ARLINGTON, VA. – Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC) will complete the first phase of a real estate acquisition project that will add 2 million square feet of office and manufacturing space this June, the site’s acting manager said last week.
Shekita Robinson spoke at a panel of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) field office managers on the first day of Exchange Monitor’s Nuclear Deterrence Summit. She said by this summer, the site will complete construction of the office for Phase 1 of the Kansas City Non-Nuclear Expansion Transformation (KCNExT) project.
“We just started, in 2024, Phase 1 of this project, and we are due to complete construction in June of 2026,” Robinson said. “We’re already turning ahead of that.”
In another panel at the summit the next day, Eric Wollerman, chief executive officer of KCNSC’s prime contractor Honeywell Federal Manufacturing and Technologies, said the Phase 1 office building was “almost complete” and would “be purchased by NNSA later this year.”
Robinson also said KCNExT has begun construction for its second phase, and according to KCNSC’s website, the site finished signing the purchase and sales agreement for the manufacturing building for Phase 2. Phase 3 agreements, which will involve “support facilities” at the campus, will be finalized in the spring, the website said, adding the phases are designed to be operational after completion of each one without having to wait for subsequent phases to finish.
