Look-Alike Architecture in KCMO

December 30, 2007

The city of Kansas City (Mo.) granted nine square-blocks of the downtown to The Cordish Co. to create a $800 million arts and entertainment district next to H&R Block’s corporate headquarters and the Sprint Center. As part of the construction on the Power and Light District, a strange stainless steel façade has appeared in the 1300 block of Main Street, somewhat resembling an Apple retail storefront, but with sloppy panel alignment and a strange upper-level, off-center “window” instead of a back-lit Apple logo. The location hasn’t previously been noted as a possible Apple store location, and none of the developer’s leasing plans show Apple as a tenant.

Well we all know that’s not an Apple store, but that thing looks pretty fugly. What is up with that “window”? The steel doesn’t look anywhere close to Apple’s standards as is just isn’t reflecting like they usually do. Wonder what it could be for.
