Ellis Glen Update: Summer 2025 Opening in Downtown Lee’s Summit

Ellis Glen, downtown Lee’s Summit’s first urban infill mixed-use development since 2001, is on track for July 2025 completion. Developed by Integrity Group Real Estate, the 34,324-square-foot project is replacing a long-blighted parcel with a modern, walkable development just steps from restaurants, retail, and the future Downtown Farmer’s Market.

The three-story building will include 26 upscale residential units—studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, vinyl plank flooring, and contemporary finishes.

On the ground floor, Ellis Glen will deliver 9,000 square feet of commercial space across three suites:

  • Suite A: 2,380 SF

  • Suite B: 2,886 SF

  • Suite C: 2,948 SF

  • The suites are build-to-suit and available at $27/SF NNN, offering retail and office users prime visibility in the heart of downtown.

“Our goal was to optimize the ground floor for retail use while incorporating one- and two-bedroom residential units on the upper levels. The design offers a contemporary take on the historic downtown aesthetic by integrating brick elements and emphasizing natural daylight throughout the spaces. We also introduced outdoor areas in front of the retail units to enhance the walkability of the downtown environment. These flexible outdoor spaces allow each tenant to craft a unique experience tailored to the specific needs of their business,” says Sam Collins Principal at Collins I Webb Architecture.

Neighbors Construction is overseeing vertical construction as general contractor. The Kansas City-based firm brings deep experience in delivering mixed-use and multifamily projects on time and within scope.

"Ellis Glen had tight site lines and all of the trades navigated those well. Much of the work had to be staged to accommodate the tight site. The superintendent on the project, Sean French, was a true leader and truly blossomed during the project. I am really proud of his growth," says Ryan Neighbors, Vice President and Project Manager at Neighbors Construction

Named in honor of Ellis Glen Bellis, the grandfather of co-owner Pam Hatcher, the development team includes Pam and Tom Hatcher, Jennifer Meents, and Scott Miles, with funding support from Landmark National Bank.

The project was awarded a 25-year, 75% tax abatement through the LCRA Board. For leasing information, contact Erika at 816-745-0055 or erika@igrekc.com.
