Nurturing Architects and Engineers of Tomorrow
Team Rosemann Kansas City participated in the 4th Annual Design Career and Civil Engineering Day by hosting an adventure for high school students outside the classroom. The program presented by ASCE – Kansas City, Center for Architecture & Design Kansas City and KC Stem Alliance, provided a learning trip for the students to gain a realistic perspective of what it is like to work at an architectural and structural engineering firm and to kickstart their curiosity about a career in those fields. As students toured the office, staff explained roles and responsibilities, gave hands-on demonstrations of different programs used, and provided a platform for a question-and-answer panel.
Rosemann’s Erin Morris commented, “we are committed to nurturing architects and engineers of tomorrow – the tour offered a wonderful way for us to connect with students and to provide inspiration for their career path.”

Discover The Oxbow in North KC’s Urban Core
Kansas City, MO: We are thrilled to announce the opening of The Oxbow in North Kansas City’s popular downtown urban core. It has been a wonderful collaboration of talent working with owner 18th & Swift, LLC, co-developers Sunflower Development Group, LLC and GSSW Real Estate Investments and the City of North Kansas City to create this remarkable u-shaped, 9-story, concrete and steel structure home to 208 fashionable residential units at the Northeast corner of East 18th Avenue and Swift Street. This project is named for the ‘oxbow’ bend in the river where North Kansas City is located.
The Oxbow has transformed approximately ±1.4 acres of undeveloped land into a world class multifamily design with premier residential units on levels 3-9 including (35) studios, (139) 1- bedroom/1 bath and (30) 2-bedroom/2 bath layouts, as well as (4) impressive penthouse suites.
Apartment features include Quartz countertops, soft closing cabinets and drawers, GE stainless steel appliances, energy efficient roller shades, and more. The 3rd floor is a home run with a rejuvenating fitness center. The 9th floor houses the perfect harmony of relaxation and wellness with a comfortably furnished community/amenity space, indoor and outdoor kitchen, pub area, private work rooms, resort-inspired outdoor pool and deck, along with the best views of downtown Kansas City. Easy access parking is found on levels 1 through 3. The ground floor level brings immediate connection to 3,500 square feet of street-level retail facing Swift, along with a leasing office at the corner of 18th & Swift and secured mail/package storage off 18th Avenue.
Other community amenities include a dog wash on the ground floor, ample bike storage secured within the garage, and bike racks just south of the garage. A fenced dog park is situated just west of the building. The perfect location of The Oxbow brings quick access to North Kansas City’s most desirable locales including not only the popular Chicken N Pickle indoor/outdoor entertainment complex but also Cinder Block local brewery and Restless Spirits, a trendy distillery. Within walking distance, residents enjoy numerous restaurants, theatres, and convenient bus transportation, as well as bike rental on the sidewalk of the property.
Rosemann’s architectural team nailed the heritage of North Kansas City’s brick façades and infill industrial buildings that bathe the downtown community by using nearly all masonry exterior. Sustainable features include continuous ridged insulation around the perimeter of the building, LED fixtures, and energy star appliances.
“The Oxbow is a prime example of our commitment to deliver a style and brand that fosters the future in multifamily design and leaves a meaningful impression on the community,” said Rosemann’s Project Manager, AJ Dolph.
Congratulations to Rosemann’s phenomenal team including Edward English and AJ Dolph, and the entire crew, on the completion of The Oxbow!
