 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Thanks for the pics. It looks pretty nice (for a new building..hehe) The views are great! Better than the views from College Blvd buildings I'm sure!

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Well, looking out my window right now not much.  The ground is graded, but since I've been here this week there have been no construction vehicles doing anything over there. We were told they are definitely building the hotel, but I don't have any idea when it will start in earnest.

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Had my first visit there Sat morning. While not swamped the Village was busy, especially for mid morning.

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
I've been over there a few Saturdays and its been pretty busy. During the weekdays it always looks respectably busy too. I some times walk over there to grab something to eat from Green Acres and there always seems to be a fair amount of folks out there.

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Seems like this place has quite good ownership/leasing ideas. Very refreshing for a suburban shopping center...

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Its somewhat hard to term BCV a suburban shopping center as it is as close to DT as the Plaza is. How about an "infill" shopping center?

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
The Plaza has the benefit of being integrated into the street grid.

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Although technically it was the world's first shopping district designed for automobiles instead of pedestrians. So the Plaza ain't exactly hallowed ground for urbanism.

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
I'm not saying the Plaza is perfect, but it does get some things right. It is integrated into the neighborhood. It tucks most of those cars into parking garages rather than seas of parking, thus giving it the ability to be more dense than many of KC's shopping districts. It has evolved to be rather mixed use, though unfortunately it does not have a grocery store or some of the other basic neighborhood services.

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Briarcliff not only has the grocery store that the Plaza lacks, it is also almost exclusively local and small businesses - kinda like the Plaza used to be before the chains took over. Ironic, isn't it? It's also interesting to look at old pictures of the Plaza when it was still a random collection of disconnected buildings scattered across vacant fields - kinda like Briarcliff is right now.

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Ironic yes, but the plaza is massive. Briarcliff village encompasses roughly the size of an average Wal-Mart supercenter. Seriously people, lets quit the Briarcliff vs. Plaza comparisons. For those who haven't visited briarcliff village, don't worry...its a few great resturants and shopping spots, but not much else. Its not some world-changing place. Its an over the top strip mall, by deffinition.

 Re: OFFICIAL: Briarcliff Village
Anybody got the scoop on the new house whose foundations are now going in on the hillside above here? Has to be one of the last view lots in BCW.

Damn...that lot was my favorite. I'll see if I can't find anything out.
