Down By The Water’s Edge

June 29, 2017

Berkley Riverfront Park in Kansas City is getting quite the makeover.

The area, which will be the future home of Flaherty & Collins Properties new development, Union, is undergoing a facelift. Complete with a full plan that includes beach volleyball courts, dog park (Bar K), and more, Berkley Riverfront Park will be home to an area of activity, entertainment and relaxation within the urban landscape of downtown Kansas City.

Berkley Riverfront Park is a sustaining connection between the river and the city.

And this week, the Port KC unveiled new branding and activities to future residents and guests. And our Union team was there to great them as well!

That included our future furry residents, as well:

We can’t wait to finish up construction and greet our residents to further enhance the community. Here’s a reminder of what Union will look like when complete:

Behind the Scenes: Historic Whitlock Place Grand Opening

November 21, 2016November 22, 2016

Last week, Flaherty & Collins Properties held a Grand Opening ceremony of Historic Whitlock Place. Historic Whitlock Place is an adaptive reuse development that creates 56 apartment homes in the historic Culver Union Hospital in downtown Crawfordsville.

“We are excited to open Historic Whitlock Place,” said Julie Collier, Vice President of Development with Flaherty & Collins Properties, at the event. “This is truly a remarkable, transformative project for Crawfordsville and the greater neighborhood and community.”

Historic Whitlock Place consists of studio, one and two bedroom apartments. Nearly every unit is an individual, unique design, and features Energy Star windows and appliances to achieve the Silver level of National Green Building Standards for energy efficiency.

Historic detailing within the building were retained through construction, such as bullnose plaster corners, terrazzo floors, unique wood-frame windows, and painted stencil detailing in the hallways. Community Activity areas include a community atrium, a community room with a TV, a computer room with free internet access, and an exercise room with equipment. The exterior will also be landscaped with trees, shrubs and garden seating. Paved parking is also be provided on-site.

“It was extremely important to keep the historical aspects of the building and enhance the exterior and interior look and feel of the building,” said Collier. “We’re thrilled with the results of Culver’s transformation.”

Crawfordsville, consistently rated in the Top 100 Best Small Towns in America, is looking forward to this residential project in downtown that will serve seniors and families in need of quality housing. A historical rich community, Crawfordsville features cultural trail links, parks and many other forms of recreation.

“Identifying an appropriate adaptive reuse for the former Culver Hospital has been a top priority and I am confident Historic Whitlock Place will fit nicely with our efforts to create a more livable community,” said Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton at the groundbreaking in June 2015.

The project is a collaborative effort between Sustainable Solutions, Vision Communities, Flaherty & Collins Properties, the City of Crawfordsville, Palma Architects, and McKinley Development. Historic Whitlock Place is funded by the National Equity Fund, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. Merchants Bank of Indiana was the construction bridge lender for the development.

When You’re Downtown

March 11, 2015

We’re humming a little tune this week…

That’s right…we’re ready to go there – to Downtown Terrace, that is! Our Affordable Development team has been working hard on this project over the past couple years and our grand opening is just around the corner, to be held next Wednesday, March 18 at 10:30am at the site, located at 611 Main Street in Petersburg.

Downtown Terrace, which features 42 affordable senior apartment homes, is a collaborative effort between the City of Petersburg, Pike County Progress Partners, Jim Higgs Associates, Myszak + Palmer, and Flaherty & Collins Properties. Pike County Progress Partners, Inc. is the sponsoring not-for-profit agency for this community development initiative. Flaherty & Collins Properties will manage the property.

Good Samaritan Hospital will be the anchor tenant for the newly constructed building, which includes approximately 10,500 square feet of retail and office space. They will run an urgent care facility on the main floor, providing mental health service and a physician’s clinic.

“We are thrilled to open Downtown Terrace to the City of Petersburg and the residents who will call it home,” says Duane Miller, Vice President of Community & Asset Management for Flaherty & Collins Properties. “It has been an exciting project and looks fantastic.”

Downtown Terrace maximizes location, with many Petersburg amenities, such as restaurants, parks, grocery stores, shopping, entertainment, banks, churches and medical facilities, all located within close proximity to the project. An outdoor green space and attractive landscaping transform the entire block, and on-site parking is available.
