The Grand Opening for Grand Boulevard Lofts has been scheduled for January 26, 2011. Mayor Funkhouser and Developer George Sherman will speak on the project to a large audience including the Kansas City Urban Core Group, which will hold its monthly gathering at the building.This long vacant and blighted, historic building in downtown Kansas City has recently been renovated into 134 apartment units. The renovation of this prominent 17-story building, located at 10th & Main, was completed to meet the National Park Service's standards for historic preservation. This building will serve the ever increasing demand for quality, workforce housing inside the downtown loop. One of the largest hurdles faced by the project was assembling the myriad layers of financing, which included three governmental organizations, four tax credit programs, and public-private investments. Along with the building renovation, the Grand Boulevard streetscape was also beautified.
