Allen Block, founder and chairman of the firm now known as Block Real Estate Services, shared a dream with his three sons prior to his death in 2009.
“We always had ambitions that we might want to build a really cool building on the (Country Club) Plaza,” said one of the sons, BRES Managing Principal Ken Block. “The three boys and Dad used to talk about that, but he’s gone now and it’s our opportunity to do what we all talked about.”
Ken Block and his brothers, fellow BRES principals Stephen and Michael Block, were on hand Monday to help break ground on their family’s dream building, 46 Penn Centre, a $93 million Class A office tower at 4622 Pennsylvania Ave. in Kansas City.
