Premier 1.26-acre pad site fronting E US 40 Highway in Independence, MO — fully improved, paved, and development-ready. Outstanding visibility, dual access, and heavy traffic make this one of the top retail parcels in Eastern Jackson County. The property sits directly in front of a thriving, fully leased retail strip and shares two existing access points with the center, providing excellent ingress and egress. Full utilities are on site, reducing development time and cost. Ideal for drive-thru coffee, QSR, bank, or medical use, this pad combines unbeatable visibility with immediate readiness. Surrounded by national and regional retailers, restaurants, and service businesses, it benefits from strong demographics and consistent consumer traffic. Independence continues to attract new investment thanks to its high residential density, strong household incomes, and direct access to I-70 and I-470. Few opportunities remain in this corridor that offer this level of exposure and readiness. Offered at $895,000 fee simple, this is a rare chance to secure a premium pad site with infrastructure in place and flexibility for multiple commercial uses.
