(Lenexa, Kansas) Copaken Brooks is excited to welcome Pure Barre to The District at City Center Lenexa. The fitness company is opening its latest franchise, leasing 1,521 square feet at The District beginning June 2020.

Pure Barre is the largest, most established barre workout franchise with more than 500 studios across North America and Canada. The company features four group class formats that deliver total-body workouts focused on low impact, high-intensity movements that improve strength, agility and flexibility for all. There are two existing Pure Barre locations in the Kansas City metro, including locations in Zona Rosa Town Center in Kansas City, Mo., and in Hawthorne Plaza in Overland Park, Ks.

Michelle Keraus is the local owner of the new Pure Barre location and the location in Zona Rosa:

“We’ve seen such great response to Pure Barre across the city, and Lenexa seemed like the next logical place because of the incredible momentum at City Center Lenexa,” she said. “The District is growing fast, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.”

Erin Johnston, Vice President of Retail Brokerage at Copaken Brooks, represented The District in the deal:

“Pure Barre has such a strong, dedicated following, and we’re excited for the synergy they will bring to The District,” Johnston said. “Both Pure Barre and Michelle have proven success in the local community, and we’re pleased they chose to expand to this thriving new downtown community.”

When fully developed, City Center Lenexa will consist of more than 2 million square feet, including civic components for the City of Lenexa, nearly 1 million square feet of office and retail, and 375 residential units. The District Shops will include a variety of unique stores, restaurants and cafes in the heart of Lenexa’s new downtown.
