Deere Begins Building In Olathe

Kansas City Business Journal reports that after a false start in late 2008, Deere & Co. has started up construction on their 126,150 square foot headquarters in Olathe, KS. The facility is estimated to cost $25 million to build. It will house as many as 500 marketing professionals who will provide support and service to John Deere sales branches and agriculture and turf dealerships in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, according to the company.

The new building will replace Deere’s current North American marketing headquarters in Lenexa, KS.
