Other Projects

Lacy & Company served as the Owner's Representative for the redevelopment of this site, which was formerly Kenton Brothers offices and the original stable location for the Muehlbach Brewery. The office / warehouse building was converted into a small retail center with a parklet open to the public. The renovation involved converting garage storage bays into two small retail spaces. The former office area was converted into an open restaurant space, and the original barrel vault ceiling with bowstring trusses was exposed and restored. A covered outdoor seating area was created, using unique transparent solar panels as the canopy.

The parklet features a large area of pervious concrete pavers with trees planted in soil cells. Concrete planters with integrated bench seating surround the parklet, and all new streetscape was constructed. This project serves as a great amenity for the neighborhood.

Mission Hills Country Club was founded in 1914, and the current clubhouse building was constructed in the 50's.

Originally designed by the well-known architectural firm of Kivett & Meyers, the clubhouse has since undergone several rounds of renovation and additions. The newest project included the addition of a two-story fitness building, open air pool pavilion / bar, and renovation of two dining rooms and the poolside snack bar. Lacy & Company served as MHCC's Owner's Representative to manage the design and construction of this project, which spanned several years and involved managing the interests of multiple stakeholders, designers, contractors, and vendors. This is the first of a multi-phase master plan to update the entire clubhouse.

Westport Today, LLC is a subsidiary of the St. Luke's Hospital Foundation, which owns over 100 single family and apartment properties in the neighborhood between the Country Club Plaza and Westport. Westport Today's goal is to improve the neighborhood through renovation and new construction in order to create a more desirable residential community near the main Hospital campus.  The Plaza North Townhomes were built on 4 contiguous vacont lots in the neighborhood.  

Lacy & Company served as the Owner's Representative for the design and construction of the townhomes. We also assisted Westport Today in replatting the property and creating a Homeowner's Association.

This unique building in the heart of the Crossroads Arts District has served many purposes since it was built in the early 1900's, including being home to United Artists and several Pendergast-era night clubs (the Vanity Fair Club, Paramount Club, the Eighty-Five Club, and the Stork Club). It was purchased by Shirley Helzberg in 2001 as a part of her efforts to revitalize this neighborhood.  Acting as the Owner's Representative, Lacy & Company directed the complete renovation of the building shell and construction of tenant improvements for a  neighborhood market and catering company.  Renovations included total reconstruction of the crumbling front fa9ade, build-out of a full restaurant kitchen, and construction of an outdoor patio space.  Solar panels were also installed on the roof, providing the tenant with very low cost electricity.

Wayside Waifs is an independent, not-for-profit humane society and animal welfare organization established in 1944. It is the largest pet adoption center in Kansas City, placing over 5,000 animals into permanent homes every year.  

In 2011, Lacy & Company was retained by Wayside Waifs to manage the renovations to and expansion of its existing 32,000 SF facility. The project has doubled the size of the existing veterinary clinic, providing the opportunity to care for animals both prior to and after adoption. Extensive interior renovations to the lobby and administrative areas were also made.  

Construction began April 2012 and was completed  January 2013.
