Our Kansas City Architecture Firm Develops the Missouri River Waterfront Once Again
Construction is wrapping up at CORE | Modern Apartments, an NSPJ multifamily architecture project that offers next-level living in an optimal location within walking distance of the Berkley Riverfront Park. It is the newest addition to luxury apartment living in the heart of the Kansas City metro area.
The project, commissioned, owned, and operated by, North Point Management, started in summer 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction of the entire development is scheduled for completion at the end of this year.
Our multifamily architecture practice includes architecture, landscape architecture, and land-planning services for historic and adaptive reuse projects and multifamily buildings.
Boasting a fresh, urban look, CORE | Modern Apartments features 355 units in two four-story buildings, including six penthouses at about 1,400 square feet each.
Units available include studios, one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms with study, two-bedroom apartment homes, and luxury loft-style living with high-end finishes. Apartments feature free-flowing spaces with high ceilings, two-story industrial windows, two-tone brick, and fourth-floor cantilevered balconies with flat roofs.
Additional interior touches include modern kitchens with grey quartz countertops, rainfall cabinetry, tiled backsplashes, stainless steel appliances, polished chrome faucets and island pendant lighting. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the living area and bathrooms, while bedrooms feature plush carpeting. The modern bathrooms are equipped with tiled showers and polished chrome fixtures.
A spectacular two-bedroom penthouse corner mezzanine unit boasts a loft space with 20-foot ceilings, huge windows bringing in abundant natural light and a terrace overlooking the Missouri River.
This luxury apartment complex features amenities to fit any lifestyle. For those interesting healthy living, there is a fitness center that offers residents a rock-climbing wall, CrossFit studio with a Jacob’s ladder, a fitness studio for yoga, spin studio, aerial skills, indoor sport simulator, pickleball courts, and bocce ball courts.

For those who work from home there is a private study space, co-lab workspaces, and a maker’s space for small workshop-type projects.
Looking for a place to entertain friends, play games, entertain? The club room featuring two flat screen TVs, comfy couches and games that are available 24/7. The rooftop lounge is another great space to relax with friends and neighbors. Depending on the season, CORE also features pop-up markets from local small businesses for the residents.
Residents will find comfy and cozy spots all around the resort-styled courtyard. The salt-water heated pool with a swim-up bar stays open after Labor Day weekend allowing residents to continue to stay cool as summer comes to an end. When the crisp autumn nights come, a warm fire pit is available to gather with friends and a cocktail.
In addition, CORE features two luxury reservable guest suites offering their residents the convenience of being able to have their family and friends stay so close to their home.
CORE’s prime location in the vibrant Riverfront area of downtown Kansas City offers a lifestyle of adventure, convenience, and balance. Residents of CORE will enjoy living in close proximity to the KC Current Stadium, hotels, and neighboring multifamily and mixed-use architecture. The famous Berkley Riverfront Park is out the front doors where residents can plan a day in the River Market, the Power & Light District, or downtown Kansas City. The location becomes the heartbeat of daily inspiration to connect residents to the surrounding neighborhoods.
With the pedestrian-friendly location, bike rental, bike service space, and ample bike storage are available to residents. Located within walking distance of Bar K, this pet-friendly development showcases the ease of caretaking with its very own 24/7 inhouse dog wash spa.
As a highlight to downtown Kansas City living, CORE offers free surface parking reserved private attached garages and detached garages.
Additional plans for the apartments include adding a private street through the development, 70 parking spaces for public use and extending the KC Streetcar to the Berkley Riverfront area.
This marks NSPJ’s latest multifamily architecture project in the Kansas City area. The design and development of multifamily residential communities is a complex and challenging process that NSPJ has specialized in since 1961. It requires a thorough understanding of all aspects of the project, including densities, site constraints, zoning ordinances, accessibility requirements, building codes, surrounding environmental forces, residential neighborhood associations, and community master plans.
We appreciate the partnership with Northpoint Luxury Communities, NorthPoint Management, and Neighbors Construction for this beautifully unique and modern community!
