Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

In March, a refurbished apartment building opened just off the Country Club Plaza: Plaza 209. The building is a post-WWII construction, and the recent $5 million rehab qualified as a historical renovation. . . .

The building caters to Kansas City biking enthusiasts, one of the first residential complexes in the area to do so.

“We went a few steps further than other buildings do,” general contractor Mike Tiehen explains. Amenities include a BCycle Station, guest bike parking, long-term indoor bike parking, a workbench and easy key fob access. . . .

Tiehen worked with Bike Walk KC to ensure the building’s amenities were exactly what bikers would want and appreciate.
