Hausmann Construction, recognized for its innovative and relationship-driven approach, continues to shape Kansas City’s thriving housing and development landscape. With a portfolio exceeding $1 billion across eight states and six corporate offices, the firm has built a reputation for delivering high-quality projects that meet the demands of a competitive real estate market.
Kansas City’s real estate market has garnered national attention, recently earning the title of the No. 1 housing market in the United States, according to a 2024 US News and World Report. Contributing to this momentum, Hausmann is behind two major developments: The Helm and Meadow Lake Apartments.
The Helm, located near downtown Kansas City, is a 224-unit luxury apartment and mixed-use project encompassing 220,000 SF. The project is set to reach full completion later this year and will feature four-story buildings, a clubhouse with a FEMA shelter, a fitness studio, a yoga room, office spaces, and a pool. With phased turnovers already underway, leasing activity has underscored strong demand.
Further south of downtown Meadow Lake Apartments is a 213-unit residential community scheduled for completion in 2026. Spanning 308,000 SF, the development includes an above-podium parking garage with 237 stalls and 4,900 SF of commercial space. Amenities such as a fitness center, pool courtyard, and outdoor living areas aim to blend luxury with functionality, further enhancing the appeal of Kansas City’s growing housing market.
Hausmann’s expertise extends beyond multi-family residential developments to senior living communities, showcasing its versatility in meeting diverse housing needs. Recent large-scale projects include The Lofts at Fox Ridge and Meadowbrook. The Lofts at Fox Ridge, a 396-unit apartment complex situated on a 30-acre site, includes 12 buildings, nine garages, and a clubhouse. High-end features like spacious balconies, a fitness center, and a resort-style pool cater to modern living preferences.

On a different scale, Meadowbrook, a 385,000 SF senior living campus, includes 222 units spread across seven interconnected buildings, offering memory care, assisted living, and independent living accommodations. Shared spaces, such as dining areas, a library, and a salon, enhance the sense of community for residents. Despite the challenges of building on a tight site, the project was completed on schedule, earning praise for its resident-centered execution and seamless move-in coordination.
Hausmann stands out for its ability to navigate complex regulatory frameworks, particularly in HUD-financed projects. With expertise in zoning, permitting, and federal compliance, including Davis-Bacon wage standards and Section 3 hiring policies, the firm ensures developers meet local and federal requirements efficiently.
Hausmann’s developer-focused approach begins early in preconstruction, offering insights that balance initial costs with long-term savings. This proactive strategy delivers projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. Its multi-sector expertise also enables competitive pricing and market-driven solutions, solidifying its role as a trusted partner in Kansas City development.
Commitment to quality and innovation is central to Hausmann’s success. The firm consistently delivers projects with minimal punch list items, as seen in The Helm’s early phases, and provides reliable preconstruction budgets backed by market analysis. Close collaboration with developers and design teams minimizes delays and aligns projects with client expectations.
As Kansas City’s housing market continues its upward trajectory, Hausmann is poised to remain a key player in the region’s development. Its growing portfolio reflects a deep understanding of market demands and a dedication to delivering high-quality, innovative projects. With a focus on excellence and strong developer relationships, Hausmann is well-positioned to meet the challenges and opportunities of an evolving real estate landscape.
