That doesn't surprise me. There's been a bit of press over here lately about expanding the marketing budget for VisitKC (apparently they spend the least on marketing compared to other peer cities) and trying to go bigger now that there are all these hotel rooms coming online. The VisitKC chief has already said downtown is largely overbuilt with hotels. Especially with the nearly 1,000 room Lowes about to come online, though I do think that will play well with the convention center next door. I think I read that KC's overall hotel occupancy rate is about 66% when mid 70s is considered healthy. I'm sure they're running similar ads in lots of cities, trying to get the word out.Trololzilla wrote: I've been seeing "Visit KC" ads on a lot of Metrobus buses lately.
3rd and Grand is definite due to the size and scale of that project, I just have my doubts that it will start. I doubt that the City Club will get a tower crane. Look's like they are doing fine without one, especially since the upper floors will most likely be wood framing. By the way, here are some renderings of some River Market project.ldai_phs wrote: A good KCRAG photo of a few of the cranes in downtown KC. This photo looks across the Crossroads over to Hospital Hill - Crown Center. I think we are down to 5 or 6 tower cranes downtown. Loews’ last crane should go down soon but cranes for Strata, Three Light, 3 Grand, and City Club will replace it shortly.

Those are some great photos! Do you have a link to the first one or know any more info?chriss752 wrote:3rd and Grand is definite due to the size and scale of that project, I just have my doubts that it will start.

I found those here: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/301-Del ... O/8130061/. I don't know how up to date they are. Hopefully City Club gets one but as we all know, things can change.ldai_phs wrote:

I had heard from an involved party that City Club would eventually get a tower crane. The first phase is steel with concrete floors so that looks to be possible.
