Berkeley Flats renovation complete
Apartments get new look and name
By Peggy Kramer Staff writer
The apartments across the street from Memorial Stadium have a new look and a new name.
Berkley Flats, formerly Stadium Apartments, include a new 42-unit complex and a completely remodeled edition at Eleventh and Mississippi streets. The 100 units are now owned by one company and have one name.
Ken Kuse, manager of Berkeley Flats, said yesterday, "I want to steer away from the old reputation of Stadium Apartments and incorporate the new edition with the renovated section of the complex."
Almost $350,000 was spent this summer to upgrade the existing structure, he said. Some of the improvements included installing new appliances and wiring, repainting the entire complex and landscaping the grounds — all to make the building more appealing.
Allen Belot Architects, 2721 W. Sixth St., completed the renovations and designed and developed the new
section of the complex. Work began in April and with the help of subcontractors, by August the apartments were ready to rent, said Chrisy Chase, a spokesman for Allen Belot.
The intention of the design was to integrate the complex into the existing neighborhood and blend it with the existing structures, she said. The new edition was a private project with a limited partnership.
Kuse said the key feature of the complex was its proximity to campus. It is within walking distance to campus and is on the bus route.
"It is the closest complex to campus — next to the Towers," said Kuse.
Rob Tait, Leawood junior and a Berkeley Flats resident, said the location was a bonus, because he didn't have a car.
He said he liked the large amount of storage space and that each apartment had its own water heater. The only problems, he said, were the high electric bills and the absence of
overhead living room lights.
Bickell Pratt, Overland Park sophomore and resident of Berkeley Flats, said the remodeling was an improvement and the apartments were a lot cleaner now than they were under previous management.
Pratt was a tenant of Stadium Apartments last semester.
In the newer complex there are 42 clone units. Each one has sliding glass doors, which open either to a deck or to a patio, and offers a view of campus.
