About this space
Raw Industrial Scale Meets Iconic West Bottoms Character. Discover a rare opportunity to lease one of Kansas City’s most recognizable warehouse landmarks in the heart of the historic West Bottoms district. The Tin Building offers approximately 12,000 square feet of dramatic, open industrial space with soaring 20-foot ceilings — delivering the kind of authentic, large-format volume that creative businesses, production companies, and bold commercial ventures demand and rarely find.
Defined by its striking red corrugated steel exterior and distinctive raised monitor roofline, this building commands attention from the street. Inside, the expansive open floor plan provides an uninterrupted canvas adaptable to virtually any commercial vision. Clerestory windows along the upper monitor bring natural daylight deep into the building, complementing the raw industrial atmosphere while keeping the interior open and energized. Multiple overhead roll-up doors provide seamless access for freight, equipment, and large-scale operations. A perimeter raised loading platform runs along the main facade, adding both functional utility and architectural character. The building’s rooftop ventilators and robust structural system reflect the no-nonsense industrial heritage of the West Bottoms — built for heavy use and ready for its next chapter.
