1700 Jefferson Street, Kansas City, MO 64108

Here’s your chance to build something truly extraordinary in Kansas City’s beloved Westside. This 0.07-acre lot comes with approved variances for a 2.06 floor area ratio and a 39-foot height limit, giving you a rare opportunity to bring a bold, design-forward home to life without the usual red tape. The included architectural plans, designed by award-winning KEM Studio, reimagine urban living with a modern take on the Japanese Machiya—merging creative workspace and personal residence into one inspiring vertical layout. The approved design, known as the Vertical Atelier, spans over 5,500 square feet including terraces. It’s been thoughtfully crafted with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a sunken garden studio, rooftop terrace with hot tub, open-concept living and kitchen on the upper floor, and even a private elevator. Natural light and interior courtyards are central to the design, creating a space that feels serene and connected to its surroundings. You’re just minutes from the Crossroads, downtown, and the character-filled charm of the Westside’s local eateries, bakeries, and taquerias. With city approvals in hand and construction-ready plans from one of Kansas City’s top architecture firms, this is more than just a lot—it’s a launchpad for your vision.
