"We are glad we could provide a creative solution to accommodate P&G. Upon completion of the lease term, we look forward to marketing the production equipment and providing a tremendous real estate opportunity that is only 10 minutes from downtown Kansas City into the market."

The acquisition includes over 574,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space on 66.17 acres.  In addition to the plant's manufacturing operations, the site includes approximately 30 acres of land that is uniquely zoned for heavy industrial development.  Kansas City is the trucking and rail epicenter of the central U.S., and this site provides immediate access to the interstate highway system and direct rail access to the BNSF, Kansas City Southern, and Union Pacific railroads.
