“We are thrilled to have the unanimous support of the committee and look forward to bringing some of Kansas City’s best apartments to one of Kansas City’s best neighborhoods,” Peter Cassel, Mac director of community development, said. The development calls for several 10-story buildings along Main and Armour, and the renovation of the existing US Bank building at the corner. It would be a voluntary decision for tenants however, because the city would not enforce it.Ī small plaza is proposed along Main at the midpoint of the new apartment building. The committee also added an amendment requiring Mac to “inform” future tenants to not park on surrounding streets. It will have 191 on-site parking spaces for its residents and retail customers. In response, Mac reduced the number of units at what it’s calling the “1 West Armour” development from 318 to 300. Residents were concerned about its potential negative impact to on-street parking in the area. The development committee had delayed its vote about a month ago because of strong neighborhood opposition. It has the support of Mayor Quinton Lucas, City Manager Brian Platt and Councilman Eric Bunch who’s district includes the project. The plan is scheduled to be considered by the full Council today where it’s expected to be approved.
