Sky on Main

Sky on Main, located in downtown Kansas City is a luxury multifamily development that transforms a former office building into residential units. This adaptive reuse project expands on an existing conversion from 30 units to 281 units in 21-story historic building, as well as 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

The clean, mid-century aesthetic of the building exterior and the exterior ambient light around the building perimeter inspired a “gallery” feel, which was carried throughout the design with aimable wall lighting to brighten areas between interior windows. A skybridge was created to connect the Sky on Main with its parking structure, and rooftop amenities.

Each one- or two-bedroom apartments feature 12′ ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows for maximum natural light to flood the open concept layouts.

Converting multiple floors of what had been office space to multifamily while the office tenants below remained required careful planning to avoid HVAC and plumbing issues. Floors that were being renovated were removed from the building’s central HVAC system and placed onto separately zoned split systems. It also was important to keep the historical aspects of the building preserved.

Multiple high-end amenities were designed to add to the luxury living experience such as on-site fitness, an indoor basketball court, media/social room, game room, gathering kitchen with bar, 24-hour convenience store and a rooftop patio.
