The Yards is a $41 million mixed-use development that serves as the first large-scale residential project in the historic Stockyards District of Kansas City’s West Bottoms. Located adjacent to the existing Stockyards Exchange Office building, the community features 232 luxury apartments, over 5,500 square feet of retail space, and a 325-space parking garage. Comprised of studios and one- and two-bedroom floor plans, the project is designed to bring modern vibrancy to the district that originally shaped the city, bounded by Genessee Street, American Royal Drive, and a convenient city-owned parking structure.
The individual apartment homes showcase sophisticated design elements, including nine- and ten-foot ceilings and oversized windows that fill the spaces with natural light. Kitchens are anchored by 42-inch cabinets, quartz countertops, and luxury wood-style flooring, complemented by decorative pendant and track lighting. Modern convenience is a priority, with every unit featuring a Nest® thermostat, Google Fiber access, and front-load washers and dryers. Select residences offer further upgrades, such as premium appliance packages and soaking tubs, while all homes include private patios or balconies to enjoy the surrounding urban landscape.
The community offers approximately 8,000 square feet of “storefront” amenity space on the first floor, providing a wireless environment throughout. Residents have access to a state-of-the-art fitness center, a lounge with commercial-grade coffee service, and a game and leisure room. Outdoor living is central to the lifestyle at The Yards, featuring a resort-style pool with a swim-up bar, a wet deck, and an “outdoor living room” complete with fire pits, BBQ smokers, and commercial grills. Additional specialized perks include a dedicated “Bike Shop” for repairs and storage, as well as a pet-friendly infrastructure featuring built-in dog walking and grooming areas.
