West Bottoms Sees Accelerated Redevelopment Along West 11th Street
Beautiful spring weather in Kansas City is helping accelerate the pace of redevelopment in the Historic West Bottoms. Construction activity is picking up along West 11th Street between Santa Fe and Mulberry, where the roadway is being rebuilt in preparation for major changes to the surrounding area. The improvements sit adjacent to a planned new park and two significant adaptive reuse projects, including the transformation of existing industrial buildings into a boutique hotel and a modern apartment complex. Together, these efforts reflect growing momentum in the West Bottoms as long-vacant structures and infrastructure are reimagined for a new chapter of mixed-use development.
