The Complete Neighborhood
What if everything you needed was within a five-minute walk?
Why This Place Is Different
Most apartments are just apartments. You drive to daycare. You drive to the doctor. You drive to the grocery store. And you pay a utility bill on top of rent.
Here, all of that is within a five-minute walk. And your electric bill is zero.
A Different Approach
What if housing, healthcare, childcare, a food hall, a community center, and job-connected transit all existed within a five-minute walk? That's what Historic Northeast Lofts will be.
Not just 395 homes — though we're proud of them. But a complete neighborhood. The kind of neighborhood that used to exist in every American city before we zoned it out of existence.
This is what a neighborhood looks like when you design it around what people actually need.
What if everything you needed was right where you lived?

About the Developer
Historic Northeast Lofts is developed by Arnold Development Group, a Kansas City-based B-Corporation led by Jonathan Arnold.
ADG's previous projects include Second and Delaware — a 276-unit development in Kansas City that earned the National Apartment Association's Best New Construction Community in the country (2022) and is the world's largest Passive House certified building. Before ADG, Arnold founded Arnold Imaging in 1998, a visualization firm that has helped shape developments nationwide.
ADG builds to a Triple Bottom Line — People, Planet, Profit — and designs buildings meant to last 100 years or more.
