Two Light Luxury Apartments has been awarded two Best in American Living Awards by the National Association of Home Builders. Given annually, this award recognizes the most creative and talented building industry professionals who have redefined excellence for homes and communities nationally and internationally. Two Light opened last May in the heart of the Kansas City Power & Light District.

"We were really proud to deliver Two Light to Kansas City this past May and we are excited that our excellent design and construction team has received this well deserved recognition," said Nick Benjamin, Vice President of Development for The Cordish Companies. "Two Light is a special building in a special city – it's as luxurious and sophisticated as any apartment building in the country, but it's also uniquely immersed in and tied to its Kansas City home."

Following the standard set by its predecessor One Light, Two Light Luxury Apartments represents the next stage of urban luxury living in downtown Kansas City as downtown's second new construction, high-rise apartment tower building in over 50 years. The 24-story, 296-unit tower was designed by Baltimore-based Hord Coplan Macht Inc., built by J.E. Dunn Construction of Kansas City, and curated by nationally-renowned interior designer Rebecca Jones. Located at the corner of Grand Boulevard and Truman Road in the Power & Light District, Two Light offers one-bedroom, two-bedroom and penthouse residences. Additionally, Two Light features an extensive collection of artwork inside the building, as well as prominently on the exterior of the building that celebrates Kansas City's past, present and future.

Two Light boasts over 16,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenity space that rivals that of any luxury apartment or condo building anywhere in the United States including:

An expansive outdoor amenity deck featuring an infinity edge pool at the building's northwest edge, grilling stations, cabanas, an outdoor bar and a belvedere relaxation and activity space that cantilevers over 14^th street
Indoor Spa

"When designing Two Light, our team aspired to create a modern, glass volume that emerged from a masonry base to symbolize the resurgence of Kansas City from the rich, urban context found within the Power & Light District. The history of KC is elegantly expressed through art both inside and out. We are delighted that the building has received such a prestigious honor," said Brian Gobell, AIA, Principal of Hord Coplan Macht.

Two Light was also recently selected as a Capstone Award Winner by the Kansas City Business Journal, an honor which recognizes the most transformational real estate and development projects completed in the Kansas City region in 2018. In addition, Two Light was recently awarded two Crystal Merit awards by the Kansas City Apartment Association, an award that recognizes best in multifamily development and management in Kansas City.
