The Donovan

The Donovan prepares for June opening in Lee's Summit

Phase two of Summit Square's luxury apartment complex, The Donovan, is expected to open this summer at 837 NW Donovan Rd. in Lee's Summit, Mo.

Developed and managed by NorthPoint Development, the 327-unit, multifamily community will showcase one and two bedroom units, highlighted by a cross-sharing amenities program with their phase-one counterpart.

The long (and impressive) list of unique and modern amenities includes a grotto-style plunge pool and meditation spa, zero-entry pool, 16-ft rock climbing wall, 24-hr cyber cafe + gourmet coffee bar and a private yoga studio.

"In my twenty-nine years of managing, leasing and opening brand new apartment communities in the Kansas City metro, I have never been so excited about a project. We can not wait for everyone to see how spectacular this community will be," said Pam Lakey, multi-site manager for NorthPoint.

The apartment amenities also include:

  • 24-Hour cardio blast fitness center

  • Poolside BBQ center

  • Media lounge with jumbo screen sports simulator

  • Resident event kitchen

  • Detached and attached garages

  • 24-hour emergency maintenance

  • Poolside ping-pong & foosball

  • Hammock garden

  • Three-seasons solarium resident lounge

  • Steam/dry sauna

  • Controlled-access buildings

  • Elevator-serviced building

  • On-site guest suite

The Donovan plans to move in their first residents on June 20th and hopes to stabilize occupancy in less than a year. One-bedroom units start at $959/month; two-bedroom start at $1,449/month.

Summit Square opened in December of 2017 and reached stabilization in April 2019. To date, Summit Square is 96% occupied, increasing occupancy during the COVID-19 shutdown. 

Project partners include NSPJ Architects and Neighbors Construction. Construction will continue on the remainder of the five-building multifamily community, expected to be complete by January 2021.
