Condominium Survey Kansas City, MO Originally built in 1915 as the regional headquarters for the Coca-Cola Company and taken over by Western Auto in 1951, the Western Auto Building was awarded historic landmark status in 1988. The distinctive 12-story curved tower building was designed by Arthur Tufts and features brick and terra cotta facade and Chicago-period classic architectural features. MCZ / Centrum Western developed the building into 93 condominium units ranging in price from $110,000 - $311,900. Two adjacent 6-story buildings were also renovated to house an additional 69 units. Space on the ground floor of each building was set aside for commercial and retail sites. The buildings feature a rooftop terrace and a fitness center and the renovation included extensive landscaping throughout.
Working directly with the developer, MCZ/Centrum Western, and in
conjunction with Polsinelli Shalton Welte Suelthaus, the law firm
representing them, SKW provided the survey services necessary to
convert the existing warehouse buildings into owner occupied
condominium units. SKW represented the developer throughout various
City planning commission meetings, plat review committee meetings and
City Council meetings. The project took place in two phases, and SKW
also provided construction staking for the parking and storm sewer
improvements associated with the first phase.
