Good Morning Renters

Every building has a moment when it almost didn’t happen. In our first episode, Casey Wilhm of Northmarq rides with developer Wylie Saulsbury in his Mustang through Bonner Springs, Kansas, then joins Wylie and Chad Schimke inside 120 on Oak. This new four-story building has 92 apartments, and the three of them talk through why downtown Bonner Springs made sense and how the partnership worked. They also get into the roadblock that nearly stopped the project and how a $1.7 million housing grant helped bring market-rate and moderate-income homes together under one roof.
