1801 McGee was our first real estate development project. The building is located in an area just outside of downtown Kansas City that was on the cusp of re-development. It was built originally as a Ford Model T showroom and service center and was virtually untouched when my business partner and I bought it. Our plan was to fully renovate the shell and create office space for our architectural practice on the top floor. We learned a lot in that process and spent 10 great years in the building before we out-grew it.
