Belmont Hotel Revival Brings Affordable Housing | Kansas City News

A historic Kansas City landmark, the former Belmont Hotel, is set for a dramatic comeback as 101 new apartments — from studios to three-bedrooms — rise from its decades-long vacancy. Originally built in 1912 and bouncing through life as offices, a hospital, and even a nursing home, the building’s long decline has finally met a revitalization push. With approval from the City Plan Commission, developers plan to restore its classic exterior while adding modern comforts, a dog park, and parking — with tweaks to zoning and landscaping to fit in. Residents of Hyde Park are thrilled, calling the project a much-needed game-changer. The proposal includes 40% affordable units for those earning up to 60% of area median income, backed by historic tax credits and the Housing Trust Fund. Construction could begin as early as next year — turning a forgotten relic into a vibrant, inclusive neighborhood hub.
