Community Wholesale Tire Leases 204,000SF in Hunt Midwest’s ‘Automotive Alley’

Posted August 22, 2023

Hunt Midwest has broken ground on a facility for Community Wholesale Tire at the Hunt Midwest Business Center (HMBC)—a space encompassing a 2,500-acre industrial development site—with construction expected to complete this year.

Community Wholesale Tire will occupy a new 203,899-square-foot facility called HMBC Logistics V. A space Hunt Midwest says will “increase and modernize their distribution center footprint in Kansas City,” for the tire shop.

HMBC is located east of I-435 in Clay County’s industrial corridor.

In addition, the company will have direct access to 120 other companies doing business at HMBC and SubTropolis, the world’s largest underground business complex.

“We’re thrilled to welcome such a longstanding, family-owned business to Hunt Midwest Business Center,” Hunt Midwest senior vice president for commercial real estate, Mike Bell said in a release. “It underscores that this premier location offers businesses a cost-effective solution to reach the entire Kansas City metro and beyond. Community Wholesale Tire also fits perfectly into our growing Automotive Alley as suppliers and upfitters prepare for the next generation of electric Ford Transit vehicles.”

The Logistics V facility will have a 32-foot minimum clear height, 60 trailer parking spaces, 190 total vehicle parking spaces, a 190-foot-deep truck court, an ESFR sprinkler system, and LED fixtures, according to Hunt Midwest.

Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023.
