The ground floor will be open to <br />the river, drawing the public in for art, music, food, <br />and drink. We see the upper levels of the building <br />as comprising a mix of co-working, community and <br />university classes, venture incubation for early- <br />stage startups, and established anchor tenants. <br />Tenants on these floors will include entrepreneurs, <br />artists, founders, freelancers, remote workers, small <br />business owners, digital creatives, makers – both <br />students and professionals. <br />Parlor micro-restaurant hub , Kansas City, MO <br />Ap <br />r <br />i <br />l <br /> <br />24 <br />, <br /> <br />20 <br />1 <br />9 <br />, <br /> <br />Wo <br />r <br />k <br /> <br />Se <br />s <br />s <br />i <br />o <br />n <br /> <br />- <br />It <br />e <br />m <br /> <br />1
