Cushman & Wakefield has been engaged to sell an assemblage of approximately 360,000 square feet of historic warehouse buildings in Kansas City’s up-and-coming West Bottoms. This offering—consisting of three of the most architecturally significant buildings in the area—is a once-in-a-lifetime offering of historic landmarks in the West Bottoms. The size of this offering, and the locational concentration of the buildings, provides the critical mass and scale necessary to create a unique and controllable urban redevelopment district. These buildings are located on the south side of the iconic 12th Street viaduct, which directly connects the West Bottoms to Kansas City’s Central Business District. The lower level of this double-decker bridge has outstanding potential for festivals, art fairs and other community events. And 12th Street serves as the primary gateway to the West Bottoms. Additionally, this location has outstanding access from I-35 and I-670. Most significantly, the properties are located immediately south of SomeraRoad’s transformational new $525 million mixed-use redevelopment (now under construction), which will ultimately include over 1,100 apartments, 40 hotel
rooms, 100,000 SF of retail, and 168,00 SF of office space. As downtown Kansas City’s resurgence kicks into overdrive and development parcels become increasingly difficult to find, the West Bottoms is emerging as downtown Kansas City’s next great development opportunity.
