New development in western Lenexa

Arise Homes/Stone Ridge

As many of you travel east on 83rd Street, towards Lenexa and Shawnee, you have seen construction begin on the south side. The 44 acres will become home to approximately 100 owners. 40 houses will be built in Phase I and 60 houses in Phase II. Currently, infrastructure has begun with leveling and preparing grounds–followed by sewers, electrical and roads being put in place. Homebuilding is expected to begin in early 2024. Across the street, on the north side of 83rd Street, lies 160 acres where 300 homes will be built–though not currently finalized. Arise Homes is currently constructing Legacy Crossings in Shawnee, located at 76th Street and Claire Road. The 126home subdivision is expected to be completed in fall of 2024. All of these large-scale home projects will follow the model of being a “neighborhood of brick homes.” Company owners Matt Mabe and Austin Chamberlin, who have been partners for 25 years, were at a business conference in Texas where they met several area builders. There, affordable, easy-living Texas-style concepts developed and were brought to Kansas. There are no stairs, and thus no lower level or basement. Closets are enlarged for extra storage, and a small safe area/ storm shelter is found in Lenexa homes (Shawnee does not require these, though they are an optional add-on). Homes are all brick–giving added strength and efficiency. “With our hot/ cold temperatures, they do well and are very efficient homes,” said Danny Lesslie, home specialist with Arise Homes. “With a full masonry brick wall, one-inch gap, waterproof zip wall designed to keep moisture out, and then framing and drywall in place–they are solid homes.”

Arise Homes’ office is located at 8282 Gleason Road. Many of you who drive along 83rd Street saw the first three homes completed last year. The office and model home are open and available for viewing by calling 913-347-5986. You’ll also find their complete story, current incentives and a very informative website with photo/video gallery online. arise-homes.com
