What is SubTropolis?

SubTropolis was created through the lateral mining of a 270-million-year-old limestone deposit. The room-and-pillar mining method left behind aligned, uniform spaces between 25-foot square pillars that Hunt Midwest has turned into millions of feet of secure, energy efficient warehouse space.

SubTropolis’ climate-controlled, secure environment is the ideal setting for our clients’ most sensitive document storage needs.
Record Storage Company, President & CEO

SubTropolis is a good fit for Masterack because of its proximity to the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant, where the Transit is built. We also found the underground to be a cost-effective location in an ideal environment for our commercial equipment installation operations.
Vice President, Masterack

The SubTropolis location presents an exciting opportunity for Virbac Corporation; it will allow us to be more responsive than ever and therefore provide better service to our customers, while also being able to accommodate the expected growth in our product lines.

As a nationwide distributor, timely delivery of our products to consumers is critical. Locating in SubTropolis has allowed us to reach 90% of the United States within two days and in these uncertain times, quick, reliable food delivery is more important than ever.
Online Food Company, COO

We looked at SubTropolis because of reduced rent cost and very controlled utility costs with no expense during the winter months to heat our building as well as very low costs during the summer months to control humidity and maintain a cool climate.
Gina Danner, CEO of NextPage

In the dead of winter and summer, we’re saving $35,000 a month on our energy bills by being here.
Mark Mathes, Past CEO of Vanguard Packaging

It’s 70 and overcast every day, regardless of what’s going on outside. We load our trucks … unload our trucks in perfect weather conditions. It’s truly a green environment. We’re probably using about 75 percent less electricity underground than we would in an above-ground facility. Whether it’s electronics or whether it’s food, you don’t have temperature and humidity fluctuations and so you don’t have any condensation, moisture building up in anything. From that standpoint, in my opinion you can’t beat it.
