#2: The Levy at Martini Corner: Courtesy of Yates & Yates, The Levy is designed to seamlessly connect Downtown KC to the Plaza area, closing the gap in the city’s urban fabric. Set in the heart of Martini Corner — a hotspot for restaurants and nightlife — the project delivers modern multifamily living right where the action is. Project partners include Garrison Companies, Clockwork Architecture + Design, Ronco Construction, RTM Engineering Consultants, and Taliaferro & Browne Inc. What we like: Bridging the Plaza and Downtown marks an exciting milestone for Kansas City — and it signals the city’s undeniable momentum. The Levy is envisioned as a luxury, high-end community with a sophisticated, moody vibe — think Noka’s atmosphere reimagined for residential living.

With I-470 and US-50 just minutes away, Trilogy offers easy access to the Kansas City metro while keeping you close to shopping, dining, and entertainment in Lee’s Summit. As a Phase III community, Trilogy follows record-breaking lease-ups of nearby Summit Square (Phase 1) and The Donovan (Phase 2) Apartments. What we like: Trilogy is smack in the middle of the LSMO action, nestled between Summit Fair and Summit Woods Crossing with endless shopping, dining, and entertainment nearby.

Project partners include Ryan Companies, NSPJ Architects, EPC Real Estate, Olsson, Bob D. Campbell, and Lankford & Associates.

Project partners include Cerris, BRR, Tran + Thomas. The property is managed by Greystar. What we like: The Hudson name comes from a little local history — Rainbow Blvd used to be called Hudson Road until 1919, when it was renamed to honor World War I Rainbow Division vets.
