Hunter Harris with LANE4 gives update on project near KU Med Center
Hunter Harris, Director of Development with LANE4 Property Group, Inc., was the guest speaker at a recent CREW luncheon. Harris gave a presentation on LANE4’s latest development, 39Rainbow. 39Rainbow is a 140,000 square foot mixed-use project located adjacent to Wyandotte County’s largest employer, the University of Kansas Medical Center. Located at the southwest corner of West 39th Avenue and Rainbow Boulevard in Kansas City, Kansas, the project features urban-style design with retail, residential and an 89-room hotel and will cater to the underserved needs of the Medical Center’s employees, students and patients.

Bo Harris, owner of Harris Construction and father of the guest speaker, introduces Hunter to the lunch guests.

Bo and Hunter join Diana Ennis with Stewart Title (2010 KC CREW President), and Joy Hays with Polsinelli Shughart P.C. (Chair of the KC CREW Programs Committee).

Chris Hafner, AIA – Principal with Davidson-Brown Architects (Program Sponsor), and Tracie Corcoran – Relationship Manager with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., won the door prizes. Chris won a pair of diamond earrings and Tracie won a sleeve of MoJo golf balls. We’re pretty sure they arranged a trade after the event.
