Already the best view in town any time of the year, One Park Place at holiday time is especially extraordinary. Here atop the highest point in the city, residents and their families may celebrate the holidays and ring in the New Year with spectacular skyline lights twinkling from downtown to Midtown.

For those who want to be close to entertainment and retail areas without living in the middle of the noise and congestion, One Park Place is the answer. The sights and sounds of city living are just minutes away, yet the high quality of design and construction materials used make it an exceptionally quiet place to live. From the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and Nelson-Atkins Museum to the Country Club Plaza and Crossroads Arts District, an enticing mix of locally owned boutiques, bistros and bars are within easy reach.Each home at One Park Place provides the perfect backdrop for holiday entertaining. The festively decorated Grand Lobby welcomes visitors to a sprawling, opulent first-floor space that is carefully laid out with a selection of resort-style amenities. A beautiful blend of interior architectural design and incredible views create an ideal setting to host a winter soiree for friends and family, the marketing team said. Homeowners have the perfect setting in which to serve their favorite varietals in the wine tasting room, adjacent to the temperature-controlled wine cellar. Family and friends can enjoy being entertained in the multi-screen media lounge equipped with flat-screen televisions, an inviting bar area, a fully equipped kitchen and spacious party room. Touring One Park Place?s four furnished models allows visitors to sample life in this high-rise building and experience the panoramic views. The newest model on the 16th floor features three bedrooms plus a study and 31/2 bathrooms. With just over 3,000 square feet, this home is offered at $700,000. Designed to be comfortable and family-friendly, this featured condo sets the stage for entertaining and its views extend for miles.Upon entering this home, buyers will appreciate the open space concept of the kitchen and living areas. An abundance of natural light fills each condo. The master bathroom combines classic style with contemporary design and includes a large soaking bathtub and separate shower, granite countertops, dual sinks and ample drawer space and under-sink storage. The high-function kitchen is designed to cater to the needs of even the most discriminating chef. Its light oak cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, and a tile backsplash create a fully equipped workspace ideal for simple food preparation or more elaborate entertaining. A gas fireplace, laundry connections and walk-in closets are standard in every home. Other models are found on the eighth floor with south-facing views; the sixth floor, also with south views; and the fifth floor with north views. Homes range from 1,470 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet.One Park Place offers the convenience of an onsite, premier fitness area that includes a full weight room equipped with the latest cardiovascular machines. An indoor saltwater pool, steam room, mirrored Pilates/yoga studio, massage room and indoor video full-swing golf simulator and driving range are also available on the lobby level. According to Andrew Mall, who markets the building along with Mindy Hix and Ellen Vap, One Park Place welcomed more new owners in 2012 than any other luxury condo community in Kansas City. New inventory of move-in-ready homes that defy cookie cutter floor plans, coupled with lower pricing, resulted in an increase in sales for 2010, 2011 and 2012. ?The livability of the neighborhood, coupled with a blend of rich amenities present buyers with an opportunity to live in a building unlike any other in Kansas City,? Mall said. ?Buyers recognize the exceptional value of what is provided at One Park Place.?Though all interior construction was completed in early 2011, significant improvements were made to the main indoor garage this year, as a final phase of the construction project. This represented a major capital improvement to the property, at the developer?s expense and came with a 20-year warranty to the HOA, providing a significant and positive impact on projected reserve spending needs. Along with the completion of the garage construction came enhancements to the building?s plaza level, which opens on to a wide expanse of natural and urban views. Beautiful new furnishings complement this inviting indoor/outdoor area, which is used for barbecues and badminton in the summer and is a favorite spot for viewing the skyline?s twinkling lights in the winter. In all directions and over both sides of the state line, scenes of a vibrant cityscape can be seen. In addition to the benefits of FHA approval, a real estate property tax abatement that will reduce the amount of property taxes owed by approximately 90 percent in place until 2016 represents a substantial, bottom-line benefit for homeowners, making their dollars stretch farther.
