Shawnee, Kan., June 8, 2010 – Three Capstone Awards were recently presented to the Straub Construction Company project team for enhancing the Kansas City metropolitan area. Winning projects included mixed-use Phoenix Building in Overland Park, plus two multi-family projects including Hyde Park Apartments in Kansas City, Mo. and Northeast Junior High Place senior living in Kansas City, Ks. Each project was completed in 2009. Straub Construction Company, now celebrating their 90th anniversary, is a general contractor located in Shawnee.

While the Phoenix Building involved new construction within a historic downtown, both of the multi-family projects were equally challenging historic renovation projects that now offer quality, affordable residences for Kansas City families of all ages.

This is the fifth year the Capstone Awards program has recognized projects including real estate development, design, construction, and transactions that enhance the Kansas City metropolitan area. Straub Construction and their project teams have been recognized with Capstone Awards for the past four consecutive years.

This spring the Straub Construction team was also presented an Excellence in Construction award by the Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) for the Phoenix Building project. Located in downtown Overland Park, this building is a three-story development project designed by incite Design and is located on the former site of the Gil Rumsey Art Gallery. The Phoenix Building is stylish, yet crafted to blend seamlessly with the existing historic area.
