2600 Independence Mixed-Use is a new construction of 25,000 sq.ft. floor area located at the corner of Independence Boulevard and Prospect Boulevard, Kansas City. The new two-story building includes 10,887 sq.ft. retail spaces on the lower floor and fifteen (15) one-bedroom apartments on the upper floor. The building design complies with both Kansas City zoning ordinances and Independence Corridor Overlay standards.

The retail area is initially divided into seven (7) leasing spaces from 1,276 sq.ft to 2,016 sq.ft. The expected tenants are restaurants, retail businesses, or other service providers serving the surrounding neighborhoods. The building provides accesses from the front entrance on Independence Boulevard as well as the rear entrance in the parking lot just off Prospect Boulevard. An outdoor dining patio along the Prospect Boulevard locating next to the corner space will enhance the streetscape and provide an attractive destination for pedestrians. 

To avoid tragedy like the fire event in October 2015, the new construction is designed as a high-profile building of durable and reliable structural framing and fire protection as required. Additionally, a visiting space is designed and built in front of a permanent memorial to memorize the two firefighters who sacrificed their life protecting the community.

The project will bring improvements to the current blighted area, providing opportunities to local businesses to enhance their brand images, and contributing to the diversity of the apartment rental market.
