Within a
prestigious 315-acre business park in Lenexa,
Kansas, there was a 7-acre site
dedicated to retail development at the intersection of 95th Street and Lackman Road. CP&A worked with Kessinger/Hunter &
Co., Inc. to design a 14,500 square foot multi-tenant shopping center as part
of the overall retail site.
The
cold-shell building was planned for up to eleven individual tenants. Through the use of brick masonry, cast stone
accents, standing seam copper roofing and north-facing clear glass storefronts,
the shopping center presents an inviting yet durable appearance and maximizes
the visibility into each lease space.
The design
and material standards that were established for the shopping center were
applied to the future retail buildings to be developed on pad sites within the Kansas Commerce
Center. This maintains a consistent quality and
appearance to the overall retail development.
After the cold shell shopping center was completed, CP&A designed
the improvements for two tenants; GEAR For Sports and Mr. Goodsense.
