Northpoint's $60 million CORE apartment complex heads to Berkley Riverfront

NorthPoint Development's $60 million apartment complex, CORE, is heading to the Berkley Riverfront area in Kansas City, Mo.

The Port KC board unanimously approved the development earlier this week, which includes a revenue bond for up to $49 million in financing. The bond will be repaid by NorthPoint and its financial partner in the project, Northwestern Mutual.

CORE, an acronym for Connecting Our Riverfront to Everyone - also named by NorthPoint - will be the second apartment development in the Berkley Park area and Northpoint's third development in downtown Kansas City in the past couple of years.

The 355-unit community will showcase studio, one- and two- bedroom apartment homes offering a modern and convenient lifestyle within the urban core.

Amenities include a heated, saltwater swimming pool, poolside pickleball and bocce ball, a two-story fitness center and yoga studio, a library lounge, private conference rooms, a 16-ft indoor rock climbing wall, a virtual sports simulator, a WIFI lounge with gaming systems, co-working spaces and a pet spa.

Apartment home finishes will include custom melamine cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, modern backsplash, wood-plank flooring, oversized windows, keyless entry and modern hardware and lighting.

The NorthPoint development includes eight acres, previously owned by Port KC, just east of the Bar K dog park, restaurant and bar. Additional plans include adding a private street through the development as well as 70 parking spaces for public use, including Bar K patrons.

Plans to extend the KC streetcar to the Berkley Riverfront area is also in the works, according to Port KC.

Construction is scheduled to begin this summer, with the first phase of the apartments estimated to be complete in Fall 2021. The entire development is estimated to be complete in Fall 2022.
