Overland Park, KS – Davidson Architecture & Engineering is excited to be part of the design team for the transformative Pod Project at 6330 Lamar Avenue, a landmark redevelopment that blends history, innovation, and community impact.

Originally built as part of Trans World Airlines’ Breech Training Academy, the 50,000-square-foot building is being reimagined by WIRED Women, a Kansas City-based group dedicated to empowering women in commercial real estate development. The property’s unique design—five two-story pods connected by a central common area—offers an exciting opportunity to create flexible, modern workspaces while honoring its architectural heritage.

A Vision for Modern Workspaces

The Pod Project will convert the vacant structure into vibrant office suites ranging from 1,500 to 18,000 square feet. Planned renovations include:

• Contemporary finishes and open layouts

• Private entrances and outdoor work areas

• Energy-efficient systems and sustainable design elements

This approach ensures that the Pod Project will meet the needs of today’s businesses while promoting wellness and sustainability.

Empowering Women in Development

The project represents a milestone for WIRED Women, marking their largest investment to date and showcasing the power of collaboration and education in real estate development. Davidson Architecture + Engineering is proud to contribute to this vision, supporting innovation, inclusivity, and community growth.

Location Advantage

Situated near I-35 and Shawnee Mission Parkway, the Pod Project offers prime accessibility in northern Johnson County, making it an ideal hub for businesses seeking a dynamic and connected environment.
