A New Era for
WEST RIDGE
West Ridge is entering an exciting new chapter as one of the most significant mall reimaginations in Kansas. Located in Topeka’s premier retail corridor, the 992,000 SF property is in the early stages of a multi-million-dollar transformation that will restore northeast Kansas’ premier shopping destination to strong local ownership after years of neglect by out-of-state private equity groups.
Advisors Excel has engaged Russell Glen to help shape the vision for West Ridge’s next chapter: a dynamic mixed-use destination that honors the property’s retail and restaurant roots while introducing new energy, investment, and activity. The redevelopment will include Advisors Excel’s new corporate headquarters, bringing more than 1,000 teammates to the property and creating consistent daily traffic for existing and future tenants.
West Ridge already has a strong regional foundation. A typical Saturday brings more than 5,000 trips to the property, with 13% of visitors coming from outside the Topeka market. As the third-largest enclosed mall in Kansas, West Ridge has the scale, location, visibility, and parking to once again become a true regional gathering place.
This is more than a renovation. It is the rebirth of a major community asset. With Advisors Excel’s leadership and Russell Glen’s experience in impact-driven redevelopment, West Ridge is being positioned as a vibrant place to work, shop, dine, gather, and experience the next generation of northeast Kansas’ premier destination.
