AREA Real Estate Advisors, CBRE and KBS have announced that Plate Restaurant is expanding its footprint with a second location at Park Place Village. The property is a 483,984 square foot mixed-use retail and office property located in Leawood, Kansas owned by KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III. Park Place Village is a 10-building complex that offers a variety of amenities including boutique shops, upscale restaurants and cafés. The surrounding area features parking garages, the Aloft Hotel, 120 apartments, 30 townhouses, and 27 lofts.

CBRE's Matt Rau handled the leasing transaction on behalf of KBS. AREA agent Rich DuVall handled the leasing transaction on behalf of Plate. Plate will occupy the former California Pizza Kitchen space at the property, which is located at 11655 Ash Street, beginning in Fall 2021.

The modern Italian eatery, created by local restauranteur Christian Joseph in 2014, features an award-winning dining experience, with menu items that include homemade pizza, pasta, focaccia and other regional favorites prepared daily in the scratch kitchen. Plate's original location is located in Brookside at 701 E 63rd Street, a relocation after the restaurant's original site was destroyed by a fire in 2017. The eatery currently serves lunch, happy hour, dinner and weekend brunch with indoor and outdoor seating.
