Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate is partnering with Community Builders of Kansas City and Parson + Associates on a pioneering new concept in downtown Kansas City, a 20-plus story, $100 million, mixed-use neighborhood at 10th and Main streets. The project will include workforce-focused housing, restaurants, retail and a transportation hub.
“Edgemoor is dedicated to improving the communities it serves, is exceedingly collaborative and a creative problem solver,” said Emmet Pierson, Jr., CBKC president and CEO. “Downtown needs attainable housing for its workers and Edgemoor is committed to building an inclusive neighborhood where everyone can be part of the downtown boom that’s occurring, regardless of income level.”
Edgemoor is a leading developer and asset manager of public buildings and infrastructure. It has offices in Kansas City, Missouri, as well as McLean, Virginia; Bethesda and Baltimore, Maryland; Irvine and San Diego, California; Chicago, Illinois; Nashville, Tennessee; Houston, Texas; and Seattle, Washington. Edgemoor has $2 billion in completed projects and another $2.5 billion currently under development.
In addition to the high-profile Kansas City International Airport New Terminal Modernization project, Edgemoor was the master developer of the University of Kansas’ $350 million Central District project that included the construction or renovation of eight buildings on the university’s Lawrence campus.
Edgemoor prides itself on its turnkey delivery that accelerates completion of needed infrastructure and real estate while minimizing risk through cost and schedule guarantees. Also, it brings added value to its clients after delivery and occupancy through its asset management capabilities. By maintaining an oversight role early on, Edgemoor ensures cost-effective and efficient operations.
Edgemoor also offers development management services. Acting as the overall team lead, Edgemoor coordinates between end users, key stakeholders and the project team. Clients can choose from a range of development services to meet their specific requirements on a project-by-project basis.
Edgemoor’s qualifications as a development partner are second to none but equally important, CBKC values its commitment to the communities it serves. Edgemoor prides itself on not only developing projects in our communities but also growing local workforce, increasing capacity for minority and women-owned businesses, and empowering small businesses to succeed. Employees are encouraged to volunteer, whether through helping Boy Scouts earn a merit badge or by rolling up their sleeves to volunteer at Veterans Community Project. In all the communities in which it works, the organization places a priority on making positive impacts through giving back.
