Midtown Plaza Phases 3 and 4: Accelerated Design Submission to Navigate New KCMO Energy Codes

We are so excited for successfully submitting a completed drawings set of 202-unit apartment complex, Midtown Plaza Phases 3 and 4, to the City for building permit review. The KCMO jurisdiction adopted a new energy conservation code 2021 that while it would improve the energy conversation of the building, it would also increase the construction cost. The original schedule for our project called for our design team to complete the drawings in mid-December 2023. Any project submitted to the city for permitting after September 29th, 2023, will be subjected to the new code. Fortunately, we had a great design team that understood the need for an accelerated schedule and delivered!

Our project was submitted to the City as promised - one week prior to the deadline, shaving almost two months off the schedule.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the exceptional individuals and teams whose dedication and expertise made this milestone possible:

• Staff at B+A Architecture (architect)

• Bob D. Campbell (Structural Engineers)

• Latimer, Sommers & Associates (MEP Engineers)

• Renaissance Infrastructure Consulting (Civil Engineers)

• Meier Landscape Architecture (Landscape Architect)

• Luke Draily Construction (preconstruction services)
