The iconic Kansas City Star building is now available for lease or purchase through Kessinger Hunter.
The instantly recognizable landmark building located near the heart of downtown Kansas City, Mo. is being vacated by the newspaper later in 2021.
Located at 1601 McGee Street, the building overlooks some of the city’s most popular attractions like the T-Mobile Center and the Kansas City Power & Light District. Some of the area’s newest and most attractive living spaces are located within walking distance, as are other key Kansas City businesses and services.
“This building has become a true Kansas City landmark, and players from across the market are taking interest now that it’s available. It could make an ideal corporate headquarters, an operations center, data center, retail space and multifamily living space – the possibilities here really are endless,” said Dan Jensen, principal, industrial brokerage at Kessinger Hunter.
The building features 344,130 SF of configurable Class A space currently divided between 64,029 SF of office space and 280,101 SF of warehouse/production space. With 18 loading docks and a 40,080 SF interior truck court (not included in building SF total), the potential usage options for the building are extensive.
The building, with its state-of-the-art features, iconic looks, prime location and flexible use options, is expected to garner significant interest from numerous market players across several industries. Plus, the location provides easy access to many of the city’s primary thoroughfares including Interstates 29, 35, 49, 70 and 670.
In addition to the numerous reuse options for the building, the ownership is also exploring demolition of the facility to allow for a full repurposing of the site.
