!?!?!?

Really? How on earth can they make the numbers work at that rate? Did they get the land for free or something? You can't make a new construction highrise in Chicago go for anything less than $2.50/SF AVERAGE or the returns just don't cover costs. Are construction costs significantly lower in KCMO?

Awesome to see a big project like this for KC, one of my favorite midwestern cities.
