KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One of Kansas City’s largest employers is considering several options for its downtown headquarters, including a possible move.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City announced Wednesday that it “is exploring options for its headquarters at 2301 Main (St.).”
Renovation of the current space, moving to a different building or constructing a new office building are all options on the table, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City said.
“We know we are going to be a part of the Kansas City community for years to come and want to ensure we are best positioned to support our customers and members now and well into the future,” Blue KC President and CEO Erin Stucky said in a statement. “We need a workplace that will evolve with us as we drive change to advance affordable access to health care and improve the health of our members.”
Stucky took over as the company’s president and CEO on June 1, 2019.
The current downtown headquarters were built in 1979, but it is no longer “adequately serving the needs of the company and its employees,” Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City said in a statement.
Colliers International has been hired to help identify “cost-effective” real estate options “within the Kansas City metro area.”
Blue KC reported more than $3 billion in revenue in 2017 and more than $2.8 billion in revenue last year.
