Conexon, a leading rural fiber broadband design and deployment firm, has signed a lease for a new headquarters at 2300 Main St., an 11-story Class A office building near Crown Center and Union Station in Kansas City. The move underscores the area’s growing appeal as a destination for corporate tenants.
The 2300 Main building, which spans approximately 520,000 SF, recently underwent more than $7 million in upgrades, including modernized building systems, lobby improvements, landscaping, and elevator enhancements. These improvements helped raise occupancy from 76 percent to roughly 90 percent.
Conexon, founded by co-CEO Randy Klindt, will consolidate its operations in the new space, which will house network design, construction management, operations, sales, and marketing, as well as a state-of-the-art network operations center and technical support call center. Klindt said the location allows the company to stay close to partners and clients while benefiting from Kansas City’s central location in the Midwest tech and rural broadband markets.
The lease highlights Crown Center’s evolution as a walkable, amenity-rich district combining office space, hotels, restaurants, retail, cultural venues, and open green spaces. Plans for a nearby streetcar expansion, expected to begin operations in 2025, will further improve connectivity for employees and tenants.
Conexon’s headquarters is seen as a boost for downtown Kansas City, reinforcing the city’s emerging status as a hub for tech and infrastructure companies while attracting and retaining talent.
