Zahner turns building materials into works of art and the family-run company has done so with the lift of AltCap’s New Markets Tax Credits, expanding its headquarters with a 17,000 ft. addition and investment into the urban core. 

Brendan and Amanda O’Shaughnessy were engulfed with full-time jobs when they started Ocean & Sea, a creative studio specializing in products, design, branding and marketing. They needed a buoy, and got one from AltCap, so they could expand the business to what it is today.

If you live in KC or live to juice there is no doubt you’ve seen the background in an Instagram feed or Facebook story, a floral backdrop with green and orange swirls with photogenic “juicers” showing off their latest find. In some images you might see the kind face of Ruby Jean, smiling down on the photographer, supporting healthy eating and her grandson, Chris Goode the CEO and founder of Ruby Jean’s Juicery.

When they bought their building in 2013 was dark and did not have plumbing so Nick Ward-Bopp and Sam Green Co-Founders of Maker VIllage KC fixed it up.

LC Lomax is not just blowing hot air when explaining that AltCap played an influential role in expanding his business, CCI Securities, Metal Design, and Engineering.

It was only Emily Reinhardt, her kiln and a pottery wheel until AltCap stepped in to help grow Reinhardt’s online store and wholesale business, The Object Enthusiast.
