Residential Living of the One North Master Development
O’Reilly Development Company purchased land in the City of North Kansas City located in the highly visible and thriving corridor defined by Interstate 35 and Amour. This development presented a unique opportunity to transform a brownfield industrial site into a sustainable, vibrant community in the heart of the Metro. The development mirrors the growth and evolution of North Kansas City – the long-quiet urban borough that sits just north of the Missouri River and is surrounded by downtown Kansas City and Kansas City North. The Backyard at One North is the residential piece of the One North master development.
Residents are able to work and play with no more than a few minutes drive or a five-minute bike ride. The Backyard community consists of 240 apartment units which include 20 studio units; 146 one-bedroom units with a mix of unit layouts, size and includes a den option; and 74 two-bedroom units.
Community amenities tie into the name, The Backyard, by truly offering a backyard to entertain friends and family. Backyard features include open, grassy areas that are ideal for picnics, sunbathing, and hanging out with pets; one of these areas hosts the “quiet courtyard”, which has a small fire pit and hedges for privacy. Adjacent to the backyards is what every “backyard” needs: grills, games, and entertainment. The grill station has an American BBQ Systems smoker, a Big Green Egg, and two gas grills. The game areas have manicured grass turf areas with corn-hole, washers, and giant Jenga. Within the same space are TVs, tables, and comfortable seating perfect for the college gameday BBQ.
The next space is where summer begins and ends – the pool and hot tub. There is a built-in sound system and resident event programming that includes DJs and special musical performances. The remaining courtyard amenity space serves to transition outdoor activities to indoor amenities.
The Social Lounge is an indoor flex space that opens to the patio via two garage doors. The seamless transition between in and out allows the space to have a multi-purpose function. The Social Lounge hosts the community kitchen with a commercial gas range stovetop, ice maker, and mini-fridge. There are multiple TVs, a fireplace, seating areas, and WiFi. The Social Lounge is the indoor heart and soul of the community.
Down the corridor is the next amenity that boosts the development’s active lifestyle goals – the bike room. This room, with open and modern design language, has lockers, bike racks, and a workstation for repairs and maintenance. The area easily accesses the bike share station and the cyclo-tack that is planned for the master development. Notably, this amenity connects to the City of North Kansas City’s biking infrastructure that leads to the growing entertainment amenities of the City.
Across from the Social Lounge is the Café. This area features fresh-ground coffee, an espresso machine, and two private conference rooms for co-working or tele/video conferencing. While it seems simple, the mailroom also features a great amenity – the package lockers. For the pet owners of the community, The Backyard has a dog wash station, a dog park, and offers dog walking services.
To complete the development’s list of amenities, The Backyard provides peace of mind for residents and their friends and family – security. The community has secured parking and a double layer of secured entries and controlled access.
