The Country Club Plaza‘s newest 14-story office tower development, 46Penn Centre, has hooked its latest tenant.

The 8,500 SF restaurant space includes three private dining rooms and a peninsula bar with an extensive menu, including prime steaks, chops, chicken and seafood. Prime Social, the only rooftop venue in Kansas City with views of the Country Club Plaza and Kansas City Metro, will offer weather-proof outdoor dining and a fire pit area on the 5,500 SF lounge. Prime Social will also be available to reserve for private parties and events. Ocean Prime and Prime Social are both new to the Kansas City Market and will bring a unique opportunity for guests to enjoy a meal and/or a cocktail with unmatched views of the city.

Ocean Prime is known to be the ideal place to socialize, talk business, celebrate and indulge. The award-winning restaurant has over 15 locations across the nation.

It currently operates 36 restaurants in 23 states and the District of Columbia, with more in anticipation throughout the next years. CMR strives to exceed the guest’s expectations on every plate, at every table, at every meal, at every restaurant, in every city and state, and to do it time after time.

46Penn is excited to have landed both the Ocean Prime and Prime Social concepts, and CMR is looking forward to its first entry into the Kansas City Market.

By | No Comments

Local culinary favorite, Plate Restaurant is expanding its footprint with a second location in Fall 2021. The new restaurant will occupy the 5,972 SF former California Pizza Kitchen space at 11655 Ash Street in Park Place.

The modern Italian eatery, created by local restauranteur Christian Joseph in 2014, features an award-winning dining experience. Menu items include homemade pizza, pasta, focaccia and other regional favorites prepared daily in the scratch kitchen.

“For us, it is truly all about hospitality and the guest experience,” says Joseph. “When we realized we needed a second location to cater to our burgeoning customer base, we knew that Park Place in Leawood was ideal for our first expansion. We are thrilled to be able to bring our next-level dining experience to this location.”

Plate is currently located in Brookside at 701 E 63rd Street, which is a relocation after their original restaurant was destroyed by a fire in 2017. The restaurant currently serves lunch, happy hour, dinner and weekend brunch with indoor and outdoor seating.

Park Place Village is a 483,984 square foot mixed-use property made up of 10-building complex’s that offers a variety of amenities including boutique shops, upscale restaurants and cafés. The surrounding area features the Aloft Hotel, 120 apartments, 30 townhouses and 27 lofts.

AREA Real Estate Advisors handled the real estate transaction on behalf of Plate. Retail agent, Rich DuVall said “Park Place is the ideal location for this restaurant’s loyal customer base. There is a need for the taste of central Italy, especially their traditional pizzas, in Leawood, and there’s no better location for that than the top-quality office and retail property that Park Place has always been.”

Grand Place Strives To Be Crossroads Art District Main Hub

By | No Comments

Grand Place, the $98 million redevelopment of the Kansas City Star building, is working towards being the next best thing in the Crossroads Art District, establishing a benchmark for leaders in innovation, business, design and community.

To make Grand Place unique for the Crossroads Art District, they will be putting aside 12,000 SF of free space for incubator artists to use for two years, creating a festival for the space, and incorporating commission pieces throughout the building. The commission pieces will include four nine foot chrome letters S, T, A and R that’ll be placed throughout the plaza, artwork commemorating the newspaper industry in the lobby, and a sculpture utilizing about 1,000 old valves removed during interior demolition. “The project is infused with art and the relationship with the Crossroads Arts Community as well as preserving the history of the building and the KC Star,” said developer Vince Bryant of 3D Development.

“We hope we can take this very large building and make it part of this annual festival and draw people in, very similar to the ArtPrize festival.”

Grand Place redevelopment is located between 17th & 18th Street on Grand Blvd. The redevelopment will include: a rooftop patio with bar and skyline views; a clubroom with breakfast and lunch service for tenants, guests and private events; a boiler room converted to an upscale barbershop, spa and locker rooms; a European style market and food hall with 15 kiosk kitchens, a bar, lounge and cafe; and finally a private plaza drive for guest arrival and pick-up items from the Market Place. Along with all of the main building amenities, the redevelopment will also include a future restaurant, office building and bank/retail site with an approved drive-thru.
