Additionally, the property includes up to 190,000 square feet of storage space, an office component, product showroom capabilities and 132 parking spots, according to CommercialEdge. This is the ninth project delivered by the joint venture within the industrial campus.

Sitting on a 17-acre lot, the facility is close to an Amazon Delivery Station and to interstates 35 and 435, allowing for travel to Wichita, Kan., and St. Louis. The project is 18 miles from downtown Kansas City, Mo., and 34 miles from Kansas City International Airport.

Earlier in 2023, another industrial project was announced in the area. Urban Outfitters Inc. is constructing a 604,000-square-foot fulfillment center at the Raymore Commerce Center in Raymore, Mo. The company will invest $60 million in the project, which is expected to bring 750 new jobs over the next five years. In December 2022, a 1.2 million-square-foot industrial facility for Heartland Coca-Cola Bottling Co.’s new factory gained approval. That project, located in Olathe, Kan., is expected to be completed in 2024.
