Matt Pennington, president of Drake Development. We are a commercial real estate developer here out of Overland Park, Kansas. We do primarily premier mixed use developments throughout the Midwest. You know, knowing the reputation of Capitol Federal, it was an exciting time for us knowing that they could do our deal.


Yeah. True partnership is really based off trust, and then just learning about each other's business and what we can do for each other. So CapFed's done exactly that. They've learned our business.


We've learned how they've worked. We work hand in hand every day, and it's been really important for a project like Merriam Grand Station, and it's delivered the results that we wanted. We were able to just have a really open dialogue and come to solutions, and that's why you see where we're at right now. It's put this project on the map.


The responsiveness is absolutely second to none. If you have a bank that can act diligently and quickly, it sets you apart, and that's something that we need as a client, and they've delivered. The fact that they they get into the weeds, and they they go through our construction draws so quickly, and and understand our business, getting those funds back to us and back to the contractors has been an an absolute huge win for this project, and and to the speed of it being built. I mean, it is that small town bank feel that, you just don't get, with this type of, potential volume that you can do with a a large scale bank.


As you learn what they can provide you, it's something that it's better and and more efficient than I think you'll realize from other lenders. 

Capitol Federal®.

Together, we build what's next.
