Ambassador Gateway at KCI represents one of the largest remaining commercial development opportunities along the I-29 corridor immediately adjacent to Kansas City International Airport.
Located at the convergence of I-29 and I-435, the development offers exceptional regional access, airport proximity and interstate visibility in one of Kansas City's most active growth corridors.
The next phase of Ambassador Gateway includes approximately 27.85 acres across seven development sites ranging from approximately 1.6 to 9.5 acres. Sites may be capable of being combined or reconfigured depending on user requirements and development plans. The property is currently zoned GP-3 Commercial and accommodates a broad range of potential commercial uses.
A major infrastructure milestone was completed in June 2026 with the opening of the development's new main entrance and roundabouts, providing access to the available development sites.
The property benefits from more than 2,500 linear feet of frontage along I-29 and approximately 2,100 linear feet along I-435, giving future businesses extraordinary visibility to travelers, employees and commercial traffic moving through the airport corridor.
Ambassador Gateway already includes an approximately 300,000-square-foot office building occupied by major organizations including National Beef, Purina, Western Governors University, Boilermakers International and TSA, creating an established employment base within the development.
The development sits immediately adjacent to Kansas City International Airport and directly south of Hunt Midwest's massive KCI 29 Logistics Park, adding another major employment and development engine to the corridor.
Kansas City International Airport itself is a major economic driver. MCI generated approximately $6.3 billion in regional economic output and nearly 40,000 jobs, while handling more than 12.1 million passengers in 2024, the busiest year in airport history. In June 2026 alone, MCI handled more than 1.12 million passengers and offered service to 56 nonstop markets.
Platte County continues to grow as well. Census estimates place the county's population at approximately 114,400 in 2025, up 7.2% from the 2020 population base.

For companies seeking visibility, highway access, airport proximity and long-term growth potential, Ambassador Gateway at KCI offers a combination that is extremely difficult to replicate elsewhere in the Kansas City market.
