Nothing comes to mind other than industrial. Flood plain, railroad tracks, highway. No one would want to live there, that's for sure.

It's a weird building with conference rooms, class rooms that would be pretty standard in any lower-end office. However, the cafeteria still has the same casino signs and the whole setup is kind of weird as minimal effort has been made to hide it's previous use. Cerner bought the building for cheap af just for the parking. I think office may be the only reasonable use for this facility. Not sure if it could be a casino again either.

Yeah, I don't think the market can support another casino.

kind of in a weird spot, but decent highway access. Just nothing around it really. Maybe it could be a a HQ for some kind of industrial, commercial company perhaps. Could be a cool office for like the US Army Corp of Engineers. Repurpose it into an office/training/event space. Some kind of use like that makes the most sense. But whoever buys it will need to buy it on the cheap with their vision to re-mold it.

It doesn't really have decent highway access. It's past a industrial area one direction or through Randolph the other on a two lane road. You park in a basic garage and have to cross on a really long bridge that's not well lit inside.
Repurpose it into an office/training/event space.
That's what it is today, with all the decoration from when it was a casino.
I would expect it gets torn down and turned into river-centric industrial. It's outside the levy system so few will buy it for office use.

the access of 210 and 435is right there. Is a straight exit off, no. But in the grand scheme of things not terrible access but has some hurdles.
I agree it will most likely get torn down. Mt reference to office/event space was to use the entire complex not just the small section Cerner remodeled and or uses. I was thinking of someone who may have a vision for the whole thing as an entire office/event building. But I'm sure it will get torn down

I'm surprised the Ford plant has not leased it to store new vehicles. They store cars in the elements all over the place (station casino, WOF, metro north mall). Seems like that garage would be a perfect place to keep new cars sheltered and secure. That garage is totally worthless otherwise. That's about the only use I see for it.
Speaking of casinos. Is Ameristar dead? It looks so deteriorated on google maps with 90% of the parking lots not being used for the actual casino anymore.

I was thinking the parking garage could be adapted to display cars in an auto museum, and the memorabilia could be in the old casino building. They could use it as an event space as well.
I know Kansas City Auto Museum eventually wants to find a permanent location.

IIRC, Cerner bought the property from Harrah's under the rule that it wouldn't be sold to someone who could turn it into a Casino.

The health care IT company's vacant Riverport Campus at 6711 NE Birmingham Road, southwest of Interstate 435 and Missouri Highway 210, on Friday was acquired by 2022 First Deal LLC, an affiliate of Kansas City-based IAS Partners Ltd. Terms were not disclosed. The 32.4-acre site had been listed for sale through Colliers International since March 2021.
...
Situated along the Missouri River, the Riverport Campus encompasses a 74,881-square-foot, two-story multipurpose building, connected via skywalk to a six-story, 1,299-space parking garage. The building includes three restaurant spaces, a large event space, and training and conference rooms. Also bundled in are a 12,000-square-foot warehouse and a 2,500-square-foot office building — for 89,381 gross usable square feet in total — plus 936 surface parking spaces.
Dan Horn, a project manager with IAS Partners, said Tuesday that his firm has had discussions with groups interested in using the multipurpose building's second floor for office and training space and its ground floor for an event venue, though no commitments have been finalized. The buyer anticipates reusing campus spaces in their current state, with future renovations or modifications to be considered based on specific users.
