and Light

Post by Greg S »

Looks very similar to the Wall Street Tower to me.  Wonder if it is the same architects?

Plus more apartments in a 12 story building being renovated.

Somewhat simmilar, but yet way different and way better.

Wow, this is another big win for KC, and especially P&L, particularly following their financing troubles.  If they actually go through with the streetcar, downtown KC will be even more exciting.

After reading the rest of the article, it appears that this project should be a pretty easy sell.  Apartments in the entire downtown KC core are at 98% occupancy!

The article also states that an architect hasn't been selected for the final design, but Humphreys & Partners Architects of Dallas prepared the conceptual design.

I heard this wa connected to Cordish and had somewhat of a "good luck" vibe to it.  Hopefully everything works out though.

Looks like they modified the Omaha wall street tower plans.  If I was Townsend I'd sue.  60-90 days

Wow wonder where that design originated from? Guess they didn't want to write off the costs of designing it.. will be cool/irritating to see what Omaha could have had

Another one for KC's collection.
