The new space should be operational later this summer.Lead Bank hosted a “topping out” ceremony on Tuesday morning for its new branch at 18th and Main streets in Kansas City’s Crossroads District.
A crowd of onlookers stood across the street as a crane hoisted a girder onto the top of the building. The bank said it should move into the space later this summer.
“I just want to say thank you again,” vice chairman Josh Rowland told the audience. “We’re tremendously excited about it.”
Lead Bank will offer banking services on the ground floor. Office space is also being set aside for four to six startups—the winners of the upcoming LaunchKC grant competition will be invited to set up shop there. Upper floors will be leased out to other businesses, and there will be conference space, too.
Centric Projects is the contractor on the Lead Bank project, joined by Clockwork Architecture + Design and PKMR Engineers.
