Belton approves $34 million plan for Center 301 Apartments

The Belton City Council approved the rezoning request and the preliminary development plan for a $34 million multifamily project located on 17.15 acres at the southeast corner of Towne Center Drive and Markey Parkway in Belton, Mo.

Center 301 Apartments will be the first project in southern Kansas City metropolitan area for the developer, Case Development, who has built similar projects in five states.

“We’ve developed more than fifty communities in eleven cities with the goal to provide successful professionals, young and old, an upscale place to call home with an abundance of amenities,” said Scott Case, president and CEO of Case & Associates.

Different building styles are planned for the Class-A, gated community including three-story, enclosed walkups; three-story, enclosed walkups with first-floor garages; and two-and three-story walkups with first-floor garages. The 154 one-bedroom, one-bath units will have four different floor plans while the 152 two-bedroom, two-bath units will have five different floor plans.

The apartment development will feature a 3,600-SF clubhouse, outdoor swimming pool and cabana, outdoor kitchen, business and fitness facilities, as well as a dog exercise area. Sidewalks and walking trails will connect residents to nearby shopping and services.

“This Center 301 Apartments development brings a new housing choice to the citizens of Belton with market rate rental units that have easy access to employment centers as well as the city’s many retail offerings,” said Dave Clements, Belton’s director of planning and building.

The developer expects rates to range from $965 to $1,420, depending on market conditions upon completion of the single-phase, 18-month project, which is slated for a 2021 groundbreaking.
