Country Club Plaza’s recently completed 14-story corporate office building, 46 Penn Centre, is adding acclaimed restaurant Ocean Prime Restaurant + Prime Social Rooftop to its amenities menu.

Pinnacle Construction Group will begin construction on the steak and seafood restaurant in the next 60 days, with an anticipated fall 2021 opening date, according to a release.

Kansas City is the newest location - and the first in Missouri - for Ocean Prime’s award-winning Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR). The management investment partnership became a reality between the restaurant group and investors associated with Block Real Estate Services principals.

“At the outset of our plans for the building, we set our sights on landing a world class restaurant for 46 Penn Centre,” said Ken Block, managing principal of Block Real Estate Services.

With 8,500 SF of space, including three private dining rooms and a peninsula bar, Prime Social will be the only rooftop venue with expansive views of the Plaza and surrounding area.

“Ocean Prime is one of the finest restaurants in the U.S. and is the perfect partner to provide that elevated guest experience. It gives our tenants even more amenities at their fingertips, as they will soon have an in-house restaurant and rooftop lounge to entertain their clients and employees,” said Cameron Mitchell, founder and CEO of CMR.

This will be the 17th Ocean Prime restaurant since the 2008 launch of the concept in Columbus, Ohio.

“We are excited to expand the Ocean Prime concept, bringing both classic and modern fare,” said Mitch Miller, vice president of Ocean Prime.

“Our restaurant is known for its vibrant energy, made-from-scratch menu offerings, seasonal ingredients and an extensive menu to suit every palate- including prime steaks, chops, chicken and seafood. Our signature cocktails, from classics to original creations, and extensive wine list are a highlight of our guests’ experience. Prime Social will be a cool rooftop oasis and an ideal spot for guests to sip, savor and surround themselves within the cityscape,” Miller said.

46 Penn Centre opened in the fall of 2020. The Class A office building features 220,000 +/- RSF of office space, approximately 11,000 +/- RSF of retail space and secure, covered parking. Located north of 47th Street and east of Pennsylvania Avenue, it features private balconies on each floor and has been constructed with only four columns per floor for maximum space-plan efficiency.
