34+ Main is part of a new wave of multi-family housing construction on Main Street in urban Kansas City. The site, located in Midtown, is closely connected to a vital mix of small businesses, restaurants and residences, about 20 blocks south of downtown. The project is a transit-oriented mixed-use development, designed for a new generation of urban dwellers that depend less and less on cars. Currently, there are roughly 10 bus stops within walking distance of the proposed 80-unit development, and Main Street hosts the initial phase of Kansas City’s new streetcar system that will soon extend past the site on its way south to the Country Club Plaza, Brookside and Waldo neighborhoods. The project will be the first multi-story, multi-unit residential project that utilizes comprehensive pre-manufactured unit construction in Kansas City, and is one of just a select few in the United States. Four stories of pre-manufactured residential “modules” will be shipped to the site and placed one-by-one on a cast-in-place concrete plinth that houses street-facing commercial and retail opportunities.
