The 6-story, historic brick warehouse building at 1101 Mulberry Street is being eyed for a redevelopment into apartments and commercial space.

A new application made to Compass KC describes the project as being a redevelopment of the existing building into 1st-floor commercial space and approximately 110 apartments on the upper 5 floors. The building is currently home to a few commercial tenants but is mostly vacant.

1101 Mulberry sits across the street from the Moline Plow Building, which SomeraRoad will redevelop as part of the first phase of their West Bottoms mixed-use redevelopment. Somera will redevelop that building into 121 apartments and commercial space. Other components of the initial phase and phases of SomeraRoad’s mixed-use development include the redevelopment of the Avery building (east of 1101 Mulberry) into a boutique hotel, the redevelopment of the Perfection Stove and Crooks Terminal buildings into creative office space, and a new 290-unit apartment complex on the site of the now-demolished Weld Wheel building.

The “Depot” park will be across the street from 1101 Mulberry. You can see 1101 Mulberry in the center-left of this rendering.

The redeveloped 1101 Mulberry will round-out an eventual lineup of revitalized buildings surrounding the future “Depot” park.

A redevelopment cost was not included in the application made to the City. The architect is SWD Architects of Kansas City. Zachary Parsons and Kyle FitzGerald are listed as the applicants.
