Advisors Excel’s Continued Growth Extends in Gage Center and Satellite Office in Lenexa

Advisors Excel (AE) announces plans for a multi-million-dollar renovation of the Gage Center campus mall and a new satellite office in Lenexa. The expansion addresses the 17-year-old Topeka company’s evolving business needs.

Due for completion in July 2023, the complex’s expansion will esthetically follow the already completed renovations at Gage and provide a space solution for AE’s ever-increasing staff demands. The transformation will add 42,000 square feet for a total of 113,850 square feet, including office spaces, AE Café, and indoor and outdoor gathering areas at the Huntoon and Gage location.

“Advisors Excel just keeps investing and re-investing in our community. Their commitment to their city and region is evident in so many ways, and continued redevelopment at Huntoon and Gage is just another example on a long list,” said Matt Pivarnik, CEO Greater Topeka Partnership. “It seems that every time AE leaders put their minds to something, the outcome exceeds everyone’s wildest imagination and expectations.”

The purpose of the Lenexa office addition is two-fold. It will allow the nearly 50 staff members who commute from Kansas City to spend more time at home with their families while still enjoying the AE culture, thus providing a more desirable work/life balance. It will also enhance AE Wealth Management’s ability to recruit and retain Kansas City-based professionals with the specialized skillsets, security licenses, and designations needed to support its wealth management platform.

“Since 2005, Advisors Excel has called Topeka home; we are 100 percent committed to Topeka, and that will never change,” said Cody Foster, Co-founder of Advisors Excel. “When we started AE Wealth Management in 2016, we knew the wealth management business model was going to take professionals with a unique set of skills and talent to help grow the platform, and Kansas City has a history of wealth management corporations, so opening an office in Lenexa makes perfect sense.”

AE has been named a Great Place to Work for six years. The company’s vision is to become a thriving and sustainable company capable of creating a life-changing impact on our advisors, team members, and communities for the next 100 years. AE is the largest field marketing organization in the country, with $8.9 billion in premiums in 2021 and nearly 800 employees.
