The Newbern holds 108 studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units with rich, dark laminate wood floors throughout, black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and central heating and air. The Newbern, formerly the Peacock Hotel, consists of two separate nine-story towers bridged in 1925 by a Sullivanesque Style connecting hall. The original triumphal terra-cotta archway still crowns the exterior entry and extends through the lobby as a highly ornate plaster barrel vault, while a buff-colored marble terrazzo floor seamlessly fuses two towers together. The Newbern, a local landmark designated by the Landmark Commission of Kansas City, is one of the most architecturally significant buildings we have restored in Kansas City. In rare and true Sullivanesque Style, The Newbern's details are exceptional. The leaded-art glass transom over the main entrance, cut-and-dressed limestone, carved terra cotta sills, and stunning plaster ornament are some of the features of this eye-catching and remarkable building. Amidst Midtown, The Newbern embodies unassuming grandeur- comfortable, spacious, and stately. Centrally located in one of Kansas City's most dynamic areas, experience The Newbern and be a part of a thriving and diverse community of residents.
The Newbern is part of the Mac Properties community of apartments in Midtown Kansas City. Experience complimentary access to our must-have Neighborhood Amenities, such as lively Resident Events, Gillham Dog Park, and the IBM Lounge. Residents can also customize amenities with our Neighborhood Amenity Memberships to unlock access to the Carriage House Pool and Lounge and the fully equipped fitness center at The Gymnasium at the nearby Bellerive.
