Kansas Auto Auction Builds New Facility on 71 Acres

  KANSAS CITY , Missouri -- Kansas Auto Auction has announced that construction has begun on an all-new facility.  Located 40 miles south of its current location in Elwood , Kansas , the new auction is sited just off Interstate 29, five minutes from the Kansas City Airport . Situated on 71 acres, the new facility will include a 20,000 square foot building housing business offices and five auction lanes in the arena.

Construction was started in October of last year, and auction officials are projecting a completion date in June of 2008.  Phase II of the construction will include a state-of-the-art recon facility, which will begin in late 2008.

 “The time is right for a move,” said auction owner Doug Doll.  “We’ve operated out of our current location for nearly 29 years, and to say we’ve outgrown the space is an understatement. In just the past three years our consignment has increased 25%, our weekly attendance is up more than 10%, and our units sold have jumped 20%.  We’re bursting at the seams, and we’re all looking forward to welcoming our customers to our beautiful new home in the spring.”

The address for the new facility is 11101 North Congress, Kansas City, Missouri. Because it is moving across the river to a new state, it will also change its name to Kansas City Independent Auto Auction.
