The Cordish Companies began construction on the transformation of the historic Midland Office Building into Midland Lofts, a 135-unit residential building in Kansas City, Missouri.
Midland Lofts will sit in the midst of Kansas City’s downtown Power & Light District neighborhood, directly connected to the Midland Theatre and steps away from Cosentino’s Downtown Market, Kansas City Live!, T-Mobile Center, Genesis Health Clubs, the KC Streetcar line, dozens of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues, and cultural destinations like the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
For almost two decades, The Cordish Companies has invested in downtown Kansas City, both with new construction projects and the restoration of historic buildings including the B&B Theatre, the Midland Theatre, and now Midland Lofts. In 2008, Cordish and AMC completed a two-year, multi-million dollar renovation of the Midland Theatre, which first opened its doors in 1927. Since the renovation, the celebrated Kansas City venue has welcomed millions of guests and hosts hundreds of events each year.
The adjacent office building, an underutilized historic jewel that has been vacant for more than 20 years, will be renovated to include 135 beautiful, airy loft apartments for rent featuring multiple open-concept studio and one-bedroom floor plans. Once complete, Midland Lofts will feature an impressive street-level lobby with large windows bringing in natural light, multiple seating areas for conversation and entertainment, and a suite of amenities and services for renters including:
- Coffee bar
- Entertainment kitchen
- Fitness center
- Coworking spaces
- Billiards room
- Club lounge
- Meditation room
- Indoor community fireplace
- Communal laundry room
- Luxer package locker system
- Complimentary wifi throughout all amenity spaces
- Business center with computers and printers
- Conference rooms
The architecture and the interior design of Midland Lofts will reflect the rich history and unique character of the building and theater while channeling the upscale finishes and design of One Light, Two Light and Three Light. Local Kansas City architecture and design firm Helix is the project architect for Midland Lofts. Helix was also the project architect for the historic renovations of the Midland Theatre and Mainstreet Theaters in the Power & Light District.
Each living space has been meticulously designed with quartz countertops and tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, custom closet organizers, porcelain tile bathroom floors, in-unit washers and dryers, and oversized windows that show off incredible views of downtown. RD Jones + Associates, an award-winning full-service design firm specializing in interior design and architecture, is leading the interior design for Midland Lofts’ amenity spaces.
