Biopharma tenant completes occupancy at Summit Technology Campus

CBRE and US Asset Services have secured the last remaining office lease in the Summit Technology Campus building at 800 Chipman Road in Lee’s Summit, Mo.

Viracor Eurofins, a clinical diagnostic and biopharma company, plans to utilize the 17,129-SF space as an expansion of their clinical research and development lab-testing facility. The lease brings the 500,000-SF building to full occupancy.

Travis Gage, senior associate at CBRE, and Michael Lanning, senior managing principal at US Asset Services, are the exclusive marketing agents working on behalf of the property’s owner, KC Summit Technology LLC.

“Office leasing activity during the third quarter of 2020 was dominated by renewal activity in the Kansas City market. Tenants are drawn to the property’s proximity to main thoroughfares, private entrances, large efficient floor plates, on-site management as well as security and signage opportunities,” said Gage.

Other leases and existing tenancies that contributed to the building's full occupancy include Bluebird Communications, CVS/Caremark, Quest Diagnostics, St. Luke’s and GSA, who executed a 20-year lease extension of 316,318 SF of office space in the building - the largest office lease completed in the Kansas City market in 2020. The GSA office houses the U.S. government agency of citizenship and immigration services.

The 500,000-SF campus provides ample parking with immediate highway access to I-470 and Hwy 50. The property is conveniently located near Summit Fair and Summit Woods retail centers and over 60 restaurants.
