Local Developer Fran Sutton Homes and Builder Clayton® Unveil New Attainable Housing Neighborhood in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, KS. March 20, 2026- - The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas (UG), in partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Local Developer Fran Sutton Homes, and Clayton®, unveiled three new single-family CrossMod homes in the Klamm Park Neighborhood in Kansas City, Kansas. State, local and federal officials joined community leaders for a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the debut of the development.

The development is part of a broader UG effort to transform bank-owned vacant land into new housing opportunities in KCK. This initiative highlights how innovative off-site home building approaches can help expand access to homeownership while increasing housing supply in locations across the country. Wyandotte County currently has more than 4,000 vacant lots that generate no property tax revenue until they are redeveloped. By building homes on these sites, projects like this help revitalize local communities while expanding access to attainable homeownership for families living in the area.

The development will feature 27 CrossMod® homes built on permanent basements, representing one of the first examples of this innovative housing type being delivered in this format. Homes in the development are expected to start at approximately $185,000, offering a more attainable price.

“Off-site construction allows builders to deliver high-quality homes more efficiently,” said Andrew Bryant, Business Development Manager – Clayton, CrossMod Initiative. “By building 70 percent of the home in a climate-controlled environment, builders can reduce construction timelines and deliver efficiencies that help make homeownership more attainable.”
