 The One Light Luxury Apartments in downtown Kansas City is now open to serve its clients.

            The grand opening of the luxurious apartment was attended by the Cordish Family, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, and Mayor Sly James.

            "One Light is a shining example of The Cordish Companies' commitment to quality and delivering best-in-class, public-private developments," said Mayor Sly James. "The Cordish Companies' Power & Light District, and now One Light, have played a pivotal role in the rebirth of downtown Kansas City. With the streetcar, Two Light Luxury Apartments and the convention hotel on the immediate horizon, the future of downtown Kansas City truly is bright."

            According to their press release in PR Newswire, the One Light Luxury Apartments is the first of four Luxury Apartments to be built by The Cordish Company in downtown Kansas City. The 25-storey building in the corner of 13th and Walnut Streets in the heart of downtown Kansas City's Power & Light District offers studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and penthouse luxury apartments ranging in size from 580 sq. feet. to 1395 sq. feet.

            "We are incredibly proud to have played a role in the renaissance of downtown Kansas City, and to have partnered with Mayor James and the City," said Blake Cordish, Vice President of The Cordish Companies. "We designed and developed One Light with the goal that it would be on par with the best apartment buildings in the country, whether in New York, Chicago or San Francisco. We believe that is what Kansas City deserves, and we are proud to say that is what we have delivered."

            The building features high-class amenities, which include a club room, an entertainment kitchen with a wine display wall, a 21,000 sq. ft. outdoor pool deck, a theater room, a conference room and a fitness center. Residents of the luxury apartments also have an easy access to the 35,000 sq. ft. Cosentino's Market Downtown, and the 35,000 sq. ft. Onelife Fitness Center.

            "Our goal in developing One Light was to offer our residents all the luxury and amenities of a resort lifestyle without having to sacrifice the convenience, energy and excitement of a vibrant downtown," said Nick Benjamin, Executive Director of the Kansas City Power & Light District and Director of Multi-family Development for The Cordish Companies. "Our residents will have year-round access to a rooftop pool and bar, a resident-sommelier and room service from more than a dozen downtown restaurants, while at the same time living steps away from a grocery store, a full-service fitness center, downtown arenas and performing arts halls, the KC Streetcar, KC Live! and the central business district. We believe this is what the future of urban living looks like--everything for everyone, all in one place."
