Meritex Lenexa Executive Park will expand with four buildings above ground

September 1, 2026 - 02:32

The Meritex Co. is moving forward with a significant expansion of its Lenexa Executive Park, adding four new industrial buildings that will bring roughly 233,500 square feet of additional space to the Kansas City area. The project marks another step in the company's ongoing effort to grow its regional footprint.

The new buildings will rise above ground level, a design choice that sets them apart from many traditional single-story industrial facilities. This approach allows for more efficient use of the land while still providing the flexible space that modern tenants need for warehousing, distribution, and light assembly operations.

Meritex, which has a long history in the Kansas City market, has not yet announced specific tenants for the new buildings. However, the company has seen steady demand for industrial space in the Lenexa submarket, which is known for its strong highway access and proximity to major logistics routes. The expansion is expected to be built in phases, with construction timelines tied to leasing activity.

The Lenexa Executive Park has been a key part of Meritex's portfolio for years, offering a mix of office, showroom, and industrial space. The new construction will add much-needed supply to a market that has seen vacancy rates tighten in recent quarters. Local real estate observers say the project reflects broader confidence in the Kansas City industrial sector, which continues to attract interest from both regional and national companies.

No completion date has been set for the entire project, but site work is expected to begin soon. Meritex has not disclosed the total investment in the expansion.
