Sales at One Park Place outpace city’s condo market

One Park Place is defined by its stunning views, extensive amenities and an attention to detail that solidifies its status as a unique, high-end living experience in the heart of Kansas City.

If you’re looking to leave the suburban lifestyle or find the perfect penthouse, the marketing team at One Park Place is sure you’ll find it here. From atop the highest point in the city, its central location provides easy access to the city’s best restaurants, theaters, shops and boutiques, live music venues and major highways.

“The building is now over 80 percent sold and the sellout of three popular floor plans speaks to the strength of a developer who invests in the building and the quality of finishes and amenities offered here,” said Andrew Mall, who markets the building along with Ellen Vap. “We closed 14 sales in 2014, and have five sales scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2015. This is a highly coveted downtown location.”

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. According to residents, monthly social events have created a “cul-de-sac community feel, but with much better views.”

Designed with comfortable, livable furnishings from Pottery Barn, a model home on the fifth floor offers more than 2,100 square feet and is listed at $330,000. This home includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a south-facing view of the city. The open living space provides an ideal area for flexible furniture arrangement and allows owners to entertain family and friends without having to step a foot outside the building. The master bathroom rivals that of a luxury spa and includes a 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.

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.

One Park Place is one of the few condominium properties in Kansas City to offer around-the-clock front-door service including concierge and security personnel. The welcoming staff meets and greets residents and their guests upon entering the building, but their professionalism and attention to detail doesn’t stop there. They attend to the daily needs of residents — taking receipt of deliveries, maintaining a log of daily events, monitoring people and vehicle movement in the building and observing the point-of-entry security systems to ensure peace of mind.

According to Mall, “Buyers appreciate having services typically reserved for a five-star hotel being made available to them in a residential setting.”

One Park Place homeowners enjoy a comprehensive suite of lifestyle amenities. Every square foot was designed for their convenience and comfort. The wine-tasting room, temperature-controlled wine cellar, multi-screen media lounge equipped with flat-screen televisions, a bar area, demonstration kitchen and spacious party room are all located on the garden level.

The building offers the convenience of an on site, premier fitness center that includes a full weight room equipped with the latest cardiovascular machines. Swim for fun or fitness in the indoor saltwater lap pool, wind down in the steam rooms and invigorate yourself with the mirrored Pilates/yoga studio available on the main lobby level. During warm summer months, relax and enjoy the outdoor swimming pool and whirlpool that overlook the city skyline, offering the perfect setting for entertaining.

Among the requirements of many owners is a view with green space, of which there is plenty. Thanks to the beautiful scenery afforded by nearby Penn Valley Park and its 176 acres including a picturesque lake, residents are provided with the ideal blend of natural, scenic surroundings and sleek, luxurious accommodations.

If you’ve considered purchasing at One Park Place, now is the time as the building has been named a Fannie Mae Condo Project Manager (CPM) approved project. With this approval, 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.
