This 24/7 mixed-use community in Kansas City comprises the historic Midwest Hotel built in 1915 plus a new seven-story building with 283 apartments, 10 percent of which are affordable units. Residents can shoose from 50 distinct floorplans with balconies, terraces, bay windows, 9-20 foot ceilings, 5G technology and 24/7 resort amenities. The rooftop sky park has an outdoor pool, a terrace club and an outdoor theatre. The second-floor sky club includes an additional theater, a gourmet kitchen and lounge seating. Creating the indoor-outdoor connection that renters crave, the sky club opens to an outdoor courtyard with another movie theater, fire pits, a bark park, a beach and a Zen Garden. The community is a National Green Building Standard-certified, clean rated and has 300 underground parking spaces. A mural depicting an endangered gorilla was recently completed on the side of the historic building.
