FlexCaves is launching a 51-unit, 84,450 square foot premium flex campus in Martin City, introducing ShopCaves, ProCaves, and PrimeCaves in a fully entitled, GMP backed development. The project delivers modern flex space in a high demand corridor with no comparable inventory and strong regional absorption.
-- FlexCaves today announced the launch of a 51‑unit, 84,450‑square‑foot premium flex campus in Martin City, marking the first execution of the brand’s next‑generation flexible‑use platform. The development brings a mix of ShopCaves, ProCaves, and PrimeCaves to a corridor where no comparable modern flex inventory exists, meeting rising demand from small businesses, service professionals, and high‑net‑worth users seeking functional, premium workspace.
Located at 250 E. 135th Street, the project sits between Leawood, Loch Lloyd, and Hallbrook—affluent residential areas that support premium pricing and long‑term tenant retention. Units range from approximately 1,300 to 3,600 square feet and are delivered in a ready‑flex configuration with mezzanines, climate control, private restrooms, storefront glazing, and an integrated security ecosystem. ShopCaves offer storefront visibility with rear workspace, ProCaves serve trades and service operators, and PrimeCaves provide climate‑controlled showcase retreats for premium users.
“The demand for premium, flexible small‑format commercial space in South Kansas City has been real for years — the product just hasn't existed. FlexCaves changes that,” said Logan Freeman, Leasing & Sales Broker at Midwest CRE Advisors. “The Martin City location gives tenants and owners something you almost never find at this price point: a two‑state customer catchment, genuine highway access, and a destination district with foot traffic already built in. We expect strong absorption, and the opportunity to own a PrimeCave outright makes this one of the more compelling small commercial ownership plays I've seen in this market in a long time.”
FlexCaves was developed to address a clear gap in the market for modern, small‑format commercial space that blends workspace, storage, and customer‑facing functionality. The platform reflects years of refinement by a team with deep experience in ground‑up development, emphasizing practical design, durable construction, and a tenant‑first operating model.
The surrounding trade area has seen no new flex construction since 2022, and existing flex vacancy remains between 3.2% and 3.7%. Retail rents in the immediate corridor run nearly 30% above the South Kansas City average, underscoring the strength of the location and the lack of modern, small‑format commercial options. FlexCaves is positioned to capture users who have been underserved by traditional industrial or retail formats.
The development is fully entitled, design‑complete, and supported by a fixed‑price GMP construction contract with ARCO, a national Top 5 design/build firm. FlexCaves is currently in permit review with Kansas City, Missouri, with closing and groundbreaking scheduled for May 2026. Construction is planned as a seven‑month build, targeting a Certificate of Occupancy in November 2026 and stabilization in March 2028. The project is represented by Midwest CRE Advisors, with Freeman leading leasing efforts in collaboration with broker Nathan Roberts.
FlexCaves incorporates a layered, AI‑driven security and intelligence platform that includes autonomous drone response, license‑plate recognition, facial recognition, and 24/7 managed monitoring, technology typically found in logistics campuses and critical‑infrastructure environments rather than traditional flex developments.
FlexCaves is developed by Cave Development, led by Brett Johnson and Pat Beatty. The team previously co‑founded and scaled Overland Property Group, delivering more than 70 ground‑up projects and over $800 million in completed real estate value across nine states. The platform has never failed to complete a project, never defaulted, and maintains long‑standing institutional relationships with Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, American Express, and Capital One.
