New $52 million affordable housing development passes first review
KANSAS CITY, Mo – The Kansas City Transportation Authority (KCATA) announced the beginning stages of a new affordable housing development along the State Avenue corridor.
The new $52.2 million development, Redbud Reserve, located at the intersection of State Ave. and Turner Diagonal freeway, will consist of 192 garden-style units. The apartment complex will have eight 3-story buildings, a clubhouse, a playground, and open outdoor space.
The next step in the project is a two-stage review by the KCATA Board of Commissioners in June, then a second review in July.

The development will be led by Marian Development Group under Redbud Reserve LLC. Construction is scheduled to begin in Quarter 4 2025, with full lease-ups by Quarter 2 2027.
The development team plans to build a brand new RideKC bus stop adjacent to the complex. This would be the first Transit-Oriented Community Development in Wyandotte County.
'I truly believe this project will be catalytic for future developments on this side of the 8th district, showcasing another powerful method for fostering economic growth in Wyandotte County and the broader Kansas City metro area,' District Commissioner Andrew Davis said in a news release.

KCATA and Redbud LLC are partnering with Kansas City Kansas Community College to help make the development possible. Residents will have direct public transportation access to and from the college with RideKC.
'I am excited about the prospect of this project, providing additional high quality, safe, and affordable housing options for our students just across the street from the College,' Greg Mosier, President of Kansas City Kansas Community College, said in a news release.
