Lenexa commission advances Watercrest, Copper Creek project

Renewed plans for the Watercrest South and Copper Creek Apartments project were advanced by the Lenexa Planning Commission on Monday. Components of the proposed project along K-7 Highway include 634 apartments, 30-acre mixed-use commercial space and more.

The Lenexa Planning Commission on Monday reviewed the latest project plans for Watercrest South and the Copper Creek Apartments, advancing the proposal.

The location for different housing types also has been reshuffled across the master-planned community, proposed for 188 acres southwest of Monticello Road and 90th Street, east of Kansas Highway 7.

Original plans from Leawood-based P&L Development LLC and Lenexa-based QC Development called for 1,239 housing units of different types and commercial uses, to be built over at least 11 phases.

Despite a recommendation from city planners, City Council members in August remanded Watercrest South and the Copper Creek Apartments back for further review.

Plans so far include construction of 634 apartments, a 123-acre residential portion of Watercrest South, 192 single-family home lots, 143 dwelling units in townhomes, 30-acre mixed-use commercial space and more.
