The Grove at Lee’s Summit LLC, an affiliate of Westcott Investment Group, plans to break ground on a $220-million mixed-use project in Lee’s Summit, MO, roughly 20 miles southeast of Kansas City, MO. The Grove will be developed on an 85-acre site southeast of the interchange of U.S. Highway 50 and Missouri Highway 291.

The Grove is envisioned to be developed over a 10-year period, and is planned to include more than 600,000 square feet of industrial/flex space, 95,000 square feet of office, 88,225 square feet of retail and restaurant, as well as 384 apartments.

The initial 1.29-acre phase of the project includes a spec 200,000-square-foot industrial building, and will include a total of 440,000 square feet of industrial space, as well as a fire station.
