Amerhart Leases 144,490 SF at NorthPoint Development’s Blue River Commerce Center in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, November 3, 2023 – Cushman & Wakefield announced today that the firm represented locally based NorthPoint Development as well as tenant Amerhart in a 144,490-square-foot logistics lease at Blue River Commerce Center Building IV in Kansas City. 

Amerhart’s lease at Blue River IV brought the business park to full occupancy, and the company was represented by Cushman & Wakefield’s Jack Goldsborough, as well as Ed O’Connor of Atlanta-based Lavista Associates. NorthPoint was represented by Cushman & Wakefield’s Joe Accurso, who leads leasing at Blue River Commerce Center, which is currently fully leased and has three remaining sites that can support approximately 800,000 square feet of new development.  

Located at 95th Street and Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Blue River Commerce Center offers access to Interstate 435 and U.S. Highway 71, 20-year property tax abatements, 40-foot clear heights and ample trailer parking. 

Based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Amerhart will use its new facility to warehouse and distribute its building products and plans to occupy Blue River IV in December 2023.  

“Blue River Commerce Center is an ideal site to support Amerhart’s distribution in Missouri and Kansas and throughout the Midwest,” Goldsborough said. “The area’s deep labor pool and incentives also play an important role in drawing job-creation such as Amerhart’s to the Kansas City region.” 

Added Accurso, “With its unsurpassed location and the development’s overall quality, we’ve been able to lease the first five buildings at Blue River Commerce Center in two years. With this site’s attributes and the overall strength of the Kansas City industrial market, we look forward to future development at Blue River Commerce Center and continuing our successful partnership with NorthPoint.”
