Lockton Unveils Design for Future Global HQ in Kansas City

Lockton revealed new renderings and design details of its future global headquarters in Leawood, Kansas.

The project is one of the largest build-to-suit office developments to break ground in the Midwest in the past five years. The Lockton headquarters will serve as the cornerstone of a mixed-use development encompassing over 30 acres, spearheaded by VanTrust Real Estate. This project will offer restaurants, a luxury hotel, retail space, childcare facilities, outdoor amenities, multifamily housing, and additional office accommodations.

The twelve-story tower will anchor the new development adjacent to the natural setting of Leawood City Park. At approximately 450,000 square feet, the building will serve as the centerpiece of the 34-acre project. A second phase is planned for an additional office building of approximately 225,000 square feet. The headquarters project is scheduled to break ground this summer. Lockton expects to relocate to the new building in early 2030.  

“This headquarters is more than a new address,” said Ron Lockton, Chairman and CEO of Lockton. “It’s a future-focused destination designed to elevate how we serve clients and how we support our people.”
