Cavan Companies Expands Into Kansas City With The Bungalows At Maple Woods
Cavan Companies is expanding into Kansas City with the development of The Bungalows at Maple Woods, a 153-unit single-story Build-to-Rent community at the northeast corner of Highway 152 and NE Barry Road in the Northland corridor. The 16-acre site sits near Maple Woods Community College and established retail corridors in a neighborhood with a median household income of approximately $92,000.
Horizontal construction is projected to begin in June 2026, with vertical construction anticipated six to eight months thereafter. The community will feature a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom single-story residences with private fenced backyards, garages, and access to a community clubhouse and fitness center.
Kansas City’s multifamily fundamentals remain steady, with rents growing approximately 3 to 4 percent annually and occupancy near 93 percent. New supply represents roughly 3.4 percent of existing inventory, indicating a measured development environment relative to several high-growth Sunbelt metros.
“Kansas City represents the type of market where long-term housing demand and economic stability align,” said Norm Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Cavan Companies. “Our approach is centered on building in markets with measured supply growth, strong employment bases, and sustainable absorption trends. We believe Kansas City offers that balance.”
The Bungalows at Maple Woods advances Cavan’s Midwest platform. The firm currently operates two Build-to-Rent communities in Omaha, Nebraska, and is in the process of closing on a third. Cavan says its Midwest growth strategy focuses on building regional density to enhance operational efficiencies and long-term portfolio durability.
This announcement underscores continued industry interest in suburban and single-story Build-to-Rent product that offers household-style amenities and private outdoor space. For owners and operators, the project highlights the role of local fundamentals and controlled supply in site selection and execution timelines.
