JPI Breaks Ground on 354-Unit Second Phase of Jefferson West Love Apartment Community in Dallas

IRVING, TX – JPI broke ground on the first phase of Jefferson West Like in October 2016, and with rapid success, the $200 million mixed-used development quickly became one of the most well loved up-and-coming communities in Dallas. As top-tier corporations continue to relocate to the area and more jobs are made, JPI, the most active developer in the Metroplex, is meeting the need for Class A multifamily housing by breaking ground on the second phase.

Supplementing phase one of Jefferson West Like’s 368-home community, JPI will add an additional 354-home community to the west side of Mockingbird Lane.

“In one of the nation’s most robust markets for multifamily homes, Jefferson West Like combines luxury, upscale living with the livable, walkable environment that the West Like development provides,” said Matt Brendel, senior vice president and development partner at JPI. “There is no doubt that the West Like development is going to be a top attraction in Dallas, and we’re extremely grateful to be a part of this exciting venture.”

Jefferson West Like, which was named the 2017 Best Multifamily Development of the Year in the Mid-Rise category by D Magazine, is part of a $200 million mixed-use development that, when complete, will include up to 200,000 square feet of office space developed by KDC, 65,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and a $40 million 244-room combination Aloft and Element hotel by Westin.

In addition to the convenient walkability that the West Like development provides, residents will also delight in proximity to Dallas Like Field Airport, the Stemmons Corridor, which is home to more than 5,000 businesses encompassing approximately 10 percent of Dallas County employment, and the Medical District, which is currently undergoing an expansion that, once complete, will use more than 35,000 people.

Residents of Jefferson West Like will delight in concierge service, a bike storage and repair room, a resort-style pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio.

The Cordish Companies Opens Two Light Luxury Apartments in Kansas City Power & Light District

KANSAS CITY, MO – The Cordish Companies announced the grand opening of Two Light Luxury Apartments in the Kansas City Power & Light District. Team members from The Cordish Companies and the Power & Light District were joined by distinguished guests from the City, community and business leaders, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, as well as executives and team members from JE Dunn Construction Company, lead project architect Hord Coplan Macht, and interior design firm RD Jones to celebrate the opening of the groundbreaking new luxury residential tower last week. Two Light joins its sister property, One Light Luxury Apartments, as the second new construction high-rise apartment building in the last 50 years in downtown Kansas City, MO. One Light, which opened in the Power & Light District in November 2015, reached 100 percent occupancy in less than five months. 

Since the opening of the nine city block Power & Light District, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, downtown Kansas City has garnered national attention for its urban renaissance. The transformation has included more than $10 billion in public and private development over the last ten years, with more than 5,000 new apartment units and 1,900 hotel keys in development, as well as a newly opened KC Streetcar line. The Power & Light District, developed by The Cordish Companies, is the most visited destination in the state of Missouri welcoming over 9 million visitors per year. 

“On behalf of my family and our entire team at The Cordish Companies, we are excited to celebrate the grand opening of Two Light Luxury Apartments and honored to continue to play a role in the forward momentum of downtown Kansas City,” stated Blake Cordish, Vice President of The Cordish Companies. “Like its sister property, One Light, Two Light was designed to rival the quality and amenities of any residential community in the country. We are extremely proud of what we have delivered with Two Light and know that it will be a vibrant addition to the Power & Light District and the Kansas City skyline for decades to come.”  

The 24-tale, 296-unit building located at the corner of Grand Boulevard and Truman Road in the Power & Light District adds vibrant energy and 400+ residents to downtown Kansas City. Two Light features 18 floors of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and penthouse apartment homes; a seven-tale parking garage with 499 spaces; and 3,100 square feet of retail space occupied by Power Life Yoga Barre Fitness. 

“Two Light Luxury Apartments adds an exciting layer of 24/7 energy to the Power & Light District,” stated Nick Benjamin, Vice President of Development and Multifamily Housing for The Cordish Companies and Executive Director of the Power & Light District. “Like One Light, Two Light was designed to offer a luxury, amenity-rich lifestyle in an elevated urban environment. Residents at Two Light will have access to exclusive, top-of-the-line amenities, all within steps of the multiple dining, entertainment and cultural offerings of the Power & Light District and downtown.”
