Carefree Industrial Park, located at 1600 North State Route 291 in Independence, is Kansas City's premier subsurface business park and a leader in the region's renowned subsurface industrial development sector.
Kansas City is ground zero for developed subsurface industrial space. Over 25 million square feet of developed subsurface industrial space exists in Kansas City's metro area. All cutting-edge development methodologies and techniques originate from the Kansas City area.
Carefree Industrial Park continues to be a leader in the subsurface development sector, having over 40 years of successful operations and developing over 4 million square feet of Class A subsurface industrial buildings. The park spans more than 550 surface acres and features 4.85 million square feet of premier industrial space currently occupied by over 40 companies, with an additional 3.5 million square feet available for immediate development.
The facility includes subsurface parking, consistent internal pillar pattern, highly efficient building layouts, ESFR and wet pipe sprinkler systems, dock-high loading with levelers, and drive-in doors. It offers heavy electric power, superior lighting, and a white interior in the buildings, which enhances visibility and turnkey office spaces, making it highly desirable for warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, e-commerce, and assembly operations. Thanks to its subsurface design, the park maintains a consistent year-round temperature of 68 degrees, ensuring an efficient working environment and significant savings on utility costs.
