METCALF SOUTH MALL AND KMART PROPERTIES SOLD

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (February 28, 2014) Kansas City, MO based LANE4 Property Group announced today that they have teamed with The Kroenke Group, based out of Columbia, MO, to purchase two properties located in the heart of Overland Park, Kansas.

The properties include the former Metcalf South Mall located at the southeast corner of 95th Street and Metcalf Avenue, and the recently vacated Kmart-anchored 95 West Shopping Center (originally known as the French Market), located at the northeast corner of the same intersection. Both properties were purchased from Mission, Kansas based MD Management. The purchase includes the Macy’s building, which recently announced plans to close, and the still operating Red Lobster and Olive Garden restaurant properties for a total of 62.11 acres. It does not include the Sears building, which is owned and operated by Sears.

Originally opened in 1967, the Metcalf South Mall and 95 West Shopping Center were developed by Frank Morgan and Sherman Dreiseszun, who later formed MD Management. 95th & Metcalf was, and still is, considered one of the busiest intersections in all of Kansas City. Metcalf South Mall was one of the first of its kind in America and for many years, anchored by Sears and The Jones Store (later acquired by Macy’s), it was the preeminent mall in the metropolitan area.

“The opportunity to redevelop and reposition these properties in a positive and meaningful way is exciting to us,” Owen Buckley, President and founder of LANE4 stated. “We are equally excited about partnering with The Kroenke Group because of their successful track record in commercial real estate across the country and their deep understanding of the Kansas City market.”

“Today’s announcement by LANE4 signals new hope and excitement for these two prominent and highly visible retail locations,” said Mayor Carl Gerlach. “I know LANE4 officials are ready to move forward and talk with the residents in the area and the city about future plans,” added Gerlach.

MD Management always envisioned redeveloping Metcalf South and 95 West before LANE4 offered to purchase the properties. Adam Feldman, COO of MD says, “We congratulate the LANE4 - Kroenke Group team and we are excited to see them reinvent this iconic intersection. Despite the sale of these properties, MD Management will continue to reinvest in its real estate portfolio throughout the Midwest and look to strategically acquire new assets.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Obviously, this is an important project for our community and we want to get it right,” Buckley stated. “The first order of business will be to reach out to the neighbors, community and City to explore ideas and possibilities. We are starting with a blank canvas and do not have any specific plan or design in place.”
