Whitney Kerr Sr. has been active in the commercial, industrial and land brokerage business as a broker and developer since 1958. In the 1970s, Whitney brokered the land for 11 office park developments in the I-435/ College Boulevard corridor. The largest was the 293-acre Corporate Woods Office Park, and he was one of the original owner-developers. In the 1980s, Whitney assembled 23 acres of land in downtown Kansas City in a partnership with H. Ross Perot Jr., and was very instrumental in the subsequent expansion of Bartle Hall over the downtown freeway onto the 23 acres.
