We’re starting to see critical mass in the West Bottoms. With the Hy-Vee Arena, we’re going to see a lot of people coming in and out of the area. The restaurant and entertainment facilities are also going to attract the residential occupants of the new apartments adjacent to the Livestock Exchange Building, aThe Yards Apartments and the $68 million 250 market-rate West Bottoms Flats apartments at 9th & Wyoming.
