CENTURY TOWERS: REDEVELOPMENT IS THE SOURCE OF REVITALIZATION

The University Hospital in downtown Kansas City, Mo. was forced to close its doors because of various changes in the health-care industry. The building sat vacant for more than a decade before the city decided something needed to be done. City planners and officials discussed redevelopment options for the property, but needed a more viable plan.

The city contacted Homkor to create a plan that would revive this portion of downtown. Homkor redeveloped the property, creating 224 residential apartments, and over 200,000 square feet of commercial, retail and office space, now known as Century Towers.

The feat of converting this single-use property took more than just creative architecture. Homkor also had to develop a creative, comprehensive plan to finance and market the property.

The Century Towers redevelopment project has not only been a tremendous success, but has been the cornerstone in the revitalization of this area of downtown Kansas City.
