Thank you for these videos, I feel like they are custom made for me. Always hungry for KC development news and it’s so easy to miss a lot of this.

[@kyleszwick5645]

The city needs to hire crews to clean up all the trash everywhere its a bad look for a city looking to gain new interest

[@mariocruz8602]

our city is so much better compared to so many other cities

[@wigs9848]

Kyle, I enjoy your project update videos. Nice to hear about so much development in the KC area. Been keeping tabs for the past 2-ish years now One project that is really exciting is the South Loop park covering the section of Interstate. I certainly hope that comes to fruition. Panasonic is HUGE! Also looking forward to the opening of the KC streetcar extensions. That will be instrumental to helping revitalize the Main St. corridor and blocks within walking distance. Cheers from 🇨🇦🥂 Wish you and your team much success now and in the future

[@movingtokc]

I too am especially excited about the South Loop project and streetcar extension. Thanks so much for watching!

[@LauraMidwest]

Fantastic video. I really enjoy this channel. I already live here but its very enlightening to know what's happening. This city is going to be LIT in ten years. Unfortunately, it is also a sign I won't be able to afford it much longer and will have to leave.

Overland Park doesn't care what residents think. They will ram through every single large project they want.

In most examples, each project has been discussed in prior content, but are routinely updated in subsequent videos. Your channel, thus your choice of content, agreed! Simply running it up the flagpole.

You sure do spend a lot of your time commenting on my videos about how much you hate KC. The city is doing just fine without you. Move on.

[@paulk6077]

They can't even build a bridge. The I-70 EB intercity viaduct is out and its probably less than 2 yrs old ? They rebuilt the same I 70 bridge just west of the stadiums three times. Jackson county, especially their courts are super corrupt!

[@Ledzepnut]

What needs to be fixed is the road and highway infrastructure, that place is a mess and so undesirable driving in that area, so frustrating, why anyone even goes down there other than paying for an Uber is beyond me, it's too stressful, even for Uber drivers, and it seems it's gonna get worse with all the new development

[@KS5040]

It has far too many highway road miles per capita compared to just about any other sizable city based on its population.

[@Ledzepnut]

@@KS5040 I know that, but downtown is extremely congested, continuous construction, road closures, and the highways haven't been updated to handle today's traffic. One of the worst spots is I-35 Northbound, it goes down to one lane, always backed up during the day, and during rush hour it's very frustrating

[@KS5040]

@@Ledzepnut I would agree with that, also people don't understand that the more infrastructure you build, the more it costs to maintain all of it- including construction and increased taxes to pay for everything when it ages out.

[@clinroatan]

Ever been behind the wheel in Chicago? LA? Atlanta? Totally different worlds. One one hand people complain that KC is too small and podunk, but also complain that most of us can get to 90% of the metro in under a half hour?? Make it make sense.

[@Ledzepnut]

@@clinroatan I have in New York City, worst driving experience in my life, other than something weather related. It still doesn't change that Modot and Kansas City need to fix the issues around downtown, especially if they continue with more development

[@christophercrowder872]

Expansion of the NLB Museum is great news! While I am not opposed to development and/or change, I am opposed to development/change just for its own sake.

[@ZmanKC]

So much tax abatement.

[@TylerLyon]

A 4th luxury apartment downtown is fine for the elite but you are pricing regular folks right out of downtown even to simply visit, shop, and eat.

[@anthony_hugo]

The demand for downtown without new construction is pricing people out, not new housing options.

[@ruthlessjones8220]

@@anthony_hugowhich should be addressed by new affordable units. Not by new luxury apartments.

[@anthony_hugo]

@@ruthlessjones8220 new luxury units create both absorption of existing demand, and absorption of relocation demand. KC gains over 20,000 new residents to the region annually. It’s basically impossible to profitably build new construction that isn’t market rate or above. Pretending that building only affordable units and no luxury units will do anything to satisfy the demand of housing or make things more affordable is naive. All it will do is drive up costs for downtown, and further push sprawl on the edges of the metro. Both of which are objectively bad.

[@ruthlessjones8220]

@@anthony_hugo The city waste too much money to not also focus on new affordable housing development. It’s not naive to focus on affordable housing, but it is reasonable to call out the lack of them while simultaneously trying to create demand for housing that is pricing Kansas Citians out of our own city. KC rent hikes were the 7th highest in the US with no comprehensive plans for rent control or affordable housing. So I don’t care about attracting new luxury renters to kc when it has clear negative effects on the residents who have been here.

[@ruthlessjones8220]

@@anthony_hugo also there are grants offered to project developers in Kansas City to build affordable housing that are not being utilized so don’t try to tell me they’re “unprofitable to build”.

Brookridge redevelopment will have 4 million square feet of office space, that’s almost as much office space as all of downtown kcmo. Not sure where you got the 100,000 square feet from. That’s not very much.

[@jeanoltvedt]

Lots of wonderful news all over the KC area! BUT, another high end apartment complex downtown? How many are necessary to make downtown KC great while denying us regular folks a chance to live in the city as well? Just why???

[@movingtokc]

Does downtown need it? Probably not. But if there’s still demand 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jeanoltvedt]

@movingtokc Is there a big demand for more rich people downtown? Are the rich people who already live there demanding more of their own kind? Or perhaps it's the businesses that demand this? They don't want nor care about the riff raff, right? And neither do the realtors? Much more lucrative to cater to people with money, am I right? That's what it looks like!

[@clinroatan]

@@jeanoltvedt Sorry, but this sounds very ignorant. "Much more lucrative to cater to people with money"....well of course it is, what developer is going to risk 10s of millions on people that have no discretionary income?? The "rich" people you obviously dislike are the ones that fund the noble "riff raff". The rich people make Kansas City a destination, city that can attract global events like the World Cup, rather than an embarrassing cemetery that was downtown just a few years ago. I hope downtown continues on its current path and values contimue to skyrocket, which is a sign of demand, economic strength, and JOBS.

[@anthony_hugo]

@@jeanoltvedtall three of the light buildings are over 95% occupancies.

[@KS5040]

@@clinroatan Better late than never, KC is only about 20-30 years behind most other larger metro areas in terms of large-scale bigger Downtown economic development projects, gentrification, and increase in real estate prices across the board. The issue with a huge percentage of jobs still being in JOCO will create a net drag on overall job growth for the metro area as commercial vacancy rates are still up there with all of the sprawled out suburban office parks everywhere.

[@JetScreamer24]

20 major developments in KC and only one (barely) north of the river. Typical. When is north of the KC going to fed up and split off on it's own. KC takes plenty of tax money from north of the river and it all gets funneled to south of the river. Enough already. The only thing the city wants is to relocate the Royals north of the river, just so the people of Clay county can pay for the new stadium. No thanks!

[@KS5040]

LOL The Royals are going to end up leaving for a much more dynamic and faster growing metro area elsewhere. KC is a bypassed metro area with tons of complacency, apathy, and mediocrity.

[@clinroatan]

NKC and Clay and Platte are doing very well, especially single family residential. There were 20 discussed, and the vast majority are privately funded. A huge Part of the increase in Clay County values is the Downtown renaissance. Your increase in property values will far outweight increases in property taxes.

[@JetScreamer24]

Doing very well? Yeah, all the tax money goes south. There aren't any new developments in KC North. A so called "downtown renaissance" is still south of the river. Clay county gets nothing from this nor do any of the towns north of the river. Building more apartments isn't a major development since the tax money still goes south! Clay and Platte county money needs to stay in those counties.

[@movingtokc]

Liberty downtown development and Google Data Center are both North of the river 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@JetScreamer24]

@@movingtokc Yeah, that data centre is going to be a happening place. The concerts there are going to be awesome. It's definitely going to be a destination draw for people to frequent. That data centre is about as exciting as a building a new warehouse. And the Liberty downtown development is replacing a building that fell down a few years ago. These two "developments" pale in comparison to what takers place year after year south of the river. The city counsel doesn't care about what happens north of the river.
