An extensive array of artwork on display at the property, including murals, photography, portraits and sculpture, celebrates the past, present and future of Kansas City.
“Two Light Luxury Apartments adds an exciting layer of 24-7 energy to the Power & Light District,” said Nick Benjamin, The Cordish Companies vice president of development and multifamily housing & executive director of the Power & Light District. “Like One Light, Two Light was designed to offer a luxury, amenity-rich lifestyle in an elevated urban environment. Residents at Two Light will have access to exclusive, top-of-the-line amenities, all within steps of the multiple dining, entertainment and cultural offerings of the Power & Light District and downtown.”

During its 10-year history, the city’s Power & Light District has seen more than $10 billion in public and private development, including the development of more than 5,000 new apartment units and 1,900 hotel rooms and the opening of a new streetcar line.
