No the building is over 20 years old. It was originally built by King Radio. My wife (Brenda) and I both worked in the building years ago. Brenda started there when it was still King Radio, and I worked there after King was bought out by Allied Signal Aerospace. Allied Signal eventually merged with Honeywell, and then they built a new facility.

The building was then occupied by several different companies that came and went.
Sprint spent $9million upgrading and renovating the building just a couple years ago, then moved out after only 18 months.

It had everything we needed for our production (power distribution buses, 2 x 100hp air compressors and air distribution, a 2 MW whole-building UPS system and 2 MW diesel generator, complete air-handling with chilled-water AC system and air filtration, etc.)

Because there is a TON of commercial space available in KC (much of it vacated by Sprint) we were able to lease the space very cheap.

We were very lucky to find such a nice space that had everything we needed -- and find it for a good price.

Congratulations Patrick!

You sound very excited about the new building and very understandably so!

You and your company deserve it.

I hope you out grow it too!

Is there an ICE HV line going in there somewhere?

I think I am officially jealous now.

The compressors alone are worth a pretty penny. Nice find for sure.
