Rainier Cos. Snaps Up Regional Shopping Center in KC Metro

Investment firm the Rainier Companies, headquartered in Dallas, has acquired SummitWoods Crossing, a 545,204-square-foot Class A regional shopping center in Lee’s Summit, MO. The acquisition grows Rainier’s grocery-anchored retail portfolio to more than five million square feet nationally.

“We are excited to acquire SummitWoods Crossing; the strong tenant history and sales performance speak volumes about the shopping center dynamics,” said Rainier president and CEO Danny Lovell. “This area of Kansas City MSA is experiencing job and population growth with numerous complementary developments underway. We have some creative ideas about further enhancing the center and tenant lineup and are excited about its future.”

SummitWoods Crossing opened in 2001 and is seen as the “go-to” shopping destination in Lee’s Summit and the southeastern Kansas City MSA.

Sunny Sajnani with Institutional Property Advisors, a division of Marcus & Millichap, arranged the five-year, interest-only financing. Rainier will provide property management and leasing.
