Exceptional commercial opportunity along E US 40 Highway in Independence, Missouri, featuring a fully improved 1.26-acre pad site positioned directly in front of a thriving multi-tenant retail center. This site offers premium visibility, dual access, and a high daily traffic count, making it one of the most attractive development locations in Eastern Jackson County. The retail strip center behind the pad is 100% leased to a mix of established local and regional tenants, generating strong customer traffic and daily cross-shopping. The combination of a stabilized center and a shovel-ready outparcel creates the perfect synergy for a drive-thru, quick-service restaurant, bank, or medical user seeking instant brand exposure and built-in foot traffic. The pad is fully paved and utility-ready, minimizing site work and accelerating development timelines. Two existing curb cuts provide excellent ingress and egress directly from US 40 Hwy, while the surrounding corridor continues to attract national brands and new construction. Independence is one of the most active submarkets in the Kansas City metro, with strong demographics, mature neighborhoods, and direct access to I-70 and I-470. The area’s growth, coupled with its stable retail performance, positions this property as a prime candidate for users and investors seeking a long-term, high-visibility location.
