Former Bank of America building in Lenexa to be transformed into event space
The developer says the new event space, the Mint, was designed to take advantage of the financial history of the building. Former Bank of America building in Lenexa, a popular building, is being transformed into an event space by Johnson County developer Steve Beaumont. The event space, the Mint, was designed to take advantage of the building's financial history and is expected to host corporate meetings, trainings, weddings and receptions. The 10-month project, which cost $1 million to complete, took millions of hours and took millions to complete. The Mint also features a one-of-a-kind fireplace, a hologram of hologized water vapor, and a bar. The transformation was completed after a decade.
