The site sits alongside the distinctive skyline in the central business district, near the city’s largest bank. The Metro Area Express (MAX), a bus system designed to avoid congestion, means easy transportation. The rich traditions of Kansas City, which include jazz, blues, fountains, and KC-style barbecue, are also on hand in a largely redeveloped district known for its arts, boutique shops and local cuisine. There is also a 19,000-seat sports and music arena within easy reach.
