New plans continue this week for a senior housing development near Veterans Park in Shawnee. The developer’s plans call for the creation of an independent senior residential development with 60 attached villa units in 30 buildings as condominiums and 240 apartment units in five multi-story buildings. The property is zoned as planned unit development mixed residential, with a final plat of six lots and three tracts on 28.66 acres. The developer intends for the 60 villa units to be marketed to “empty nesters” age 55 or older. Each unit will range from 1,558 to 2,300 square feet and have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two car garages. All homes will have basements with some walkouts.
