Mission Gateway, a 550,000 SF mixed-use development in Mission, Kansas, broke ground on a three-story parking garage this week. The parking garage plans include 1,513 spaces of total grade-level parking, with 831 elevated spaces.

The development, located at Johnson Drive between Roe Avenue and Roeland Drive, initially began construction in September 2018. After some minor project delays, site work resumed this summer.

"In addition to breaking ground on the parking deck, Cinergy (Entertainment Group, Inc.) continues to make progress of their 90,000 SF destination entertainment venue and concrete work continues at the small shop retail and residential building. Additionally, work continues around the site to bring utilities to the various components," said Andy Ashwal, VP/senior assets manager at GFI Development Company.

Cameron Group LLC and GFI Development Company, who are spearheading the development, recently awarded the design of the parking garage to the architecture firm of El Dorado Inc. El Dorado is also the architect of record and designer of the office, multifamily and small shop retail buildings which will front Johnson Drive and Roeland Drive.

“This is a key piece of the Mission Gateway project, which is going to be a one of a kind destination in Kansas City,” said Roger Summers, vice president with Fogel-Anderson Construction.

Fogel-Anderson is the construction manager (CM) of the parking garage and of the overall Mission Gateway project. Other partners on the parking garage project include Olsson and Emery Sapp & Sons.

Construction is scheduled to begin on the office buildings in the first half of 2020. The parking garage is scheduled to be complete by August 2020.
