What We Do
IAS Partners was formed in 1987 for the purpose of managing and developing retail centers, office buildings and apartment communities in Missouri and Kansas. Combined properties owned and managed include 900 apartment units and more than 1,000,000 square feet of office and retail space.
In 1999, IAS Partners acquired the Blue Ridge Mall. By working with the City of Kansas City, Missouri to secure tax increment financing for the project, IAS was able to complete a full demolition of the mall and redevelopment of the site into a 45-acre supercenter known as the Blue Ridge Crossing Shopping Center. Anchored with Walmart Supercenter, Lowe’s, Chipotle, Starbucks, McDonald’s, IHOP, Verizon and Applebee’s.
Building upon the success of the Blue Ridge Crossing redevelopment, IAS Partners acquired the Antioch Mall, an iconic Northland shopping center. Over the last seven years, IAS Partners successfully redeveloped the site into a 56-acre, 300,000 sq. ft. mixed use project.
Some of the key tenants at Antioch Crossing include Walmart Neighborhood Market, Burlington, PetSmart, Starbucks, Five Guys, Firehouse Subs, a 96-unit apartment complex and an Extra Space Storage facility.
Metro North Crossing LLC, an affiliate of IAS Partners, is currently redeveloping the former 106-acre site of the Metro North Mall. To date, IAS has developed a 249-unit luxury apartment development with 30,000 square feet of boutique retail space known as Woodstone at Metro North Crossing. Woodstone was completed in August of 2022 and as of July of 2023, the apartments are 95% leased and leases are signed with several local retail and restaurant concepts. IAS is currently in the pre-construction planning phases for Phase 2 of Woodstone, which will include an additional 213 luxury apartments.
In addition to Woodstone, IAS developed T-Shotz in 2020, which is a 52,000 square foot golf entertainment facility anchoring the north end of the development. Whataburger and Hawaiian Bros Island Grill both opened at Metro North Crossing in late 2022. Additional phases will include more luxury apartments, retail, restaurants, entertainment concepts and hotels.
