Pumping New Life Into the Triangle

Lane4 Property Group has embarked on an ambitious $1.1 billion plan to establish a vibrant mixed-use development in an underserved and blighted area of Kansas City.

The Trails in Kansas City is a mixed-use project that will include two office parks, retail and a soccer stadium for the Kansas City Wizards. It is still in a nascent stage, but numerous public and private entities have supported the development.

“This is the biggest project any of us ever have and probably ever will work on,” says Owen Buckley, president of Lane4 Property Group in Kansas City. “I think it will succeed because there is a lot of room for growth in this area and we want to supply a product that is not very common in Kansas City.”
