Site work resumes on Veterans Park senior village in Shawnee

Site work has resumed at Bonavia at Veterans Park, a Class-A apartment complex, and Veterans Park Senior Village, a villa community, on the northwest corner of 62nd Street and Pflumm Road in Shawnee, Kan.

Shawnee-based developer, JC Mulligan Development Group, restarted site work on August 7, 2020 after a nearly six-month delay, resulting from the economic effects of COVID-19.

The four and five-story Bonavia at Veterans Park apartments - intended for active adults 55 years and older - include 228 units with elevator-access. Veterans Park Senior Village will consist of 60 attached villas, starting at $345,000 per unit.

Approximate rental rates for the Bonavia will be $1,425 per month for a one-bedroom, 900-SF unit and $1,750-$1,875 per month for the two-bedroom, 1,100 -1,200-SF units.

Wichita-based Omega Senior Living will manage the development and offer social events, continuing education classes, fitness classes and video entertainment.

The community-center style clubhouse will feature exercise facilities, card room, media room, reception room and a kitchenette. Other amenities include a saltwater pool with zero-depth entry, hot tub and cabana, walking paths, a putting green and a bocce ball court.

JC Mulligan Development Group bought the property in September 2018 from Qrivit and has no plans to pursue public financing.

Site improvements are expected to be complete within the next few months, followed by construction of the apartments and villas. The project is expected to be complete by winter 2022-23.
