You can see one of the other 4 residential towers planned, this one looks to be from 16-17 floors... (there are 5 towers total planned)

That looks great. Should be a big boost to the area. Looking at those aerial shots, there are quite a few surface lots. If land value increases enough from the developments, and demand goes up for living downtown, those parking lots will eventually be developed.

This is the massive infill project I mentioned to you in the other thread. It's great, as we are infilling a bunch of ugly, blighted, and useless surface parking lots (no doubt a remnant of the intellectual perversion that typified "urban renewal."

On the infilling of surface lots-- that is my fantasy, and I believe it will become reality as the years go by. KCMO is currently overhauling it's suburbanistic zoning laws into something more conducive to urbanity. And hopefully, along with and as a result of this, the stupid surface lots throughout the city will be redeveloped and filled in.
