History

One Kansas City Place was originally part of a much larger project named Kansas City Place. Because of NIMBY opposition and claims that it would ruin the 30-year-old skyline, however, the project was cancelled (and the recession of the late 1980s also did not help). The project included townhomes, office towers, and residential/hotel towers. The heights of some of these buildings (if they had not been cancelled) would have been 65 floors, 55 floors, 24 floors, 20 floors, 16 floors, and 14 floors, respectively. The project was proposed for the south loop, which until 2004 remained barren and decaying. Now, however, the Power and Light District is being constructed on this site. Kansas City Place was an architectural project in Downtown Kansas City, Missouri, USA, originally proposed during the real estate boom of the 1980s. ...
