Americold Realty Trust has completed the 335,000-square-foot Import-Export Hub in Kansas City, Mo. The $100 million facility is part of a broader network of hubs that the firm is developing through various partnerships, which will facilitate the more efficient movement of food.

Americold announced the project in February 2024 and broke ground the same year in April. The city of Kansas City provided $127.5 million in bonds for the development, according to Yardi Research Data.

The facility came online on some 39 acres at 14981 Thunderbird Road. Key features of the property include on-site USDA inspections to eliminate border delays, load capacity exceeding 50,000 pounds per container to reduce highway congestion and a 300-mile service radius supporting regional food flow.
