Union | Berkley Riverfront
Landform provided a full complement of planning, civil and landscape architectural services for a brownfield development overlooking the Missouri River and Downtown Kansas City skyline. The property includes two 205-unit apartment buildings linked by structured parking just steps from the vast Berkley Riverfront Park. Building courtyards provide active and passive retreats including
a swimming pool and outdoor patio with a kitchen on one side and small fire pits, a calming water feature and secluded seating areas on the other. The streetscape is activated by retail/office space and a build to suit restaurant space.
The project’s technical challenges included constructing a parking structure over a 54” City outfall and navigating a path to entitlement for a site with over 20 years of remediation history.
We further supported our Client by developing streetscape and landscape standards supportive of the City’s, Client’s and the Client’s development partner’s requirements. A close working relationship with City staff was vital to the project’s success.
