OVERLAND PARK –Work crews imploded a 10-story high-rise building early Sunday morning near Interstate 435 and Nall in Overland Park.  It was a first in the city’s history.

The project will clear the way for a contemporary new office development project called Overland One led by VanTrust Real Estate; it will be designed and built by Burns & McDonnell.

Eastbound and westbound I-435 from Roe Avenue to Metcalf Avenue were closed during the implosion for safety of the traveling public.
