Construction on Cordish Companies’ third luxury apartment tower in downtown Kansas City is set to begin next month. With an estimate cost of $140 million, Three Light will sit at the corner of Truman Road and Main Street. Once complete, the 26-story tower will hold 288 units.

To the tune of $140 million, Three Light Luxury Apartments will join the downtown Kansas City skyline, following in the steps of its predecessors, One Light and Two Light Luxury Apartments.

“We are extremely excited to commence construction on Three Light and The Midland Lofts and bring two cranes to the Power & Light District, a sign of new growth and energy downtown following an incredibly challenging year,” Nick Benjamin, executive director of the Power & Light District and managing director of Multifamily Development for The Cordish Companies, said. “Each of these projects will be an important step forward in getting back to the business of downtown’s renaissance and will create over a thousand new construction jobs.”

Three Light will sit at the corner of Truman Road and Main Street at the vibrant intersection of the Power & Light District and Crossroads Art District and will bring another 450 residents to downtown.

The 26-story, 288-unit building will feature 19 floors of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and penthouse apartments, a seven-story garage with 472 parking spaces, and 7,600 square feet of retail space on the first floor.

“It’s been a great honor to have built with The Cordish Companies on such landmark projects that have changed the downtown Kansas City skyline,” Jim Coulter, vice president of JE Dunn Construction, said. “From the vision the company had with the Power & Light District, to One Light, Two Light and now Three Light Luxury Apartments, we are grateful for the relationship we have with The Cordish Companies and the impact the company has had on Kansas City. We look forward to seeing the rest of the company’s vision come to life.”
