VanTrust Real Estate has begun construction on a new speculative industrial facility at Raymore Commerce Center South, marking another milestone for the 260-acre development in the Kansas City metro area. The 577,500 SF cross-dock building, known as Building 4, reflects VanTrust’s confidence in regional demand as multiple tenants are already in negotiations for space.
Located along Interstate 49 in Raymore, Missouri, the Class A industrial park continues to attract national users drawn by its logistics access and competitive incentives. The development currently includes major tenants such as Nuuly/URBN, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, Harmar Mobility, and A4 Apparel. A separate facility for Church & Dwight Co. Inc. is also underway nearby.
Building 4 will feature a 40-foot clear height, multiple dock positions, ample trailer storage and parking, and sustainable design features to achieve LEED certification. Construction is scheduled for completion in August 2026.
The project team includes MW Builders as general contractor, with architectural design by Hoefer Welker and civil engineering by Olsson. The City of Raymore and the Missouri Department of Transportation supported infrastructure improvements, including a recent extension of South Dean Avenue, enhancing freight and commuter access to the site.
VanTrust officials said the project is a continuation of the company’s long-term investment in the I-49 corridor and a response to strong market activity in the southern Kansas City industrial submarket. Raymore Commerce Center South is ultimately planned for more than 3 million square feet of industrial space across multiple buildings.
