Sneak Peek: Midtown Kansas City Rent Spike Worsens

Quick view from a local development blogger gives us a chance for an old school gripe . . .

REMEMBER WHEN MIDTOWN KANSAS CITY WAS HOME TO MOSTLY LOW-RENT LOSERS IN SKETCHY APARTMENTS?!?

We remember that time fondly because the neighborhood had more character, it was actually safer back then and the restaurants were way better . . . At least toward the end of the month. 

Meanwhile . . .

Here's a preview of yet another 3K per month monstrosity that will likely serve only to file more lawyers: 

"The building, designed by B+A Architects, is planned to include 49 apartments that range in size from one-bedrooms (780sf) up to two-bedrooms+den (1400sf), 1024sf of retail space (marked in plans as being a bodega or coffee shop), and 60 parking spaces accessed through a garage entrance on the alley side. The retail space will sit at the corner of 44th and Madison with the residential lobby being on 44th Street. 44th will also include access to two 2-story apartments with sidewalk access.

"The building is a U-shape with the west side featuring a small pool deck for residents with additional amenity spaces accessible just off of the pool deck. "
