In the world of commercial real estate, it's all about location, location, and prime location. Experienced site selectors look for sites with a signalized hard corner, high traffic counts, frontage on primary roads, excellent access, existing surrounding national retailers, and great demographics. This location has every single one of these necessary attributes.
Located at 11115 E US Highway 24, Independence, Missouri 64054 - a highly visible, strategically positioned commercial asset with premium highway frontage in the Kansas City suburb.
This exceptional property encompasses a 1.6-acre parcel (69,643 square feet) at a signalized hard-corner intersection, a key feature that tenants value immensely for its ability to capture cross-traffic from multiple directions, thereby optimizing ingress and egress, as well as customer convenience. With three frontages: 233 feet along E US Highway 24 (18,471 VPD), 184 feet along S Sterling Avenue (9,178 VPD), and 320 feet along 6th Street, the site delivers unparalleled exposure, totaling over 27,000 vehicles per day. For any tenant, choosing a location with such strong VPD metrics is crucial, as it translates to consistent visibility, increased walk-ins, and enhanced business performance in a competitive market.
Zoned C-2 (General Commercial), the property supports a broad spectrum of uses, making it ideal for adaptive development. Situated in Independence’s vibrant retail corridor, it benefits from excellent connectivity via US Highway 24, Interstate 435, and Interstate 70, which funnel substantial commuter and shopper traffic through eastern Jackson County and the greater Kansas City metro. The site is conveniently located just 4 miles northeast of Downtown Independence and 10 miles east of Downtown Kansas City, appealing to both local and regional audiences.
The surrounding area is rich with retail, dining, and service establishments, including the expansive Independence Center Mall (1 million-square-foot regional mall anchored by Dillard’s, Macy’s, and AMC Theatres), alongside numerous open-air shopping centers along the Hwy 24 and Noland Road corridors. Complementing these amenities are residential neighborhoods, educational institutions, like Blue River Community College (4,000 students), healthcare facilities such as Centerpoint Medical Center (285+ beds), hotels, and civic landmarks like Independence Square - a historic downtown district that draws year-round visitors. These elements create a robust daytime population and steady traffic flow, ideal for retailers and service providers.
Within a 3-mile trade area, over 50,000 residents contribute to the local vibrancy, expanding to more than 139,000 people in a 5-mile radius with an average household income of $70,135. These compelling demographics are a top priority for tenants when selecting a site, as they indicate a diverse, economically stable community with strong purchasing power - factors that underpin successful, resilient operations.
