Construction activity increases with Einstein Brothers and Southern Glazers expansions in Raymore

Raymore's construction landscape is thriving as the City Council meeting on February 10, 2025, highlighted significant developments in local building activity. The council announced the issuance of a permit for Einstein Brothers, which will serve as an anchor tenant in a commercial building currently under construction. Work on the tenant space is expected to commence in the coming weeks, marking a positive step for the local economy.

In addition to the commercial developments, the Commerce Center is witnessing expansions from Nuuly and Southern Glazers. Both companies are modernizing their operations, with inspections recently completed on new sorting equipment for Nuuly and Southern Glazers. Notably, Southern Glazers has increased its workforce since closing its distribution center in St. Louis, making the Raymore location the primary distribution hub for the state.

The meeting also addressed ongoing infrastructure projects, including the installation of water and sewer lines behind Firestone. This initiative aims to prepare several pad-ready sites for future development. However, no formal development plans have been approved yet, as prospective tenants will need to submit site plans for review by the planning and zoning commission.

These developments reflect a robust start to the year for construction in Raymore, promising to enhance local business opportunities and community growth. The council remains committed to supporting these initiatives as they unfold.
