A building data company, Emporis, has recently released a list of the 15 most spectacular buildings in the world. Kansas City’s own Kauffman Center was one of two United States structures to make the list, alongside the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Emporis manages a worldwide database on construction data and commercial real estate information about projects in thousands of cities worldwide. Spain was the only other country to have two halls mentioned.

Kauffman Center opened in September 2011, and it is located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, USA, at 16th and Broadway, near the Power & Light District, the Sprint Center and the Crossroads Arts District. The 285,000-square-foot Kauffman Center, designed by architect Moshe Safdie, is home to three performing arts organizations: The Kansas City Ballet, Kansas City Symphony and Lyric Opera of Kansas City. The Kansas City movers are always thrilled to see our city mentioned on global lists such as this one.
