Nestled in the heart of the historic Kansas City River Market, 531 Grand grew out of a downtown real estate development boom. With numerous other developments in the area, 531 Grand knew they had to stand out. That’s where ZIV came in.
OBJECTIVE
With the successful launch of the KC streetcar, the Kansas City River Market area was booming. Two real estate development companies snapped up a critical piece of property and designed a remarkable building to add to the Kansas City skyline. Among other development projects, they knew they needed to distinguish themselves. But how could they stand out? How could they get signed leases before they’d even broken ground?
