There are 15 colored balls in billiards, 7 “solid”, 7 “striped” and the black 8-ball in this sport.
What is billiards?

It’s hard to think about spending time inside now that the weather is turning from blazing hot to perfectly Fall. But when the time does come to avoid a rainy evening or burn off some stress after a long week, there are lots of options at One Park Place. One such place: the billiards room. Tucked in to a cozy room just off the main lobby hallway with two high-top tables in the room for ‘cheering sections,’ our residents go head-to-head and enjoy challenging each other to a friendly game of pool.
From the indoor pool and fitness center to the wine tasting room, cigar parlour and billiards room – we’re certain you’ll find something that suits your lifestyle. Call our sales team today to schedule a tour! 816.756.2221

A few weeks ago I promised to share some new photos from the photo shoot we held from our new model on the 8th floor. I’ve been scanning the images and let me tell you – they do not disappoint.
Picture this. It’s Monday morning. You’ve hit snooze 3 times but must come to terms with the fact that it’s a new day and a new week. I can tell you that on a day like that – there’s nothing better than waking up to see this outside your bedroom window…

One of my favorite things to do on a lazy afternoon is read. It doesn’t always matter what I’m reading as long as I’m comfortable. This den is PERFECT – it’s classic and chic, yet comfortable and beautiful. Can’t you just picture yourself reading a book in theden and pausing between chapters for this…

Our beautiful homes will leave you wondering why it’s taken you this long to come see the view for yourself.

A wonderfully written feature on the amazing views and attractive prices at One Park Place is on shelves now! The August/September issue of Commercial Journal says “It isn’t easy to convert a 1960s-era office building into a luxury condominium development, but thanks to new financing opportunities and a breathtaking renovation, One Park Place has become a beacon for downtown real estate.”

We held a photo shoot last night at One Park Place from inside a beautiful new model on the 8th floor. The sky was perfect. The view was incredible. Nights like that make me never want to leave Kansas City. Can’t wait to show you the incredible photos that our photographer extraordinaire Ron Berg captured in our new ads later this fall. Until then, stop by and see for yourself. We have eleven new move-in ready units that offer a variety of floor plans and finishes. There are two furnished models that you won’t want to miss – both with great north-facing views that will make you stop and say “Ahhhh.”

Although construction continues on over 50 additional units which offer a variety of floor plans with beautiful finishes, prospective buyers will appreciate the comfort found in the 11 move-in ready units.

It seems as if you can see it from just about everywhere. For more than four decades, this has been one of Kansas City’s most notable, and noted, buildings. Conceived by the renowned architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) as the national headquarters for the Business Men’s Assurance Company (BMA), it has long been celebrated and honored as an exceptional Kansas City icon. The structure, once featured in a special exhibit at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, has since taken on a new life. As One Park Place, the former BMA tower is now the most extraordinary residence in town. This prominent and historic landmark has been menticulously carved into elegant condominiums for a fortunate few.
Now, the unparalleled setting isn’t only for viewing from the outside.

It would be a shame to leave such a beautiful building everyday to head in to the office. An office filled with cubicles. An office with no windows. No spectacular views. No fun. Well, you can forget about that gloomy scenario because another wonderful benefit to living at One Park Place is this: you don’t have to leave here to go to work! Our fully equipped boardroom, conference room and executive business center provide everything you need to get the job done without ever having to step foot outside of the building.

There are so many wonderful things about our state-of-the-art fitness center. It houses the latest in cardio and strength-training equpment. There’s a fitness studio, complete with hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling mirrors for yoga, Pilates and other exercise activities. There are TVs mounted on to the treadmills so no more excuses…”I can’t go to the gym or I’ll miss the Survivor finale tonight…” One of my favorite things about the fitness center – no commute! A quick jog to the elevator (you know, to get your heart rate pumping), a few seconds down to the main lobby level (the elevators are spacious – do some stretching!) and WHAM! You’re there. Simply stated, you won’t find another condominium in the city that matches the quality found at One Park Place.

Our residents have been love, love, loving the pool this summer! All the sun and hot weather have definitely made this a “sit by the pool” kind of summer. Plenty of relaxing space for catching up on a great book or magazine, a grill nearby to BBQ with some friends. Life is good at One Park Place!

If condo living is what you desire, there are a lot of options in Kansas City. And because we live in a beautiful town there are a lot of great views to be had. What makes the view at One Park Place different from all the rest? Our view doesn’t involve the side of another building or a peek right in to your neighbor’s kitchen. High above the heart of Kansas City – at One Park Place you’ll have views like this forever. Because of the proximity of Penn Valley Park, there will never be another high rise obstructing your view of the changing seasons.
Where else can you get panoramic views of both sides of the state line from the comfort of your own living room?
