New model on One Park Place’s penthouse level unveiled

Located at the corner of 31st Street and Southwest Trafficway, the beautifully restored historic landmark known as One Park Place offers sophisticated urban elegance in a high-rise condo setting that is usually only found in larger cities. Soaring above the downtown skyline and midtown, the building features 108 luxury condominiums and boasts over 20,000 square feet of impressive hotel-style amenities.

One Park Place offers a wide-open expanse of natural and urban views. In all directions and over both sides of the state line, scenes of a vibrant cityscape can be seen. Thoughtful creation of the tower’s floor plate affords every home a one-of-a-kind view unmatched in the city.

From inside each home, owners are able to entertain clients, family and friends without having to step a foot outside the building. Open floor plans and elegantly designed spaces with premium finishes and appliances provide the perfect backdrop for intimate gatherings and larger entertaining.

A model home on the 20th floor penthouse level offers more than 4,300 square feet and is listed at $1.325 million. Seamlessly blending traditional and contemporary elements, this home presents a cozy feel to each room as its lively color palette infuses the large space with warmth.

Upon entering, soaring ceilings and an impressive wall of windows provide the best views in Kansas City, where above it all, everything is within reach. Inside you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and a spacious media room. An additional room, with endless south-facing views, is the perfect space for an office or den.

The master bathroom rivals that of a luxury spa and includes glass-enclosed shower and deep soaking tub, granite counter tops, dual sinks, ample drawer space and under-sink storage.

Features of the kitchen include granite counter tops, upgraded stainless steel appliances and a large, walk-in pantry. Ample storage space and closets are found throughout the home.

A private elevator reserved for the four penthouse-level condos transports residents and guests from the lobby level directly to the top floor. Add indoor parking to the list of conveniences enjoyed by homeowners year-round, one cannot overstate its significance during winter months. And, in warmer weather, enjoy maintenance-free living with beautiful landscaping and manicured lawns without the hassle of lawn mowing, yard work or gardening.

The top-shelf amenities at One Park Place allow owners to live, work and play under one roof. The grand lobby, a sprawling, opulent first-floor space is carefully laid out with a selection of resort-style amenities. A host of entertainment options, a beautiful blend of interior architectural design and incredible views together create an ideal setting to host a wonderful winter soiree for friends and family alike.

Homeowners have the perfect setting in which to serve their favorite varietals in the wine tasting room, just beyond the cozy fireplace. As guests enjoy hors d’oeuvres and conversation they will be impressed by the multiscreen media lounge equipped with flat-screen televisions, an inviting bar area, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a well-appointed demonstration kitchen and spacious party room. Beyond the entertainment area, guests can try their hand at a game of bridge in the card room or pool in the billiards room.

The virtual indoor golf range allows residents to keep their golf game “up to par.” And a cold, windy day won’t interfere with their workout regimen. The state-of-the-art, fully equipped fitness center houses the latest in cardiovascular and strength training equipment and the attached aerobics studio is the ideal setting for yoga and Pilates. Those who prefer a swimmer’s workout may enjoy the indoor saltwater lap pool, a whirlpool spa, steam room and a massage room.

According to Andrew Mall, who markets the building along with Ellen Vap, the variety of floor plans, resort-like amenities and financing options have resulted in double-digit sales for the third straight year.

“One Park Place welcomed more new residents in 2014 than any other luxury condo community in Kansas City,” Mall said. “Five unique models on different floors offer an unparalleled perspective of the city. Buyers are able to walk through these distinct floor plans and visualize how to arrange their furniture, which resulted in increased momentum for our sales activity.”

One Park Place offers financing options to help make buying your dream home a reality. As a Fannie Mae Condo Project Manager (CPM) approved project, future buyers will need only a 5 percent down payment and current owners will be allowed to refinance and take advantage of record low rates.
