BR Companies Unveils $250M High-Rise in KC

California-based BR Companies, a development and construction firm, plans to build a new 25-story residential high-rise on Grand Blvd in downtown Kansas City.

The $250 million project will feature a mix-use, branded residential tower and will create temporary and permanent jobs in the area, as well as bring in new visitors to downtown Kansas City each year. The upscale tower will be located at the southwest corner of Eighth Street and Grand Boulevard. The tower will include more than 300 residential units and 24,000 square feet of retail programming.

“This project will build on Kansas City’s cultural and economic growth and contribute to its remarkable place in history,” said Juan Banos, CEO of BR Companies. Since 2019, BR Companies has been steadily building its presence across the Midwest, with significant milestones in St. Louis and Kansas City. The project team includes Aristocrat Realty, Hoefer Welker as the Architect of Record, and Clarkson and JE Dunn as the general contractors.
